NETHERLANDS

-Socialism isn’t seeing as much of an influence here because much of the Netherlands never saw war, meaning there was little to no social change.

-Build bridges over the impassable river system surrounding Central Holland

BELGIUM

-Belgium joins the Internationale. The PM is a communist now, and the king is basically just a figurehead now with no real power.

-A rift begins to grow between the communist and monarchist members of ULCAN, and Belgium begins carefully tracking movement along the Dutch border. They do, however, ease some restrictions on the German border.

LUXEMBOURG

-Life is going good

-Support the Red Cross organization

-Communism rises

-Open their border with Germany

JAPAN

-Oppress Democratics

-Use the gas attacks and shooting of the FM as propaganda, declaring Peru a monster that must be destroyed.

-While the Americans are distracted in the Canal Zone and Brazil, the Japanese navy sweeps in, capturing Midway Island and island-hopping its way towards Hawaii. Bombing raids are carried out on Hilo and Honolulu, and Ni’ihau and Kaua’i fall, with Honolulu threatened.

CARIBBEAN AND THE AMERICAS

-Cuba is accepted into ULCAN

-The invasion of Peru is successful, crossing the Andes to meet with the Brazilian line.

-The Brazilian, Dutch, and Congolese navies capture the ports of Bahia Blanca and Mar del Plata, threatening Buenos Aires with bombs and flames.

-After Argentina cedes it’s remaining land to the Ottoman colony, the socialist armies rush forwards to finish the job. They capture city after city, leaving only the province of Buenos Aires left. (Belarusy, you can play as South Argentina now)

CONGO, CAMEROON

-After the purchases of São Tomé and Principe, Equatorial Guinea, and Gabon, our borders are looking much smoother. The African nations of ULCAN redraw some borders to make travel more efficient and help fix the challenge presented by languages:

INDEONESIA

-We are doing the same stuff as Suriname but on a much larger scale: conservation of nature and industrialization of cities.

-Due to the British Civil War, we will help relieve the British by sending troops to India to assist in keeping the nation together, whichever side wins. We definitely don’t spread communist ideas around to the working class...
