OOC: It looks good except for a few small things. Add some info about your military. Also as soon as we get a China, than you'll need their approval for the EAFTA, which they'll probably give. That's all that needs to be changed, though I am curious as to why a communist country would want a free trade agreement.

Technically, Communists are supposed to want free trade, but only with other Communist states.

Plus it's "Neo-Marxism", Communism for the 21st Century.
