Ideoligical differences between the CIGS and the CODS have lead to an icing of relations between the two countries. More to follow but it looks like these differences are inreparable and could lead to war

This is a link to my country's space program

Its been several months now since the USSVDB had peacfully succeded from the confederacy. The states of Saxony, Bocage, Odin, all left the confederacy to start their won idealic United states. Since then the USSVDB has built up an army and as of yesterday has completed construction of a border fortification. This has significantly raised tensions between the CIGS and the USSVDB. Also recently a group calling for re-unification has begun to attack USSVDB guards along our border. In response terrorists from their country have killed 4 of our men in a carefully layed ambush along a mountian road. These incidents seems isolated and niether side has condoned these madman's actions. With that aside though the Irish-Germanic states is now on alert level Charlie.
Alpha=At war
Bravo= War iminent
Charlie= Elevated alert
Delta=Low alert/no alert

The Federal goverment...The Irish-Germanic party headed by Rex Ceaser has regained power after a 3 day long coup de etat. This coup was staged by the radical military leader General Nicolas. After forces loyal to the Federal goverment retook the capital, The General was captured dressed as a woman trying to escape. His was summarily executed on the spot. UNfortunatly while he was in power a small war began betwen CIGS and the USSVDB. The general fired 2 nuclear warheads at the USSVDB's capital killing many....more to follow but this has had a desabilizing effect on the region

Our overpopulation problem is becoming sever so measures need to be untertaken to relive the pressure of some billion people squeazed onto a large island. As of now we have begun a sieres of land reclamation projects. Using Dams and pumps the coast line is slowly being moved outwards at a rate of 1/2 a mile a year in the most productive spots. Also most of our industries have been moved underground into large automated manufactories. It is quite the usual sight to see brand new cars rolling out of tunnels in the ground. Also Most Farming has been moved off the surface of the island into space or underground into special hydropnic areas. Experiements with "sub-urbs" actually moving people underground to live have lead to poor moral and wierd demographics. That experiemnt has been almost completely abandoned. Also as part of the Land reclmation project man mad islands are springing up all over the coastal waters. This epic project is taking place on a backdrop of enviormental concisnous and care. We love our enviorment and our doing our best to preserve it.

OOC: Basically an alternate reality has been created for Irish-Germanic states. Under the name Terran Republic of sol, my space forces are way into the future. The history of this is that the CIGS gets into a major conventional war with a mysterious nation. the CIGS wins this war and out of it comes a highly mobile space and power armor force. This force then colonizes the sol system until it is met by alien forces. We win then expand outwards. I am rping a thread right now in which ships from the TRS are in a battle. For all intents and purposes consider my nation to be a modern nation with a nuke problem fighting wars on the edge of the 21st century. If i say otherwise revert to the above history about my space empire. Just trying to spice things up!
