FEDERATION OF RHODESIA AND NYASALAND DECLARED, A CULIMATION OF DECADES OF COOPERATION
March 1932
It was only three years prior to the current date when the members of the Hilton Young Commission stood firm and stated as their ending report that the Colonies of Nyasaland and Northern Rhodesia lay not in federation with the British East African Territories, but rather in a Union with Southern Rhodesia which with its close proximity and importance would provide greater Administrative power. Indeed Southern Rhodesia had already wrestled the rights of self governance in 1922 with the passing of a national referendum on responsible governance, which the British proceeded to accept and eventually granted officially on the 1st of October 1923. This date is enshrined within Southern Rhodesia as a form of Independence day, as since that date their Government was able to achieve a form of Government allowing them to undertake decisions relating to internal administration without the pre-requisite of London's approval. This had served them well, as they have in that short timespan achieved many great things, both economic and in terms of clout within the Empire itself (being referred to as the Breadbasket of Africa, a prestigious title among the colonies).
Today, the 3rd of March 1932 shall become etched alongside that fateful date in 1923 as it is today that Representatives from the Colonies of Northern Rhodesia and Nyasaland have signed an association agreement with Southern Rhodesia to set in stone the recommendations of the Hilton Young Commission. Many of their Institutions already interdependent due to economic and administrative necessity, they today made the final step into Federation by signing the Victoria Falls Memorandum, signed at the same place between the borders of Northern and Southern Rhodesia. Within this Memorandum the three Governments make it their pledge to tighten colonial cooperation in the stead of his Majesty the King, erase internal borders between the three territories and most importantly to form a singular shared Parliamentary structure to replace their existing political systems. Ratifying their decision were Referendums held by the white populations of all three territories, the results of which were dispatched to the House of Commons in Britain itself, just as it had been done when Southern Rhodesia achieved self-rule.
Southern Rhodesia due to its existing Economic superiority over the region, as well as possessing the largest City in the Federation was awarded the status of Capital Territory, Salisbury becoming the Official Capital of the Federation and thus home to its new Parliamentary structure. Godfrey Huggins, Prime Minister of Southern Rhodesia since the 2nd of September 1927 was reaffirmed as Prime Minister of the greater Federal Construct by the varying Parliaments in each Territory. Southern Rhodesia, which until this point had possessed the most military independence (having its own training structure and recruitment authority since 1923) had its Armed forces absorbed into the greater "Central African" (CAF) Armed Forces.
Importantly however, the three Governments had decided not to incorporate the Tribal Citizens of the three Colonies as potential Citizens as the implications of a hyper-minority owning the majority of land and capital whereas labor would be almost entirely black-African. To remedy this situation the Federations first task would be land-designation, that being into four Categories : European (owned directly by whites), National Land (owned by the Federal Government), Native Trust Land (owned by Tribes and other indigenous constructs) and finally Native Purchases (land to be purchased or rented from Tribes for the Federal Government). Tribal Citizens would not be required to pay most of the taxes owed by Citizens, save for Utilities taxes, but in turn will receive no rights or access to Education or participation in Governance.
Demographically the move for Federation was the epitome of logic, as it increased the overall White share of the population and thus increased the chance of long term stability in minority governance. Out of a total Population of 5,679,699 some 193,238 were White, the remainder being a mixture of Black and mixed groups. While still a miniscule share at 3.4% of the total Population, it was much favorable than the 1.32% in Northern Rhodesia and the 0.12% in Nyasaland before Federation. In exchange for slightly diluting Southern Rhodesia's 4.79% a greater array of land had been acquired and made more viable. Migration was as always at the forefront of their strategy, a wide array of bonuses for white Britons who chose to undertake the move along with parcels of land continuing to be the main lure. In fact since the First World War the overall white Population of the entire Federation had almost tripled due to increased resource extraction and growing Industrial Practices which required Citizen labor rather than tribal workers.
Ultimately a victory for the Southern Rhodesian Elite, which unlike their two northern counterparts were more nationalistic in nature (having lived on their territory for a much longer amount of time) and thus more invested in securing a long life for their Power Structure. Loyal to Britain and Empire, the Federation is the newest attempt at creating a modern and incorporated Colony with hope for Independence along the same lines as Canada, South Africa, Australia or New Zealand.

FRANKFURTER ZEITUNG - MARCH 1932 - ISSUE°1
CHANCELLOR OLAF STRAUSMANN FLOATS NOTION OF SUSPENDING ADOLPH HEIDLER'S RIGHT TO RUN FOR OFFICE
BERLIN - In a speech to a socialite's gala in Berlin, Interim Chancellor Olaf Strausmann, a former Reichstag MP appointed interim chancellor until the June 1932 elections, continued his attacks on the right-wing Volkists and the far-left Communists and, to the surprise of everyone in the room, which included one of this newspaper's very own reporters, floated the notion of requesting the Reichstag, currently held by a Centre-SPD coalition government, to suspend Volkist leader Adolph Heidler's right to run for office in the elections this June. "Germany faired well under centrist and checked governance in the 1920s, and it was only in recent years - when radicals like the Volkists and Communists began to rise - that internal turmoil within our Republic began." Strausmann said.
The Volkists, Communists and some Social Democrats have protested Strausmann's statements, urging the Reichstag to remain faithful to its democratic principles and allow all candidates willing and eligible to run for office. Volk Party leader Adolph Heidler has not officially remarked on the situation. However, top Reichstag MPs from both sides of the aisle are 'floating the idea as well', according to inside sources.
JOHANNES WINKLER, CO-FOUNDER OF THE VfR ROCKETRY GROUP, ON THE POSSIBILITY OF SPACE TRAVEL
My name is Johannes Winkler and I am one of the founders of the Verein für Raumschiffahrt, an amateur rocket organization dedicated to developing and furthering space flight capabilities and making flight into the heavens real. Many have wondered whether or not space flight is even possible. I assure you, and science backs this notion, it is indeed real. The heavens stand before us, right above us, waiting to be explored by us. As of the current moment we possess not the means to travel into space, but with perseverance and good effort we shall eventually reach the cosmos.
In Herman Oberth's Die Rakete zu den Planetenräumen, published 1923, the groundwork for developing so-called 'rocket engines' were created. Acting on initiative myself and two others, Max Valier and Willy Ley, established this VfR society to further experimentation and research into these rocket engines. In the words of one of our esteemed members, one Wernher Von Braun, "Hermann Oberth was the first who, when thinking about the possibility of spaceships, grabbed a slide-rule and presented mathematically analyzed concepts and designs ... I, myself, owe to him not only the guiding-star of my life, but also my first contact with the theoretical and practical aspects of rocketry and space travel. A place of honor should be reserved in the history of science and technology for his ground-breaking contributions in the field of astronautics."

FRANKFURTER ZEITUNG - APRIL 1932 - ISSUE°1
PRESIDENT HINDENBURG'S CHANCES OF RE-ELECTION HIGH AS CENTRE PARTY CONTINUES TO LEAD IN POLLS BY SIX PERCENT
BERLIN - President Paul von Hindenburg, while a quiet and reserved man, continues to charge ahead in pre-election polls alongside his Centre (Zentrum) Party, which currently continues to lead in polls by a massive six percent over the Social Democrats (SPD), the Volkists (VK), and the Communists (C) respectively. While the Centre Party has gone down from its fifteen point lead prior to the start of the Heinrich Bruning scandal, the party and Hindenburg - who thanks to his disassociation with the Bruning scandal is still seen as a revered and experienced veteran statesman - continues to lead thanks to their relative effectiveness at running the country, particularly in the 1920s as the Weimar Republic recovered from the Great War of 1914-1918. President Hindenburg in presidential pre-election polls is currently pulling 49%, with Otto Wels of the SPD polling 18%, Adolph Heidler of the Volk Party pulling 17%, and Communist candidate Ernst Thalmann taking 16%.
In nationwide party-centered polls, the Centre Party is pulling ahead of the SPD by six percent, the Volkists by ten percent, and the Communists by sixteen percent. This large lead has increased the confidence of Centre politicians, who are now going even more aggressively against the far-right and far-left Volkists and Communists, declaring that 'the last time Germany was run by reactionaries and radicalists we lost the largest war in history'.
ADOLPH HEIDLER CONDEMNS INTERIM CHANCELLOR OLAF STRAUSMANN, DEMANDS 'AN EQUAL ELECTION'
BERLIN - In a rousing speech before members of the Volk Party, far-right ultranationalist and militarist Adolph Heidler condemned Interim Chancellor and Centre (Ce) candidate for the chancellery in the June elections Olaf Strausmann for raising the notion of suspending Heidler's right to run for the chancellery in the upcoming federal elections due to the fact that 'his radicalism will certainly not benefit Germany in any way'. Strausmann's proposal had garnered support among SPD and Centre Reichstag MPs who saw the Volks and Heidler as a threat to the centrist parties' hold on power, and thus wished to ensure that the chancellery did not fall into the hands of a reactionary like Heidler.
Also in his speech, Heidler demanded 'an equal and fair election' in which he shall be allowed to run, prompting remarks by Interim Chancellor Strausmann and other Centre and SPD MPs that the Volkist leader was being 'extremely hypocritical'. In spite of worries that the Centre Party is moving away from democracy in order to prevent reactionaries from taking power, they continue to lead in polls by wide margins.

President Justo continues his plans for the modernization of the country. Saying in a speech given in Santa Rosa.
"It is of great importance that we connect our country with a great highway system like that of which the rest of the world is already constructing. It will provide us with more economic opportunities then truthfully we can imagine. We also need more railroads and to better our current infrastructure. Under my administration I promise to you that these vital projects will be finished and we will be able to to exploit them as soon as they are finished."
A timeframe for these projects has not yet been given, although the secretary of treasury has confirmed that it has been in the works for sometime. Recently the Argentine Republic signed a trade agreement with Metropolitan Francais to bring oil and automobiles into the country. It is thought that the Automobiles will be used as a boost to the automotive industry being spread across the country and used by universities as tools to teach Argentinians. The estimated cost of this project is huge. Looking at a figure of possibly up to $400,000 per mile of highway built. The country is currently lead by the mining industry. With metals now being exported and used for arms manufacturing within the country. Agriculture is the next largest industry with Argentina being able to produce enough food for its people.
It is unknown when this massive transportation project will start. However what is known is that it is supported almost the nation over, President Justo's reelection prospects have risen thanks to the announcement of this project. Maps with projected highway routes are already being handed out and the Nation is founding a national automobile club for sunday drivers and automobile enthusiasts to be able to take full advantage of the future plans, and the jobs that this project is creating are expected to help the economy in a huge way.

[list][sub]ARAB NATIONAL SOCIALIST PARTY AND YOUNG EGYPT COOPERATION?[/sub][/list]
| [sub]After revelations of the uprising and rioting in Central Baghdad, the Young Egypt Party has taken a particular interest in the situation within Iraq. It is believed that the Young Egypt party wishes to gather allies, in neighbouring Arab nations, in an attempt to rapidly push through the common ideology that the two parties share across the Arab world. Young Egypt Party "Zaeim" (Leader) Hussein has personally invited the leader of the ASNP party to Cairo for detailed discussion and debates on how to push the ideology further, and the removal of British and imperial influence across the Middle East. The YEP has offered those in Baghdad the paramilitary assistance of the party and offered to train the ASNP Iraqi's.[/sub] |
| [sub]All of this comes at a time where Egypt is in a constitutional crisis, the two main parties within Egypt are yet to strike a coalition government deal with the YEP. However the Wafd is awfully close, and the main debate is regarding the prevalence of YEP ministers within government. The Wafd party wishes to give the Young Egypt Party an irrelevant ministerial position, however on the contrary the Young Egypt Party wish to be seen as equals and demand a higher position in government. With one of the great offices being chalked up by Young Egypt officials, such as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Home Secretary, Chancellor or Ministry of Defence.[/sub] |

[sub]| HELM OF LIBERTÉ, MINISTÈRE DE LINTÉRIEUR - | Less than one full year into his presidency, the distinguished and reserved President Paul Doumer has been assassinated in cold blood. This shocking news comes to bear on all French minds after the release of the Police Ministry's report on the incident which saw the deranged Paul Gorguloff, a Russian émigré (emigrant) fire the fatal shots, ending the 75 year old president's life at a book fair in Paris. |[/sub]
[list][sub] Official Police Report: [*]On 6 May of 1932, at approximately 3:54 PM, President Paul Doumer of the French Republic was in Paris at the opening of a book fair at the Hôtel Salomon de Rothschild, talking to the author Claude Farrère. Suddenly several shots were fired by Paul Gorguloff, a Russian émigré. Two of the shots hit Doumer, at the base of the skull and in the right armpit, and he fell to the ground. Claude Farrère wrestled with the assassin before the police arrived. Doumer was rushed to the hospital in Paris, where he died at 04:37 AM on 7 May. The assailant, Paul Gorguloff was promptly detained by police and taken into custody.[/sub][/list]
[sub]| While Paul Gorguloff remains imprisoned, awaiting his trial and assured execution, the whole nation mourns the loss of a great statesman and national leader. The prominent author, André Maurois was an eyewitness to the assassination, having come to the book fair to autograph copies of his book. As Maurois notes, because the President was assassinated at a meeting of writers, it was decided that writers - Maurois himself among them - should stand guard over his body while he lay in state at the Élysée. A state funeral has been planned for the 13th of May. In accordance with the line of succession, Senate President Albert François Lebrun has become acting President of France. [/sub]|

[sup]The Siamese Reformation[/sup][/list]
| [sub]Siams recent history has been plagued with economic woes and trivial infighting between the monarchy and the state. King Vajiravudh, stylised as King Rama VI had overseen huge financial deficits, and austerity cuts largely to areas other than the Palace. An attempted Palace Revolt in 1912 had left the monarchy wary of all possible threats and the increasing failure of the Siamese state to provide for all had made King Rama VI increasingly paranoid about another attempted Coup.[/sub] |
| [sub]Fortunately for Siam, less so for King Rama VI, Vajiravudh passed away following a sudden and short illness on the 26 November 1925, the same day his daughter was born who he laid eyes upon for a couple of hours. Previously this would have caused a crisis of succession, but in 1924 the laws had been changed to prioritise the Chakri Dynasty with the throne passing to his younger brother, Prince Prajadhipok of Sukhothai.[/sub] |
| [sub]Prince Prajadhipok was relatively unprepared for the throne, having risen rapidly up the line of succession as his elder brothers died. Prajadhipok had studied at Eton College, Great Britain Gb and joined the Woolwich Military Academy from which he graduated in 1913. Following the declaration of Siamese neutrality in the Great War he was ordered home by his brother from the British commission and was told to return to Siam immediately, a great embarrassment to the prince, who wanted to serve with his men on the Western front.[/sub] |
| [sub]Upon his succession on 25 February 1926 he was titled King Rama VII and became an absolute monarch at the age of thirty-two, his first task was to restore trust in the authority of the crown and regain control of the spiralling finances of the throne. Introducing deep cuts to the money of the Crown, even at his own expense; selling off many of the hundreds of Palaces; cutting the living allowance and share of the money paid to the crown by taxes. At the same time he created the Supreme Council of the State of Siam consisting of five experienced royals and five experienced civil servants and former ministers. To mark a break with the previous reign of his brother, the experienced royals had all previously fallen out of favour with his predecessor.[/sub] |
| [sub]As Siams economic worries started to fade in 1930 the world was hit with a new economic crisis, the Wall Street Crash, Prajadhipok had spent much time introducing local democracy and attempting to westernise areas outside of Bangkok, slightly overspending and Siams lack of proper economy saw the country hit hard. Prajadhipok proposed the levying of general income taxes and property taxes to help alleviate the sufferings of the poor, which was heavily resisted by the Supreme Council as they feared their own earnings would be hit, but Prajadhipok forced through the proposals, which albeit helped in smalls amounts, it garnered the respect of ordinary people who saw the rich taking a hit to help the poor. Economic reforms saw increased government spending on infrastructure projects to build the country out of economic woes, like seen in countries like New Provenance.[/sub] |
| [sub]An alleged prophecy dating back to the days of King Rama I, which predicted the end of the dynasty on its 150th anniversary, this prophecy haunted many as on April 6 1932 the dynasty entered its 150th year. King Rama VII was instead of worrying about its downfall, was openly planning to give up much of his power and implementing a new constitution that would transform Rattanakosin Kingdom into the Kingdom of Siam under a constitutional monarchy. And thats where we join Siam, on the start of its journey to democracy.[/sub] |

[list]THE CAIRO TIMES: COALITION DEAL STRUCK ; THE WAFD PARTY FORMS GOVERNMENT WITH THE YOUNG EGYPT PARTY [/list][/list][/list]
[list][sub]A HISTORICAL MOMENT FOR EGYPT Political Editor: Sadid Mufid Cham[/sub][/list]
| [sub]Following the 1931 Elections, almost 6 months ago, Egypt has been in a state of a constitutional crisis. The Wafd party had attained enough votes to be proclaimed the largest party, yet needed the assistance of another party to form a government. The only plausible options for the Wafd party were to either form a coalition with the Young Egypt Party, a youthful but fervent nationalistic and fascist group, or govern the country with a minority government. This would create the possibility of every form of government legislature being shot down within parliament, leading to the country becoming gridlocked. Neither option was tasteful for the Wafd party, but Prime Minister Mahmoud Mohammad Pasha believes that the Young Egypt Party can be bent to the will of the Wafd Conservatives - commonly known as the establishment 'old guard' in Egyptian politics. [/sub] |
| [sub]Despite the Young Egypt Party attaining 13% of the popular vote, and 57 seats, they are the most important cog in the Egyptian political machine at present. Without them, the government cannot proceed with necessary reforms and legislature and a fresh election may have to be recalled with the potential for even more YEP seats gained - the exact opposite of Wafd interests. Therefore, the first issue for the two parties to settle was on the matter of the balance of ministers between parties. Naturally, the Wafd party had attained more votes and thus is entitled to have the most ministers but the exact amount was a tedious debate until recently. The YEP and Wafd party decided to split the ministerial positions 75% Wafd and 25% YEP - this is in proportion to the amount of popular vote attained in the last election. The most striking revelation, although, comes from YEP leader Ahmed Hussein attaining a position within the 'Great Offices' as he becomes Egyptian Foreign Secretary, a stipulation that was vehemently demanded by the party. This means that for the first time in history, the 'Young Egyptians' have a foothold in government. This is a monumental occasion and will go down in future history as a moment of change in Egyptian politics. Will the government survive the obvious ideological differences between the two parties? Will the 'Young Egyptians' shoot down the government legislature they disagree with? Only time will tell, but what can be said is that the 'Young Egyptians' will be extremely pleased with this outcome. [/sub] |

[list][list]A BITTER WINTER FOR THE GREAT SOUTHERN EMPIRE
4 May 1932 - Rio de Janeiro, Imperial Capital, Empire of Brazil[/list][/list]
| The great Empire of Brazil has only barely held onto life since the death of Emperor Pedro II in 1899. An Empress and an Emperor later and Pedro II's grandson, Emperor Pedro III, maintains a tenuous and ever-loosening control over the vast Empire which had once been the center of the Lusitanian World. In the modern era, the Emperor has done little but oversee an increasing lag in the Brazilian economy, the loss of territory and prestige, and political infighting which has torn the country along gubernatorial lines, where petty officials and local statesmen have created entities tantamount to feudal domains out of their local polities. 63-year-old Pedro III, kept in power solely due to the self-interests of the Brazilian satraps, has become increasingly detested across a broad spectrum of Brazil's populace, undoing any of the goodwill which had been so carefully maintained by Empress Isabel from 1899 until her death in 1921. |
| As the winter of 1932 begins to creep in, the effects of the calamity caused by the Great Depression continue to exacerbate. The Brazilian economy has been rendered completely impotent by the Depression, with agricultural exports down nearly 60% since 1928 and foreign investments having all but fled. Across Brazil, wages have stagnated and the standard of living has plummeted. The Depression has affected members of Brazilian society from every class, from the rural farmer to the urban professional, and the tremendous inflation has seen the cities fill up with former urban professionals now left bereft of jobs and homes within them. |
| What little government response that has been undertaken by the Imperial government has miserably failed at fixing the issues plaguing the country, and have served as an entirely reactive set of measures which respond, oftentimes months after the fact, to the various situations which have been unfolding. In one example last winter, amid a surge of coffee harvesting and a plummet in exports, national authorities ordered the dumping of hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of coffee into the ocean in attempt to mitigate the issues of supply and demand. Efforts to fix the growing trade deficits, inflation, poverty and instability elsewhere have similarly been entirely reactive, oftentimes failing outright on anything beyond a local level. |
| Increasingly, both left- and right-wing members of the General Assembly have moved towards calling for sweeping reforms within Brazil, a message largely supported by the populace. As Pedro III falls ever more out of favor with the general populace, politicians within the legislature have found a chance to establish themselves as leaders among segments of the Brazilian citizenry. Could the lingering effects of the Great Depression further hasten the transition of Brazil's politics towards that of near-complete republicanism under a neutered monarchy? Time will tell, however with the General Assembly feeling the fire placed under their feet by growing demands from advocacy groups and popular movements developing across the nation, an answer is growing clearer. |
| The Imperial Army has maintained, for now, their loyalty to the current system, however reports in underground left-wing outlets indicates a shift in attitude among much of the soldiery within the Brazilian Army. More and more Brazilian service personnel have indicated their desire for increased pay as inflation continues to make current wages unsustainable, and have expressed dissatisfaction with incessant corruption which has plagued the Imperial military for many decades. An increase in court martials by the military courts for 'treasonous activities' in the last months supports the notion that members of the military are growing dissatisfied with their situation, which leads to fears of a civil war within Brazil. |

! Scene Soundtrack !
[pre]In 1924, Congress enacted legislation providing "adjusted compensation for the 3.3 million serviceman of the American Expeditionary Forces during World War I. Under this act, each veteran was authorized an additional $1.00 for each day of home service, and $1.25 a day for overseas service. Payment was made in the form of a new 21 year endowment life insurance policy that was payable at death or 1945, whichever came first. The policies would earn 4% interest, and the average payout totaled about $1,000.
Although by 1932, with the country sinking deeper into what many Americans saw as the Great Depression, the worst economic state the country has been in, in decades, since 1929 pending legislation proposed by Democratic Congressman WRIGHT PATMAN of Texas, a two-term firebrand populist from one of the countrys poorest congressional districts. PATMANs bill demanded $3.3 billion at once to pay the Great War Veterans, although the bill was held up in long waiting by the House Ways and means Committee.
With that, in the late spring of 1932, Great War veterans organizations urged to march on Washington to lobby for the bills passage. The first and largest of these contingents were known as the Bonus Expeditionary Force, or simply the Bonus Army, named after the AEF they served under in Europe during the Great War. They established a Hooverville along the banks of the Anacostia River, and also proceeded to occupy several unused government buildings. By mid-June, the Bonus Army grew to over 20,000 men. Washington Police chief GLASSFORD, decided to treat them simply as old soldiers who, like most of the country, have fallen on hard times.[/pre][/list][/list]
STATE, WAR & NAVY BUILDING
[sub]WASHINGTON D.C., [nation]Paramountica[/nation] AFTERNOON[/sub]
| Despite GLASSFORDs point of view, the Department of War saw it rather differently. When it came to the concern of War Secretary HURLEY, appointed by THE PRESIDENT, Army Chief of Staff MACARTHUR, and Major General MOSELEY the alarming growth of assembled American veterans of the Great War remained an uneasy feeling. From this, Army chief of Staff, MACARTHUR made his way down the marble floored corridors of the State, War, Navy Buildings Department of War section In late May, as headlines noted the Bonus Army was moving their way across the country, MACARTHUR opened the door to MOSELEYa office. He greets the two men, MOSELEY himself and the Armys Chief of Intelligence (G-2), the topic of this afternoons discussion: To consider the Militarys response to the Bonus Army. The military maintains it honor, despite being shrunken after the Great War. |
[list]| [sub]DOUGLAS MACARTHUR, Army Chief of Staff[/sub] | Gentlemen. Its great to see you both.[/list]
| MACARTHUR settles down on a an armchair, near both MOSELEYs and the G-2 Chief. |
[list]| [sub]GEORGE V.H. MOSELEY, Major General[/sub] | I think we can all agree, as well as this opinion is shared by Secretary Hurley, that this so called Bonus Army is just a bunch of ragtag collections of radicals, aliens, criminals and social misfits, no doubt, lead by a Bolshevik cadre intent on storming the American equivalent of the Winter Palace.[/list]
| The seriousness of the analogy sunk in for a moment, it had only been roughly a decade after all since Russia had succumbed to the spectre of Bolshevism. |
[list]| [sub]GEORGE V.H. MOSELEY, Major General[/sub] | Douglas, the Army ought to be prepared to meet any emergency that may arise.[/list]
| MACARTHUR pondered this for a moment. |
[list]| [sub]DOUGLAS MACARTHUR, Army Chief of Staff[/sub] | Oh well I dont know George. [Washington police chief] Glassford doesnt think so. Although I do admit, Glassford is civilian police, not Army, what do they know about these sorts of things anyhow.[/list]
| After 30 more minutes of discussion between the three men, it concludes: MACARTHUR is not convinced at this time The men conclude the meeting and go their separate ways, conducting their duties as military commands, as well as the issuing of orders pertaining to this meet-ups concerns. After an evenings reflection of the whole concept, MACARTHUR returned once again to MOSELEYs office and thus began to put the wheels into action. The nations capital must be ready for anything, only a little more than a decade ago did Czarist Russia collapse into the Soviet Union, and with the current economic state, one can never be too careful. |
[list]| [sub]DOUGLAS MACARTHUR, Army Chief of Staff[/sub] | George, you were right yesterday. Go ahead with the preparations you suggested.[/list]
| With that, MOSELEY took to dust off Plan White, the General Staffs battle plan to defend Washington in case of domestic rebellion. Plan White is part the rainbow of battle plans to combat any possible contingency: |

Buenos Aires, May 1932
"We will build Argentina from the ground up if we must. What we have currently will never suffice if we continue to fall behind our neighbors. We need to be the economic power of South America, a title we can actually fight for now that Brazil seems to be on the precipice of a civil war. We need to follow the major nations like the US, Europe, and Japan have done to jump their economies into the modern era. And this is all possible, for nothing is impossible."
Strong words from President Justo who has been travelling the country trying to get people to support his plan for the industrialization of nation. Many people already support this. And he has attempted to sale his plan to the agricultural side of the nation as well by showing them the benefits of industrialization for their farms. Streamlining crop production. All in all his plan has been a major success. Although it appears it will take roughly six or seven years to completely industrialize the country to the goals he is looking to achieve.
At the same time the President is enacting a new reform to the military. All adults age 18-35 who join the military can enjoy non-taxable income from the state. A move that President Justo is hoping will increase recruitment from across the entire nation. He wants an increase of 5% prior to 1935. President Justo is also trying to give the Argentine Military a boost in spending particularly in the Naval Department. Where the goal is to have a fleet capable of protecting the coast from possible invasion with the hopes for enough power projection that an invasion of Argentina is not preferred. Although with the current state of the Argentine Navy it is going to be a decades long endeavor. Although the Argentine Army on the other hand is state-of-the-art for a South American Nation. They have been the branch selected to receive the 5% boost in recruitment that the government wishes to see. With this they are hoping that the Army will continue to grow and become even stronger then it is now. Although that as well may be a task completed in the future.

[list][sup]| Boy: |[/sup] "Ar Mo! Don't leave me, Ar Mo!"[/list]
| "Ar Mo...Ar Mo...Don't leave me! Ar Mo!" The young boy, in his long yellow Manchu robes, ran after the rickshaw as fast as he could. Tears welled up in his eyes. "Ar Mo!" His servants rushed to him in the open court, while attempting not to touch him. His queue flew in the wind. The rickshaw would soon exit the walls of the Forbidden City, beyond which he was not to step. The young Puyi would lose the only mother he ever knew In reality, his wet nurse, as he had never seen his real mother. |
| Then, Puyi woke up. It was the very real world of Ryojun, 1932. In his bed robes, he stood facing the window, frustration boiling inside him. "Could I have been lied to? Could they be right?", he thought, reminiscing about the doom predicted by Wanrong and Old Chen about his voyage to Manchuria. |
[list][sup]| Masahiko Amakasu, IJA General: |[/sup] "You are to be considered a subject of His Imperial Majesty. Before we can properly bestow upon you the honors due, you will stay at the Yamato Hotel. Anarchists and traitors are out for your blood, Puyi."[/list]
| "No!", Puyi thought. "My destiny awaits. An Empire. I am right!", as he tried to chase away the memories of General Amakasu, his coarse minder who had welcomed him to Ryojun, who had the gall to address him as a simple servant, and not the Son of Heaven he was. But still...It had been two months in this hotel, without him being allowed out. Was he really under such threats? The young man's mind wandered... How he would have liked to see General Doihara instead, the pleasant man who had initially convinced him to come to Manchuria, in Tientsin! Or, even...The Emperor of Japan. A man his age, who could surely sympathize with his plight. Endless boredom... And those pressing thoughts, the doubt, assailing his mind. Without caring to prepare, Puyi stepped out onto the terrace. The air was cold, snow covered the cityscape, and he immediately came back inside. Waiting. |

[sup]Despite the 1929 Afghan Civil War officially ending with the death of its leader, the Bandit Kalakani, at the Battle of Kabul. His uncle, Purdil Khan, whom was appointed the Minister of War during the reign of Kalakani, remained at large and was the last remaining leader of the Saqqawists. The Saqqawists since the beginning of the rebellion had benefited from the support of the Tajik population, as the Bandit Kalakani himself was a Tajik, thus making him the first-ever Tajik padishah during his rule. Using this support, Purdil Khan would take what remained of the Saqqawists and entrench himself in the Province of Kuhistan which was primarily inhabited by Tajiks. Once situated, Purdil Khan would initiate a rebellion in July 1930, hoping to rally a second march on Kabul with support from the local Tajik population. Kabul was quick to respond, Nadir Shah unlike his predecessor was quick to mobilize a counterforce. That same month around the 20th, Nadir Shah would send his brother Field Marshal. Sardar Shah Wali Khan to Kuhistan with a thousand-strong army with an artillery attachment to crush the Saqqawists. Wali Khan would arrive in Kuhistan on the 22nd and fighting immediately ensued. The Saqqawist was a 3,000 strong army and while they did outnumber government forces greatly, most of the Saqqawist did not have rifles instead most were armed with axes, makeshift swords, and at best-improvised muskets. Only Purdil Khan's personal guard had modern rifles but would refrain from the frontline for most of the fighting. Wali's forces on the other hand outgunned the Saqqawists greatly with modern rifles, machine guns, and mountain artillery guns. The fighting would only last a week as Saqqawist forces were never able to effectively fight government forces, most of the fighting would most times boil down to Royal Army simply shelling the Saqqawist into submission or unloading their machine guns when Saqqawists attacked. The age of the sword in Afghanistan was long over. Purdie Khan himself would die in the midst of battle as he was fatally wounded by an artillery shell striking his stomach. With his death, most of the Saqqawists would abandon the battle or surrender to the Royal Army. 2600 of the rebels were captured and 11 of the ringleaders were executed via hanging, while the rest were allowed to go home and "follow some honest pursuit" as the Government had no means to house or feed 2,600 POWS. The Kuhistan rebellion would mark the end of the Saqqawists movement as what remained of it was either dead or in hiding acting as bandits in the Herat or Kuhdaman.[/sup]
[sup]Another smaller rebellion would take place earlier that year around February or May and was orchestrated by nonother than the Shinwari Tribe, the same tribe that had initiated the Afghan Civil War in 1929. The Shinwari claimed that they only rebelled originally because the earlier revolt was "not so much anti-Amanullah but against the local tax-collectors at Jalalabad". However, this Shinwari revolt was not supported by the elders and was mostly carried out by Shinwari youths. Nadir Shah would capitalize on this by bribing the elders into complacency, with no support from the elders this Shinwari revolt was easily put down by the Royal Army. Most of the fighting would mostly boil down into occasional ambushes and firefights that ended with the Royal Army putting them down 9 times out of 10. Despite this easy victory, Nadir Shah remained perplexed about these continual rebellions across the Kingdom. It was clear to him that Amanullah enjoyed support from some elements of Afghan society, no doubt in large part to his victory for Afghan Independence during the 3rd Anglo-Afghan War, despite the fact that Nadir Shah played an important role in that war as he was the one who led the Royal Army in most battles. Nadir Shah would embark on a political campaign of tarnishing the reputation of Amanullah by pushing propaganda narratives. The prominent of these was the claim that Amanullah was a coward who instead of fighting for his nation, choose to flee and take refugee in Italy while his subjects were brutalized by the Saqqawist bandits. Nadir would be pushed as the brave hero and defender of Afghan sovereignty.[/sup]

GRAND FEDERATION RAILWAY UPGRADE PLANNED FOR THE NATION
February 1932
In a bid to massively increase productivity among the three constituent regions of the Federation of Rhodesia & Nyasaland, the Federal Government in one of its first acts has voted to replace all of the national Railways (which was already shared between Northern & Southern Rhodesia but which now includes Nyasaland) Rolling Stock with newer types of steam engines capable of carrying larger loads at a quicker pace. Currently equipped mainly with the 1896 model of South African Class 7 4-8-0 Locomotives the Federal Government has set aside 12 million pounds sterling in order to upgrade the entire 13 strong National Railway System with South African Class 16DA 4-6-2 (1928 model) & South African Class 16B 4-6-2 (1917 model). Both locomotive models have almost double the pulling power of the existing Rhodesian model of 7 4-8-0 Locomotives and thus would without question increase throughput.
The current and historical Economic issue with the Federation has been the cost effective transportation of Goods to the South African Border, which would then continue on to the sea and finally the world market. Nyasaland as one example relies on a heavily peasant-based economy for its domestic consumption, however in order to maintain a positive budget (which all three constituent regions of the Federation have been able to do since at least 1920) it must export its coal mine produce. To do this it has thus far relied on a single lane train track utilized by two South African Class C 4-6-0T locomotives of the 1879 model. From now on however the Line shall be expanded by multiple bypasses in order to allow four more modern trains to run simultaneously and thus increase the output of Nyasaland Coal by an estimated three times its 1930 standard.
Rhodesia and Nyasaland stands to gain immeasurable economic advantage compared to its current situation by undertaking the change, and while it shall take on small amounts of short term debt to accomplish it, the output increases being calculated alone shall allow repayment within three years and economic surplus within five. The Governments plan, while not requiring approval from the British Parliament has nevertheless been provided to the British Imperial Government in London to prove economic soundness and thoroughly thought out implementation.

[ Rise of the Red-Shirts ]
[ Fall of 1930: Pretoria, Transvaal Republic ]
| The history of South Afrika is one full of warfare and conflict, this was never more evident than during the Great War when over 200,000 South Afrikans lost their lives fighting on the Eastern Front against the forces of Imperial Russia. Survivors of the war returned to a country that had devoted a lot of time and money into fighting a conflict that until 1917, had been thought to be a winnable one. Veterans were treated with almost a level of contempt by the parliamentary government, who were the ones that had sent them to war in the first place. The only place that soldiers found solace was to stay in the military or try and return to everyday life, which for many proved to be difficult beyond measure. The term Shell Shock had been coined by a British psychologist in 1915, and many veterans that returned home suffered from it. Despite the outcry from groups of veterans and protests in the streets of Pretoria, Cape Town and Johannesburg, the cries of those that fought for their nation fell on the deaf ears of most of the parliament. One particular soldier was Baron Joubert, a descendant of Piet Joubert, served in the 11th Boer Rifles Regiment on the eastern front and had survived the war with few injuries, barring scars from shrapnel. He had left his home of South Afrika in 1915 when the regiment had shipped out on cargo transport ships, he landed in Hamborg, Germany and his unit was sent forward to the eastern front. Since returning home, Baron has only seen more and more of his fellow veterans fall to poverty and not be able to find jobs, as many businesses wouldnt accept soldiers with shell shock or crippling injuries such as a loss of a limb. The word rage would be an understatement to how Baron felt towards the current ruling government, as the Department of the Transvaal Army was the only entity that could give veterans homes and lodging but the government slashed the military budget to save on spending. Such actions left the veterans and the DTA in a situation that was absolutely untenable, despite Baron having connections within the DTA and relatives of higher rank, he himself could do nothing about it. Neglect and outright expulsion of the rights that the veterans fought and died for was unacceptable, something that Baron has been making clear since 1923 but getting arrested in 1925 and again in 1927, only made his fervor and fire more potent rather than extinguishing it. Despite local authorities and other entities of the central government trying to keep him and others like him silent, the more they tried the more fuel was added to the fire. Recent news and the effect of the stock market crash in America only made things worse, as now it was not only veterans on hard times but the entire nation and the government did not seem to have solutions or plans for rebuilding anytime soon. |
| Pretorian Rifles Veterans Hall, Post 115: Pretoria, Transvaal Republic |
| The hall itself was a bustle of activity, various members of the organization itself sat at the various tables and benches. Many talk to fellow veterans of different units or even workers that come to the hall for a beer after work, even though many are given free beers so that they dont spend money that they cant afford to spend. Amongst the veterans were men wearing dark red shirts, they wore this with black pants that had a red stripe going down the seam and many of them were armed with service pistols or batons. Despite this, they talked freely and openly with those in the hall about things going on within their everyday lives and even about their families. Chatter slowly died down as a man wearing the same uniform as many of the others stepped out onto the small stage, which the hall used for announcements or other such things. The man was tall with dark hair and a full beard, he smiled at all those in attendance and bid many of them to sit down when they attempted to stand at attention. One man in a uniform walked up and offered him a beer, which he gladly took and raised it towards the crowd. Many reciprocate the gesture, after taking a good gulp of the beer he sets it down and out of the way so he doesnt knock it over. Clearing his throat he nods his head before beginning to speak, all in attendance listening intently. |
[list][ Baron Joubert: ] I am very glad to see you all out here on a night such as this, a night that will bring about a vast change in our nation. Many of you are here to hear me speak, but I ask that you not only listen to what I have to say but to take it to heart. Many of us, indeed most of us, fought in the Great War against the Russians and though we urged the world to help us in destroying the Bolshevik menace, our words fell on def ears. The ears of our government, the very same government that sent us to the war now wanted nothing to do with us! They saw us as outcasts, strains upon the society and burdens to the country we fought to uphold! No I say to you my friends, no! We are not the ones who sent our sons to die in Europe! We are not the ones who have rejected thousands and thousands of our own people due to mere politics! We have embraced those who fought alongside in the trenches and forests of the Russian Empire, yet they dare to tell us that we are deficient! They say to us all that you are not good, when we are the ones who built this nation!! The more he spoke the more animated he became, one fist clenched and waving to emphasize his message. All those in the crowd fed into his words, hearing what he said and believing him truly. I beg you my friends, I implore you! Stand for not only yourself but the nation we all bled for and our friends died for! For as long as we stand and we fight, Transvaal shall live and continue to march forward into a new era of prosperity and progress! Transvaal Sieg! Raising his hand into the air, the call echoed throughout the room. Many fully standing to their feet and raising their hands like spears, echoing his words. Even those who did not wear the same uniform as him echoed the call, making it clear they stood with him.

RASHID'S GRAND REFORMS
Campaign #1: Self-Sufficient Electrification
Up until now, The Iraqis had not any electricity in their homes, As they have depended on candles and torches for light and heat. This was all about to change as Rashid announced the forming of a the "Ministry of Energy", Which was tasked into researching, Developing and constructing power plants. As the country is rich in natural resources like oil, It has the ability to be self-sufficient in providing itself with power, With the possibility of even exporting it.
Construction Roadmap;
Mosul: 30 Power Plants
Baghdad: 50 Power Plants
Al-Hajarra: 10 Power Plants
Approx. Cost: Over $150,000,000
"As part of my duties as your president, I have made plans to already begin the construction of dozens of power plants throughout the nation. Every single home shall be powered for free. No more candles no more fires. This will also open many possibilities for electric mechanical engineering, We will begin importing agrarian machinery and foreign farming advisors. Mark my words, Baghdad will comeback to being how it was during the golden age of Islam!" - Rashid Ali

| With the Japanese occupation in 1910, all the palaces and assets of the Korean Royal Family were confiscated by Tokyo, which forced the Crown Prince to go into exile in another country, some members remained on the Peninsula, but the men were forced to join the Imperial Army. |
| THE PRINCE IMPERIAL YEONG, YI UN, CROWN PRINCE OF KOREA sought exile in the U.S. Paramountica. YI UN was just 14 years old when he was taken to America in 1911. |
| The Korean Royal Family resides in Koreatown, a typical Korean neighborhood located in Los Angeles, California. Today, what was once a powerful Royal Family is just part of the upper middle class in America, where CROWN PRINCE YI UN received a portion of the money long before the Japanese confiscated the Royal Familys assets.

[sup]The Rise of the Khana Ratsadon[/sup][/list]
| [sub]The Khana Ratsadon (Peoples Party) is Siams oldest political party, led by a small group of civilians and military figures; the party had long advocated for the transition into a western democracy. Thailands middle class had flourished over the last decade, demanding more rights and freedoms; those who cried the loudest were largely those educated abroad in European capitals[/sub] |
| [sub]The party had long been considered a threat to the monarchy by many, but with King Rama VII swiftly turning Siam towards reform, the Khana Ratsadon was now considered an ally to Siam and the monarchy. As Siam began its slow journey to democracy the King was increasingly corresponding in private with the leaders of the Peoples Party. The main figures are nicknamed the The Promoters who are largely western educated military officers.[/sub] |
| [sub]The announcement by the King that a new constitution would be put in place; that would see Siam transformed into a western style democracy caught the Khana Ratsadon by surprise. Some had given up hope that King Rama VII would ever implement a constitution with constant rumours about resistance from the Supreme Council; a coup was being plotted up until the day the announcement was made to implement their main ideals, now largely resolved by this surprise announcement.[/sub] |
| [sub]In a short statement published in Siams newspapers, Phraya Phahon the military leader of the party welcomed the announcement as did civilian leader Pridi Panomyong, stating they looked forward to working with others in a constitutional assembly to help shape a future Siam.[/sub] |

| Rains of red white and blue streamers pour on the crowds below whom hold platform and state planks on the convention floor. The press core takes notes, broadcasting by radio and newsreels capture for the screens later on. The Republican Party has chosen their Presidential candidate which shall lead them for the next four years in his new decade of the 1930s. The incumbent President, HERBERT HOOVER, has won the nomination with an astounding 98.5% of the delegate's vote. |
░▒ THE REPUBLICAN PREAMBLE
[list] . . . [sup]We, the representatives of the Republican Party, in convention assembled, renew our pledge to the principles and traditions of our party and dedicate it anew to the service of the nation . . . We meet in a period of widespread distress and of an economic depression that has swept the world. The emergency is second only to that of a great war. The human suffering occasioned may well exceed that of a period of actual conflict . . . The supremely important problem that challenges our citizens and government alike is to break the back of the depression, to restore the economic life of the nation and to bring encouragement and relief to the thousands of American families that are sorely afflicted . . . The people themselves, by their own courage, their own patient and resolute effort in the readjustments of their own affairs, can and will work out the cure. It is our task as a party, by leadership and a wise determination of policy, to assist that recovery . . . To that task we pledge all that our party possesses in capacity, leadership, resourcefulness and ability. Republicans, collectively and individually, in nation and State, hereby enlist in a war which will not end until the promise of American life is once more fulfilled . . . [/sup][/list]
SHORT SUMMARY OF SOME REPUBLICAN POLICIES FOR 32
[pre]Unemployment and Relief[/pre]
░▒ [sub]True to American traditions and principles of government, the administration has regarded the relief problem as one of State and local responsibility. The work of local agencies, public and private has been coordinated and enlarged on a nation-wide scale under the leadership of the President. Sudden and unforeseen emergencies such as the drought have been met by the Red Cross and the Government. The United States Public Health Service has been of inestimable benefit to stricken areas. There has been magnificent response and action to relieve distress by citizens, organizations and agencies, public and private throughout the country.[/sub]
[pre]Public Economy[/pre]
░▒ [sub]Constructive plans for financial stabilization cannot be completely organized until our national, State and municipal governments not only balance their budgets but curtail their current expenses as well to a level which can be steadily and economically maintained for some years to come. We urge prompt and drastic reduction of public expenditure and resistance to every appropriation not demonstrably necessary to the performance of government, national or local. The Republican Party established and will continue to uphold the gold standard and will oppose any measure which will undermine the government's credit or impair the integrity of our national currency. Relief by currency inflation is unsound in principle and dishonest in results. The dollar is impregnable in the marts of the world today and must remain so. An ailing body cannot be cured by quack remedies. This is no time to experiment upon the body politic or financial.[/sub]
[pre]Banks and the Banking System[/pre]
░▒ [sub]The efficient functioning of our economic machinery depends in no small measure on the aid rendered to trade and industry by our banking system. There is need of revising the banking laws so as to place our banking structure on a sounder basis generally for all concerned, and for the better protection of the depositing public there should be more stringent supervision and broader powers vested in the supervising authorities. We advocate such a revision. One of the serious problems affecting our banking system has arisen from the practice of organizing separate corporations by the same interests as banks, but participating in operations which the banks themselves are not permitted legally to undertake. We favor requiring reports of and subjecting to thorough and periodic examination all such affiliates of member banks until adequate information has been acquired on the basis of which this problem may definitely be solved in a permanent manner.[/sub]
[pre]The Tariff[/pre]
░▒ [sub]The Republican Party has always been the staunch supporter of the Paramerican system of a protective tariff. It believes that the home market, built up under that policy, the greatest and richest market in the world, belongs first to Paramerican agriculture, industry and labor. No pretext can justify the surrender of that market to such competition as would destroy our farms, mines and factories, and lower the standard of living which we have established for our workers. Because many foreign countries have recently abandoned the gold standard, as a result of which the costs of many commodities produced in such countries have, at least for the time being, fallen materially in terms of Paramerican currency, adequate tariff protection is today particularly essential to the welfare of the American people.[/sub]
[pre]Conservation[/pre]
░▒ [sub]The wise use of all natural resources freed from monopolistic control is a Republican policy, initiated by Theodore Roosevelt. The Roosevelt, Coolidge and Hoover reclamation projects bear witness to the continuation of that policy. Forestry and all other conservation activities have been supported and enlarged. The conservation of oil is a major problem to the industry and the nation. The administration has sought to bring coordination of effort through the States, the producers and the Federal Government. Progress has been made and the effort will continue.[/sub]
[pre]Foreign Affairs[/pre]
░▒ [sub]Our relations with foreign nations have been carried on by President Hoover with consistency and firmness, but with mutual understanding and peace with all nations. The world has been overwhelmed with economic strain which has provoked extreme nationalism in every quarter, has overturned many governments, stirred the springs of suspicion and distrust and tried the spirit of international cooperation, but we have held to our own course steadily and successfully. The party will continue to maintain its attitude of protecting our national interests and policies wherever threatened but at the same time promoting common understanding of the varying needs and aspirations of other nations and going forward in harmony with other peoples without alliances or foreign partnerships. The facilitation of world intercourse, the freeing of commerce from unnecessary impediments, the settlement of international difficulties by conciliation and the methods of law and the elimination of war as a resort of national policy have been and will be our party program.[/sub]
[pre]International Conference[/pre]
░▒ [sub]We favor the participation by the United States in an international conference to consider matters relating to monetary questions, including the position of silver, exchange problems, and commodity prices, and possible co-operative action concerning them.[/sub]
[pre]Our Emancipated Friend[/pre]
░▒ [sub]For seventy years the Republican Party has been the friend of the African-American. Vindication of the rights of our fellow Black citizens to enjoy the full benefits of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness is traditional in the Republican Party, and our party stands pledged to maintain equal opportunity and rights for African-American
citizens. We do not propose to depart from that tradition nor to alter the spirit or letter of that pledge.[/sub]
[pre]National Defence[/pre]
░▒ [sub]Armaments are relative and, therefore, flexible and subject to changes as necessity demands. We believe that in time of war every material resource in the nation should bear its proportionate share of the burdens occasioned by the public need and that it is a duty of government to perfect plans in time of peace whereby this objective may be attained in war. We support the essential principles of the National Defense Act as amended in 1920 and by the Air Corps Act of 1926, and believe that the army of the United States has, through successive reductions accomplished in the last twelve years, reached an irreducible minimum consistent with the self-reliance, self-respect and security of this country.[/sub]

[list][sup]1. To maintain unimpaired the national credit.
2. To defend and preserve a sound currency and an honest dollar.
3. To stand steadfastly by the principle of a balanced budget.
4. To devote ourselves fearlessly and unremittingly to the task of eliminating abuses and extravagance and of drastically cutting the cost of government so as to reduce the heavy burden of taxation.
5. To use all available means consistent with sound financial and economic principles to promote an expansion of credit to stimulate business and relieve unemployment.
6. To make a thorough study of the conditions which permitted the credit and the credit machinery of the country to be made available, with out adequate check, for wholesale speculation in securities, resulting in ruinous consequences to millions of our citizens and to the national economy, and to correct those conditions so that they shall not recur.[/sup][/list]
| Recognizing that real relief to unemployment must come through a revival of industrial activity and agriculture, to the promotion of which our every effort must be directed, our party in State and nation undertakes to do all in its power that is humanly possible to see that distress is fully relieved in accordance with Paramerican principles and traditions. No successful solution of the problems before the country today can be expected from a Congress and a President separated by partisan lines or opposed in purposes and principles. Responsibility cannot be placed unless a clear mandate is given by returning to Washington a Congress and a Chief Executive united in principles and program The return to power of the Republican Party with that mandate is the duty of every voter who believes in the doctrines of the party and its program as herein stated. Nothing else, we believe, will insure the orderly recovery of the country and that return to prosperous days which every Paramerican so ardently desires. The Republican Party faces the future unafraid! With courage and confidence in ultimate success, we will strive against the forces that strike at our social and economic ideals, our political institutions. |

FEDERAL ARMY DRIVE TO BRING THE RHODESIAN-NYASALAND FEDERATION TO "INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS"
Junde 1932
The Rhodesian-Nyasaland Military Commission, responsible for bringing the Federal Army up to scratch and maintaining it at a size capable of the reasonable defense of the Colony's Borders and national integrity. Costs of the drive are to be calculated on an active basis, with specification that it not surpass 220,000 Pounds Sterling (1932) on an annual basis.
As it currently stands the Federal Armed Forces fields 14,500 Regular Personnel in the following services :
- The Rhodesian Army consists of 1,500 white South Rhodesians and a further 300 Auxiliary Black South Rhodesians employed in mainly logistical and support roles. All Officers of the Rhodesian Army are white by design and rule as whites are the only ethnicity within Southern Rhodesia beholden to conscription or national service, with Black Soldiers being volunteers by nature. As a result of black recruitment being entirely volunteer-based being granted a generous wage of 50% their white counterparts which is almost double the standard national ratio.
Average Annual income for white Soldiers (Private-level) consists of 6 pounds sterling or 10 shillings per month, considerably higher than the average British Army income of around 6 shillings per month. Adding to this the vastly reduced goods prices within the Federation the income is a great boon and is considered a large bonus for service. The main reason for this large discrepancy compared to the British Army is that Rhodesia has actively worked to bring more white Britons from the motherland into the country, and offering almost double that of a British serviceman for serving and then staying in the colony is a very successful tactic that has brought in a steady stream of mainlanders. With Black Servicemen within the Colony earning 5 shillings on a monthly basis they too earn more than the national average and as a result can provide a much better life for their families and tribes. The small size of the Rhodesian Army after the great war as a result caused the position of a black volunteer be seen as a coveted one among locals.
- The Rhodesian Air Force consisting of 400 is entirely white from the lowest to highest ranking serviceman, though there has been discussion in recent years to open up the service to black volunteers on a similar basis to that of the Army. While not possessing a large number of Aircraft the Air Force is required to field a large number of support staff due to a lack of domestic replacement parts and infrastructure. This has overall increased repair and maintenance times at the benefit of lower rates of loss due to part failures. Aircraft within the Rhodesian Air Force are treated like gold, as it has been considered unlikely that if they do in fact lose one of their aircraft they will receive a replacement in a timely manner. The last Aircraft loss in 1928 resulted in a 13 month wait time for a replacement shipped from Britain.
- The British South Africa Police is the sole service actively seeking black recruits for its ranks due to its operational police nature. Consisting of 12,600 personnel it is the largest wing of the Armed Forces, itself being a wing due to the fact that by requirement all Officers are required to complete Military training as part of their police training. This is both a cost saving mechanism but also a historical left-over where Police Outposts of perhaps 20-40 Officers in rural areas were expected to "fly the flag" over a vast amount of territory and if necessary face rural unrest or uprisings. Despite making up 8,150 of the employed personnel Black Officers are unable to achieve many of the higher ranks and even have their own unique ranking system separate from the whites. The black system, coined Mapolisa consists of Constables, Sergeants, Senior Sergeants, Sergeant Majors, and Sub Inspectors. The White system, coined Majoni consists of Patrol Officers, Senior patrol officers, Section Officers, Inspector, Chief Inspector and other commissioned ranks in line with the British police ranking structure.
Black officers would engage in operational police work worked alongside their white colleagues on investigations and patrols, necessarily acting as interpreters with the indigenous population, as well as patrolling alone and conducting their own crime investigations or as otherwise directed. Black "ground coverage" officers acted as undercover plain clothes intelligence gatherers in both rural and urban areas.
Under the Federal Governments Governments Army Drive Program to increase the capabilities of the Federal Armed Forces, the following service changes are being planned to be put into action between the date of signing and 1934 :
- The Rhodesian Army shall be expanded by quota to 5,400 (a three-fold increase), with 4,000 of those positions reserved for whites and 1,400 reserved for black volunteers. This represents a wage-based increase of 21,600 pounds on the yearly budget. Further, the Army shall seek to acquire 40 Mark II Vickers Light Dragon field artillery tractors (prelude to the universal carrier) from the motherland (Great Britain Gb) for usage as fast moving mechanized transport through the Rhodesian wilderness in order to research and test the feasibility of a mechanized response force. Ultimately the 5,400 Personnel shall be arranged into 6 Regiments (650 each) of Combat Troops with the remainder being support/logistical troops.
- The Rhodesian Air Force shall be expanded to 480 men in total, with plans to acquire a further 12 Bristol Bulldog Fighters to bring the total number of Bulldogs to 24. The wage-based increase for the Air force is thus a mere 800 pounds. No other plans for expanding the Air Force have been made beyond private contracts with multiple firms for the acquisition of unarmed transport aircraft.
- The British South Africa Police will be expanded to consist of 38,000 personnel in a quota system whereby 18,000 of the total number shall be reserved for Black officers. To accomplish this goal the rapid integration of the Northern Rhodesian Police and Nyasaland Constabulary which will cover around 80% of the required increase.

FRANKFURTER ZEITUNG - JUNE 1932 - ISSUE°1
EXIT POLLS SHOW STRONG CENTRE, SPD CHANCE OF VICTORY IN JUNE ELECTIONS, BUT VOLKISTS LOOM IN THE BACKGROUND
BERLIN - Exit polls held yesterday ahead of tomorrow's June federal elections are showing a strong Centre and SPD chance of seizing yet another coalition majority in the Reichstag, as well as securing the chancellery and the presidency. President Paul von Hindenburg and his running mate, Interim Chancellor Olaf Strausmann, both lead in their respective exit polls by twelve and six points respectively, with the SPD candidates pulling up third, the Volkists in fourth, and the Communists in far fifth. With Election Day now mere hours away, however, some are worried that the Volkists could make a strong showing, possibly forcing the SPD and the Centre Party into coalition negotiations with the far-right ultranationalist party. Polling only a point behind the SPD, the possibility of such a scenario is real.
PRESIDENT HINDENBURG VOWS TO FORM 'ECONOMY-FOCUSED' GOVERNMENT IF HE SECURES RE-ELECTION
BERLIN - In a Centre campaign rally in Berlin, President Paul von Hindenburg yesterday vowed to the German people to form an 'economy-focused' government if he secures re-election as Germany's head of state. Hindenburg, the veteran war general and elder German statesman, has seen relatively favorable poll ratings compared to his former government ally and former chancellor Heinrich Bruning, who was forced out of office months before tomorrow's federal election. President Hindenburg pledged to focus on revitalizing the economy and opening up trade with Britain, France and Poland, stressing the important need to resume trade en masse to assist in the nation's recovery from the so-called 'Great Depression'.
Following his pledge, Hindenburg is pulling six points ahead of SPD presidential candidate Otto Wels and is widely expected to secure another term as Weimar Germany's president and head of state.

FRANKFURTER ZEITUNG - JUNE 1932 - ISSUE°2
HINDENBURG AND STRAUSMANN WIN RE-ELECTION, BUT CENTRE AND SDP NOW FORCED TO NEGOTIATE WITH VOLKISTS FOR COALITION AFTER RESOUNDING REICHSTAG DEFEAT
BERLIN - In a massive election upset, perhaps the largest in decades, Centre Party candidates Paul von Hindenburg and Olaf Strausmann secured the presidency and chancellorship respectively with 59.2% and 42.1% of the popular vote. President Hindenburg outpolled the runner-up candidate, SPD candidate Otto Wels, by 11.9%, while Olaf Strausmann polled 3.2% higher than the runner-up for the chancellery race, Volk leader Adolph Heidler. However, although the presidency and the chancellorship are firmly in the hands of the Centre Party, the senior coalition partner in the Centre-SPD government coalition, these two parties will now, in fact, be forced into negotiations with the Volkist Party in order to secure a governing majority in the Reichstag following what many are calling the most resounding Reichstag defeat for the Centre Party and the SPD in years.
Official certified election results show 119 seats for the Centre Party, 135 seats for the SPD, 303 for the Volkist Party, 39 for the German Communist Party, and 4 for the German National People's Party (DNVP). This means that the Centre-SPD coalition will possess 300 seats in the Reichstag, or exactly half. Forming a coalition with the Communists, the more moderate option, would still leave the coalition seven seats short of a governing majority, and the DNVP, which would theoretically complete a Centre-SPD-Communist-DNVP majority coalition, has refused to join up with Centre or the SPD.
ADOLPH HEIDLER, VOLKISTS PROTEST CHANCELLERY ELECTION RESULTS, DEMANDS RECOUNT IN CONTESTED REGIONS
BERLIN - In a passionate speech before an audience of Volk Party members at the right-wing party's new headquarters in Berlin, party head Adolph Heidler vehemently protested and condemned the results for the chancellorship election, which secured incumbent Olaf Strausmann re-election, pulling 3.2% more than Heidler. The right-wing ultranationalist demanded a recount in contested regions, in northern Bavaria and eastern Germany in particular, stating that 'the true results of this election must be exposed, and the corrupt actions of the Centre Party nullified'. The Centre Party has yet to comment formally on Heidler's demands, but rumors of the possibility of agreeing to a recount are circulating, mainly due to the fact that the Centre-SPD coalition will need the Volkists' support to govern with a majority.

GUBERNATORIAL EXECUTIVE MANISON
[sub]ALBANY, NEW YORK, [nation]Paramountica[/nation] EVENING[/sub]
| In the New York state Executive Mansion at Albany, a great armchair beside a radio in the households grand study held the Governor of New York for most of last week Through the quiet study boomed the static radio sounds of the Democratic convention in Chicago. FRANKLIN DELANO ROOSEVELT, in a fine tailored navy blue suit and yellow bowtie, his lame legs stretched out before him, without a current care of his official duties, learned back and listened with glee . . . At the feet of the governor was his Scotch terrier, Megs. At the doorframe hovered his wife, Eleanor, his daughter Anna, listening in as well. His sons Elliott and John, paced about in nervous excitement. His 77-year-old mother knitted in silence. Governor Roosevelt had little to none to say during the early stages of the Democratic National Convention to the Press . . . All of his talking was done long distance by the telephone to James Farley, convention manager. Earlier in the week, the question answered every newsman wanted to know was: Would Governor Roosevelt, if nominated, fly out to Chicago to address the delegations? To this, Governor ROOSEVELT, as the cheerful man that he is well known about, concealed his convention plans with happy banter. |

| The newsmen naturally got a good laugh out of this. Now going back to the radio, Governor ROOSEVELT sat entranced as he listened to JOHN E. MACK of Poughkeepsie, N.Y. recommend him in for the nomination. Due to the demonstration, Governor ROOSEVELT (FDR) scribed off a telegram on his studys stationery paper: |
[list][list][list][list][list][pre]WESTERN UNION TELEGRAPH [U.S. Postal][/pre][/list][/list][/list][/list][/list]
[list][pre]Mr. John E. Mack,
My affectionate thanks to you, my old friend, for that fine speech. No matter what the result today, you and I always go on together.
Franklin D. Roosevelt,
Governor of New York.[/pre][/list]
| Governor ROOSEVELT followed the night intently by air. The long session ended in three deadlock ballots. When voting started after daybreak he took out a sheet of paper and kept tally on his knee. When the third vote wasnt able to produce a nominee, he wrote an enraged telegram to the Chicago floor. |

[list][pre]Roosevelt Democratic Nomination Campaign,
I am in this fight to stay, This is a battle for principle, It is being waged to keep our party as a whole free from dictation by a small group representing the interests in the nation which have no place in our party, Stick to your guns, The nation must not and shall not be overridden . . . We intend to stand fast and win.
Franklin D. Roosevelt,
Governor of New York.[/pre][/list]
| From then, FDR sat down at his radio that evening at at 9:30 P.M., he was certain he was nominated. His manager, Mr. Farley reported that the Californian and Texan delegations had swung over to ROOSEVELT, in return, the Vice Presidential nomination would be granted to the House speaker, Mr. GARNER. With that, across the Albany executive mansion, joy prevailed as the convention roll call started and WILLIAM GIBBS McADOO announced the California and Texas delegations switch, which thus allowed FDR to truly clinch the nomination. |
| When the result was announced, Nominee ROOSEVELT, his long face crinkled up in smiles, hobbled out to the ballroom to greet the Press. Mrs. ROOSEVELT, pinning up the long sleeves of her green chiffon dress, went into the kitchen to cook eggs and frankfurters for "the boys." That being the PRESS CORE. By the radio, the radio was booming back to Chicago the nominees message to the convention: |
[list]| [sub]FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT, Governor & Nominee[/sub] [sup](BY RADIO)[/sup] | I thank you It is customary to hold formal notification ceremonies some weeks after the convention. This involves great expense. Instead may I ask the convention to remain in session tomorrow that I may appear before you and be notified at that time?[/list]
AIRPORT, ALBANY, NEW YORK, [nation=short]Paramountica[/nation] EVENING
| The Convention agreed to FDRs request. Bright and early the next morning, Nominee ROOSEVELT arrived at the Albany Airport where a trimotored airplane awaited to take him and ten relatives, friends and campaign aides to Chicago. Sporting on a light tan suit, a light blue tie, fedora and polished black shoes, FDR, holding onto his cain, waved to the onlookers as he was lifted into the cabin by his aides, with a smile. |

| Ten thousand people waited to greet Nominee ROOSEVELT at the Airport of an oldtime Capone stronghold in Cicero, Illinois. JAMES ROOSEVELT, 23, FRANKLIN Jr., 17. Mrs. CURTIS DALL, 23 all of whom had witnessed the convention long before FDR arrived, fought their way to their father's side to greet them. Among the large crowd of people, in the crush of all of it, FDRs glasses were knocked from his nose. As FDR sighted the buildings for next year's World Fair he promised Mayor CERMAK to officiate as President of the U. S. at the opening ceremony. |
| Democratic Party Traditions & Promises. Helped up to the convention platform, the nominee, FDR, in a dark grey suit with red rose in lapel, sat quietly by while Democratic Party Chairman WALSH "notified" him of his nomination. When his turn came to speak, he rested his weight on his hands on the rostrum, delivered an address which he put together on the flight from Albany. Waving to the convention hall as the jubilant big band dies down as he begins his speech. |
[list]| [sub]FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT, Democratic Nominee[/sub] | . . . . My appearance before the convention is unprecedented and unusual but these are unprecedented and unusual times. We will break foolish traditions and leave it to the Republican leadership to break promises. . . . Ours must be a party of liberal thought, of planned action, of enlightened international outlook and of the greatest good to the greatest number!
"It will not do merely to state, as do Republican leaders, that the Depression is worldwide. That was not their explanation of the apparent prosperity of 1928. If they claim paternity for one, they cannot deny paternity for the other. . . . For ten years we expanded far beyond our natural and normal growth. . . . Corporate profit was enormous. . . . The consumer was forgotten . . . the worker was forgotten . . . the stockholder was forgotten.

"Just a word on taxes. Government costs too much. We must abolish useless offices, merge . . . consolidate . . . give up. . . . I propose that government of all kinds be made solvent and that the example be set by the President and his Cabinet. . . .

| To this, the Democratic Convention was overjoyed, certain that they shall win come November.

Overfilled with enthusiasm, Nominee ROOSEVELT declared: |
[list] [sub]FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT, Democratic Nominee[/sub] | The whole idea of flying here was to bring forward the idea of getting the campaign started. August is usually the month to get stirring. But I believe some votes can be made in July. The new national committee is organizing and we start the campaign at ten o'clock tonight![/list]
| To this was met with applause as well, and laugher of support. The first of the defeated candidates for the nomination to congratulate Nominee ROOSEVELT was, of course, Speaker GARNER who wired: |
[list][list][list][list][list][pre]WESTERN UNION TELEGRAPH [U.S. Postal][/pre][/list][/list][/list][/list][/list]
[list][pre]Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt,
Your nomination means your election!
John Nance Garner,
Speaker of the House.[/pre][/list]
| As the night went on, the most startling interesting felicitation came from insurgent Republican Senator HIRAM JOHNSON of California, obviously no friend to President HERBERT HOOVER. Although he was "thrilled" by ROOSEVELTs plane ride to the Convention floor, admired his acceptance speech, but didnt go so far as to say he would support the Roosevelt candidacy Neither did former New York Governor and 1928 Democratic presidential nominee AL SMITH, who had "no comment" to make. |[/list]

FRANKFURTER ZEITUNG - JULY 1932 - ISSUE°1
ECONOMY CONTINUES TO COLLAPSE INTO FREEFALL AS HINDENBURG, CENTRE-SDP COALITION FAIL TO FORM GOVERNMENT WITH THE VOLKISTS
BERLIN - Recent economic reports by the Ministerium für Wirtschaft und Finanzen (Ministry for Economy and Finance) of the German Government reveals 'sustained economic freefall', ie. the economy continues to fall at ever-increasing speeds. Unemployment rates have risen from 6.1 million people in January to 9.7 people now, while inflation continues to skyrocket and the German mark continues to devalue. The German government has been scrambling to save the economy, according to inside sources, but President-elect Paul von Hindenburg and Chancellor-elect Olaf Strausmann and their Centre-SPD coalition are failing to form a government with the Volk Party as negotiations stall.
According to a statement by President Hindenburg via radio on 3 July, 'the Volk Party are requesting compromises that violate the integrity of our democracy and of our obligations to the Versailles Treaty'. A leak by an anonymous Strausmann staffer indicates that Volkist leader Adolph Heidler has made a pledge to remilitarize the Weimar Republic a requirement for the Volks to form a governing coalition with Hindenburg and Strausmann's Centre Party and Wels' SPD (Social Democrats).
FEDERAL RETURNING OFFICER (BUNDESWAHLEITER) IN CHARGE OF BALLOT COUNTING TO CONSIDER RECOUNTS
BERLIN - The Office of the Federal Returning Officer (Bundeswahlleiter), the office in charge of overseeing ballot counting and a subordinate section of the Innenministerium (Ministry of the Interior), has released a public statement confirming what sources have been hinting at for weeks: Recounts of votes in 'heavily contested' areas, particularly in eastern Germany, Berlin, and northern Bavaria, are now being officially considered by the German government. The announcement comes after weeks of refusals by the Centre-SPD coalition to even consider recounting the vote, as requested by second-placer chancellery candidate Adolph Heidler and his Volk Party.
The new Reichstag is expected to assemble later this month to vote on whether or not a recount should take place. Considering the now-formidable strength and influence of the right-wing Volk Party in the new Reichstag, coupled with public doubts over the strength of the Centre-SPD coalition, such recounts are likely according to top political experts.

[For millennia, The Iraqi people had to rely on foot or horse/camel travel in order to reach their homes or workplaces. Even during the British mandate, The British trains were only allowed for British military use. The newly formed ministry of infrastructure has been tasked with the upgrading of the existing railway and constructing a railway that extends from Baghdad to Basra and Mosul, Connecting the biggest and most populated cities in Iraq and allowing the supply of oil between them. This is to be realized by partnership with Norway, Through hiring Norwegian engineers and purchasing trains in exchange of oil. This is to be reinforced with constructing new roadways.]

[sub]ALBANIAN NEWS: ZOG'S GRAND REFORMS[/sub]
Campaign #1: Increase international relations
[sub]Its been four years since his Majesty Zog was crowned as King of the Albanians, and now hes planning to bring Albania into the wider international world. King Zog has sent letters to many western nations such as France, the UK, Greece, Yugoslavia, and the USA, wishing to establish good relations and guarantee and have them to guarantee Albanias independence. King Zog also sent letters to Italy asking them to continue to ensure the independence of Albania and to create a new treaty that would benefit both Italy and Albania. He also sent letters to many Muslim nations such as Iraq, Turkey, and Egypt (whose ruling dynasty had Albanian origins) to establish friendly relations.[/sub]
Campaign #2: Increase the Kingdom defences and the nationalization of the military
[sub]Even though Albania is increasing friendly relations with other nations, never less didnt forget that the Central Powers invaded them during the last great war. Due to this terrible event, King Zog ordered the creation of many bunkers throughout the Kingdom if their enemies would overrun Albania. The plan is to first create many bunkers on the western side of Albania in case of a naval invasion, then build many bunkers on the eastern side of Albania in case of a land invasion. King Zog decided that it was time to nationalize the Royal Albanian Armed forces by replacing any generals who were not Albanian and replacing them with those who were Albanian. Although King Zog will still keep some British and Italians as military advisers and help continue to train the Albanian military in modern warfare.[/sub]
Campaign #3: Reforms educations and modernizes infrastructures
[sub]King Zog decided to reform the kingdoms educational systems by inducing a program that would help low-income families have their kids enter schools to learn and hope to establish a better future for themselves and Albania. He will also model the educational systems after Great Britain and the United States. Even though many cities of Albania are modern, the countryside is still rural. So King Zog ordered new roads to be created to connect many places to major cities to make traveling easier and faster.[/sub]
P.S. This is Persiaa, I was approved to have a second account and play as Albania. So, telegram me to my Iranian account to talk about Albania RPs and stuff. Thanks.

CENTRE-SPD COALITION DECIDES TO GOVERN WITH MINORITY RATHER THAN 'SUCCUMB TO VOLKIST RADICALISM'
BERLIN - In an announcement following the first assembly of the new Reichstag, which possesses the first-ever Volkist majority, the Centre-SPD coalition which holds the executive and judicial branches of the German government formally announced its decision to end all coalition talks with the far-right Volk Party and instead govern with minority. To govern with a minority, President-elect Paul von Hindenburg of the Centre Party stated, would be more acceptable than to succumb to Volkist radicalism. An overwhelming 89.2% of Centre and SPD voters, as well as 92% of all Centre and SPD MPs in the new Reichstag, stand behind the coalition's decision.
While the announcement certainly calms the more leftist elements of both parties, the SPD in particular, for President Paul von Hindenburg and his right-hand man, Chancellor Olaf Strausmann, to govern without a majority would be extremely dangerous and risky. The Centre-SPD coalition barely stood partially victorious during the election thanks to their string of promises to revitalize the German economy and establish friendly trade and diplomatic relations with Germany's neighbors, while the majority Volk Party opposes many of those promises. With a majority, the Volkists could easily block the Centre-SPD agenda in the Reichstag, but President Hindenburg and Chancellor Strausmann can almost certainly do the same to the Volkist agenda.
REICHSTAG VOTES 301-299 AGAINST VOTE RECOUNT FOR THE CHANCELLERY RACE, OFFICIALIZING OLAF STRAUSMANN'S VICTORY
BERLIN - In a shocking, unprecedented upset, and with the support of dissident and moderate Volkist MPs, the German Reichstag has voted 301-299 - a bare majority - against recounting the votes for the chancellery race in heavily contested areas, depriving Volk Party leader Adolph Heidler of the chancellorship and officializing Centre candidate Olaf Strausmann's victory. Two Volk Party MPs, both of which are veteran members of the Reichstag and long-time representatives of the Volk Party in Germany's parliament, had voted against the Volkists to prevent a recount. The two MPs, whose identities have been kept secret by the German Government to prevent unnecessary backlash against them, are now allegedly in hiding after Heidler denounced them and threatened to eject them from the party 'and from the face of the earth'.
With the conclusion of the vote, the Reichstag officially swore in Olaf Strausmann of the Centre Party as Weimar Germany's new Chancellor, under President Paul von Hindenburg, who was sworn in five days ago. The Centre-SPD minority coalition, which has decided to govern with minority rather than compromise to the Volkists' radical demands, has made it clear their intention to begin Germany on the path to economic recovery as soon as possible.

VOLK PARTY CONSOLIDATES LOYALTY AMONG ITS MPS AS STRAUSMANN GOVERNMENT MOVES TO PASS EMERGENCY ECONOMIC LEGISLATION
BERLIN- The right-wing ultranationalist Volk Party of Germany, led by the infamous Adolph Heidler, has in recent days been moving to consolidate loyalty among its Reichstag MPs as the new Strausmann government under Chancellor Olaf Strausmann moves to pass emergency economic legislation packages, which include steep tax cuts for those affected, the circulation of food stamps for the emergency distribution of basic foods for free, and the decreasing of bond prices and the increasing of interest rates. The Volkists, who currently hold a bare majority in the Reichstag, intend to block the passage of the government's emergency economic legislation by ensuring that party MPs remain in line and don't vote against their mother party.
In a speech to the Volkist National Congress, an assembly of over 85,000 Volk party members, MPs and other top officials, party leader Adolph Heidler pressured his party MPs in the new Reichstag to remain loyal to the party line 'at all cost necessary and for the benefit of the German race'.
HINDENBURG, STRAUSMANN EMERGENCY DECREES ALLEVIATING ECONOMIC FREEFALL SLOWLY, EXPERTS SAY
BERLIN- At a conference of economists and financiers in Berlin, top economic experts and representatives from the Ministerium für Wirtschaft und Finanzen (Ministry for Economy and Finance) stated that the flurry of emergency decrees signed by President Paul von Hindenburg and Chancellor Olaf Strausmann are assisting in alleviating the economic collapse and freefall plaguing Germany 'slowly but surely', in a shocking announcement yesterday. Hindenburg and Strausmann ran and won re-election on a platform of revitalizing the German economy and reversing the highly controversial and widely detested decrees approved by former chancellor Heinrich Bruning. Not many Germans were expecting good effects so soon after the federal election last June, but it is certainly welcome news.
According to a prediction by a top Economy and Finance Ministry official, unemployment will go down by 10% over the next two years, by 40% over the next five years, and will return to pre-Depression levels within six to seven years. The skyrocketing rate of inflation is also rising 2.2% slower than before, but continues to scream skyward at high speed.

RESIDENCE OF MADAM PAT [sup]Its a pleasant noonday in the royal capital of Phnom Penh, Cambodia, children roam the streets playing without a care in the world. The city market is brewing with movement as the city slickers gather to purchase their daily necessities; rice, pork, fish, vegetables, anything really. Cambodia was seeing a continuous string of yearly good harvests which benefited everyone including the French Administration. Fernand Marie Joseph Antoine Lavit, Resident-Superior of Cambodia, wrote reports to the Indochinese administrative capital of the continual advancement of various French projects in Cambodia. The most important being the construction of infrastructure and public works; most notable being the reconstruction of Angkor Wat which was a project Antoine was very invested in personally. Angkor Wat was rebuilt and displayed in the 1931 Paris Colonial Exposition, a six-month colonial exhibition held in Paris, that attempted to display the diverse cultures and immense resources of France's colonial possessions. But for all the French self fluctuation, the Cambodians themselves did not fancy this exhibitionism of their proud Khmer culture. For one particular grandmother, this was an outright humiliation and she made sure to let her grandson, the Prince of Cambodia; Norodom Sihanouk, know just how tragic this was to the Khmer nation. Prince Sihanouk was the only child born of the union between Norodom Suramarit and Sisowath Kossamak. His parents, who heeded the Royal Court Astrologer's advice that he risked dying at a young age if he was raised under parental care, placed him under the care of Kossamak's grandmother, Pat. His grandmother was a woman of great virtue, wisdom, and anger as she loved to rant to Sihanouk of the great tragedy that has befallen the Khmer race with the advent of French colonialism. Her hate did not stop for France, she made sure to tell her grandson of the evil Vietnamese, Thai, and Chinese who stole not only land from the Khmers but jobs. The French for reasons only known to them had a policy of not letting Cambodians take part in high-level positions that did not involve the Royal family. Many Vietnamese were recruited to work on rubber plantations and later immigrants played key roles in the colonial economy as fishermen and businessmen. Chinese Cambodians continued to be largely involved in commerce but higher positions were given to the French. Madam Pat would let her grandson know of the evils of minorities on a daily basis.[/sup]

Grand Plans For Railway Infrastructure
HARTRIDGE (Nairobi)- The Government of British Federation of East Africa has announced new plans to connect the country via Railways. The unfinished Cape to Cairo Railroad is a major point of business. Only portions of the Cape to Cairo Railroad were completed in East Africa. The government has authorized the construction to complete the railroad within our borders.
Ports and industrial centers inland are connected by a few railways. The plan is to overhaul the existing rail network and build new connections to smaller cities and towns. The government stated the massive overhaul must be done.
The automobile industry has begun encouraging the expansion of the national road network and upgrading ports and harbors. The plan calls for the expansion of paved roads, expansion of the electricity network, and expanding existing ports.

SUDAN EXPANDS RAIL TRACK TRANSPORTATION
Since the first railroad tracks of the Sudan had been laid down by British authorities in the last 20 years of British rule, the new colonial administration of the Sudan Colony has started campaigning to extend those tracks into more parts of the Imperial realm of East Africa hoping that it would provide the infrastructure needed to further integrate the colony and its citizens.
The Imperial government had, after a long period of planning, officially approved the plans of extending the Sudan rail network to provide further and easier access to the Sudanese south as well as primarily refocusing British ambitions of connecting its imperial holdings in the African continent by rail in a plan known as the. Cape to Cairo project connecting the northern and southern tips of British Africa.
THE OLD TRACKS
The old tracks that the British have built in Sudan, obviously using Sudanese labour, have been primarily placed in servicing the north.
The tracks started at two entry points into the colony, the primary one starts at the coast inside the Colonys largest sea port, Port Sudan, or as the locals call it, Bor Sudan. The tracks start a the port hub of the city before branching out into two other tracks, the other travels further down the coast to Saukin while the other cuts through the coastal mountain range to the east before branching into two other tracks, one headed to the industrial city of Atbarah and the other Kassala which is up the river from Atbarah. And from Kassala the tracks travel south to the original capital of the Sudan before the arrival of the Ottomans, Sennar, where the tracks end.
The second entry point is at Wadi Halfa in the North where the tracks continue their journey over from Egypt and enter into Sudan. The tracks would cut south through the Nubian desert at the junction of Abu Hamad before splitting into two branches. The first branch heads west towards the Nubian Pyramids in Karima and the second continues its journey running adjacent to the Nile before connecting at Atbarah with the other line from Port Sudan. There the tracks would head towards its goal location, the capital, Khartoum. From there the tracks continue where it shall reconnect with the other line from Kassla in Sennar just before it travels west across the Gezira farmlands to Kosti. And from there the tracks mark their final destination in El-Obied, capital of the Kordofan province.
THE NEW TRACKS
The new plans for the track extensions will greatly expand the range of transportation in Sudan, taking a journey from Khartoum to Juba from being 4 days to less than a day.
The new tracks will pick up from three locations. El Obied in Kordofan, Kosti in the White Nile, and to a junction south of Sennar in the Blue Nile. The Sennar track extension would only be servicing one location, Ad-Damazin. The other two would however be extended to provide more services to the colonial interior.
At Kosti the Line would branch out from the old tracks and head directly south to the upcoming hub and growing city of Malakal. Another line coming from El Obied heading south to Kadugli would then also reach Malakal After. From there the two reconnecting lines would travel south of Malakal through the south Sudanese plains towards Bor just before it reaches its final destination within the colony in Juba.
However due the Cape to Cairo project the line would extend further south of Juba heading towards the capital of British Uganda, Kampala, and it would then reconnect with the train lines in British East Africa.
Back in El-Obied, another track would be heading west after it branches out in two. After El-Obied the tracks head west across the Sudanese Sahel as it reaches En Nahud, a small settlement of Arabs and Africans. It then continues its journey into Darfur as it reaches the camel trade huh of El Fashir in northern Darfur just before turning south to the largest town in the Sudanese west, Nyala. From there the line splits into two again, one heading south connecting with two trade posts in Burham and Raga before coming to a stop in the town of Wau. The other line leaving Nyala heads north west to Al Junaynah. There, talks have been made of even possibly expanding the railway west of Ouadi Kadja but nothing is official yet.
With British approval and funding, the Sudanese Colonial Administration had announced the beginning of operations towards construction on the track lines with priority out on extending the line from Kosti and El-Obied south to Malakal, hoping that it would also transform these 3 cities into prominent hubs for trade and production, setting the area for an interesting development and industrial region.
The project is estimated to bring many jobs given the effects of the economic depression and its set to complete somewhere in the next 6 years.

[sup]Mahatma Gandhi Begins Hunger Strike In Poona Prison!!?[/sup]
[sup]On September 16th, 1932 as of four days ago, it was reported that current imprisoned civil right's leader Mahatma Gandhi had officially begun a hunger strike inside of the prison walls to protest the British governments decision to separate Indias electoral system by caste.[/sup]
[sup]Eight months later, Gandhi announced he was beginning a fast unto death in order to protest British support of a new Indian constitution, which gave the countrys lowest classesknown as untouchablestheir own separate political representation for a period of 70 years. Gandhi believed this would permanently and unfairly divide Indias social classes. A member of the more powerful Vaisya, or merchant caste, Gandhi nonetheless advocated the emancipation of the untouchables, whom he called Harijans, or Children of God.[/sup]
[sup]This is a god-given opportunity that has come to me, Gandhi said from his prison cell at Yerovda, to offer my life as a final sacrifice to the downtrodden.[/sup]
[sup]Many of his supporters both inside and outside of the prison following suit with the hunger strike in the hopes that the British government would open up talks of negotiations with the imprisoned civil right's leader.[/sup]

HUGGINS & UNITED FEDERAL PARTY WIN FIRST EVER FEDERAL ELECTIONS
September, 1932
As the Federal Government finished settling in and conducted the September 2nd Federal Elections, it was an extremely pleasant result for interim Prime Minister Godfrey Huggins as his newly formed United Federal Party (pro continued minority rule) won the elections with over 74.2% of the total vote. Unlike Elections in most other Countries individuals did not vote for the Prime Minister himself but solely the Party of their regional assembly. Voters therefore elected 35 members of a unicameral Federal Assembly: 14 from Southern Rhodesia constituencies, 8 from Northern Rhodesia constituencies, and 4 from Nyasaland. In addition, there were three members from each territory representing African interests: one of these was a European and two were African. In Southern Rhodesia only, these positions were elected. In the other territories the Governor appointed the European member, while an electoral college chose the African members.
The resulting situation dictated that only 6 Africans were guaranteed membership positions on the Federal Assembly compared to the rest which were elected by the public, those being individuals who met the voting criteria set by the Federation Treaty. Those criteria are an annual income (after taxation) of 100 pounds sterling and a Degree from a British University/College or one of its Imperial affiliates. As a result of the total possible pool of Voters consisting of 91,384 Federal Citizens, only 5,412 were none white and of those a total of 1,941 were Asian (mainly Indian). This tiny fraction of voters with an African background were considered the "privileged few" who despite their color consisted of wealthy businessmen and landowners who were essentially viewed as their less fortunate countrymen as traitors due to the fact that they almost unanimously sided with the system that gave them their wealth and power. Overall the demographic implications of the Election means that 44.49% of whites within the Federation had a right to vote, 11.29% of Asians and yet only 0.07% of Africans. The number is made only slightly better if Tribal members are excluded (as they have no right to vote due to their special status, and the fact that being Residents on tribal land their tribal chiefs make most of their decisions not the Federation) which results in an enfranchisement rate of 0.79% (Of the 5,179,699 Africans in the Federation only 437,163 are Federal Citizens residing on Federal Land).
This situation is hardly likely to ever change, as even though the United Federal Party only won 74.2% of the vote (the immediate assumption being that a pro-enfranchisement party won the remainder) it was in fact the Dominion Party which was a collection of white free market parties throughout the three Federal members, all of whom were pro segregation. The only Majority rule and anti-segregation Party to win any large percentage of the vote at all was the left wing "Federation of African welfare societies" which won 1.12% of the vote, thus not even gaining a single seat in the Assembly. The FAWS was mainly a conglomerate of well-meaning whites who wished higher government aid to the tribal states as well as better representation of "urban africans" within the white-dominated Cities of the Federation, however the majority of its members lacked sufficient income to fulfil the voter criteria due to their reliance on foreign donations (mainly from mainland Britain) for their cause.

[sup]The First Siamese Elections[/sup][/list]
| [sub]Unsurprisingly in the first Siamese national elections were dominated by the Khana Ratsadon who won the elections outright with 68.45% of the total vote. Phraya Manopakorn Nititada a member of the Privy Council who is seen as a neutral figure in Siamese politics has been appointed the countrys first premier, officially titled the President of the Peoples Committee, although this name is still up for change as Phyara Manopakorns first task is to draft a new permanent constitution, with many including the King say the title sounds too Communist in nature.[/sub] |[list]

34.80%, Seats: 103

[*] Independent
[sup]Leader: N/A[/sup]
16.46, Seats: 45[/list]
| [sub]Senior Khana Ratsadon figures have been appointed into the Manopakorn Cabinet including well respected professor and leader of the partys civil faction, Pridi Banomyong, who becomes the Minister of State for the Economy. His first task is to draft a new economic revival plan and continue Siams quest for a westernised economy. Other figures include Colonel Thep Phanthumsen (Phraya Songsuradet) who is regarded as an engineering genius has been appointed de facto chief of the military and Minister for Construction. Phraya Phahon, who previously was Commander-in-chief of the Siamese Royal Army, has been appointed the Minister for the Interior and Minister for Defence, he is the most senior military figure to join the cabinet.[/sub] |
| [sub]These elections and the formation of the first cabinet mark the beginning of a new era for Siam, the perilous path to democracy is now forming into a highway to westernisation. The solid bedrock of support for the Khana Ratsadon and the restored prestige of the monarchy in Siam have helped stabilise the country and reversed its economic misfortunes, at least for the time being.[/sub] |
