The Hungarian People's Republic of Allbania JULY , 1972 | With the establishment and enactment of the 1972 Revenue Act, came with a potential domestic issue that'll loom over the Hungarian state for generations. That potential issue being one of basic foods, as a provision in the 1972 Revenue Act would see a protectionist policy placed onto the farming sector of the Hungarian economy. Which while some deemed it as a positive, others deemed it as a potential burden onto the Hungarian state and the livelihood of it's people. | | While General Secretary Kádár János József [Kádár] believed that this potential domestic issue, is not resolvable. It is however an issue that could have it's impacts reduced. Under that ideal, Kádár would have the 'Vocational Farming Bill' drafted. The provisions of this bill would be that:
— Any county or district with an economy that has a heavy emphasis on the rate of production of agriculture are applicable. Section 2: Establishment Of The Agricultural Institution — Institutions known as a "Mezőgazdasági Főiskola" [Agricultural College], would be constructed in the countries and districts that have appealed and proven themselves to be eligible for construction of said institution. — The central government using 6% of the revenue earned from the taxes established from the "1972 Revenue Act" would be used towards financing the construction, maintenance and improvements of these Agricultural Colleges. Section 3: The Curriculum — These agricultural colleges would teach their students how to perform every task a farmer would have to do on a daily basis. — Students would also be taught the do's and don'ts of farming. Along with learning applied sciences and a basic level of engineering and mechanics, with the students being taught how to maintain and repair, farming machinery. — Every weekend, students from a agricultural college would get to gather real farming experience by undergoing a hands on activity with a farmer who collaborates with the college. Section 4: The Availability And Access Of The Institution — An individual of any age or gender could enroll in the Agricultural College. — All Agricultural Colleges are public educational institutions. — Textbooks would be provided by the college itself, which would not require payment to acquire. — The only thing an enrolled student has to pay for, are pencils and paper/writing books. Section 5: Potential Future Apprenticeship — During the graduation ceremony, all agricultural colleges have to invite the local farmers to attend the ceremony. — After graduation, students could receive an apprenticeship with any farmers who are interested in taking on an apprentice. Section 6: The Teachers Per Agriculture College — The teachers for each agricultural college, has to be a local. As a local would understand the most on the issues of farming on their land and how to overcome those issues. The bill after being reviewed by Kádár and the Országgyűlés [Hungary's legislative body]. The bill would be rebranded and passed as the "Kádár Agricultural College Act". | | Kádár hopes that this act, will birth a new generation of farmers who are more skilled and ready to handle their duties as farmers and bearers of farmed goods to both the urban centers and their local communities. But the effects that this act would leave behind would only be one that'll be felt, years after. | ______________________________________________ | ||||||
The Kingdom of the Netherlands of Teikoku KONINKRIJIK DER NEDERLANDEN // THE KINGDOM OF THE NETHERLANDS ______ LUXEMBOURG CITY - KONIK FINDS A PYRAMID SCHEME | PALACE OF THE MINISTERS - LUXEMBOURG CITY, BENELUX | In events unfolded by the National Bank of Benelux (NB BANK) the pyrimad scheme of a construction company known as Luxembourg Construction and Repairs Incorporated (LCR inc.) had been found money laundering, and using false bank notes and bank titles to scame the NB Bank out of money. The scheme was all convoluted, but after a few months it got out into public media and many looked upon this event with general shock and opinion. The Prime Minister provided a possible solution: creating a more protective bank system. Everyday, according to dutch statistics, the National Bank withdraws over 1,223,566 ƒ from its safes, almost 23% of all those notes are used for recerational uses, the connection? In 1968, General Adriaan Achterberg introduced a new bank note system proposed after his service in World War Two. The National Bank took this into consideration and it was admitted as the offical bank system of Benelux on the 10th of May, 1969. The recerational use is most of the time for illegal state drugs, which was also connected to the General's bank system, the General is actually one of the Co-Founders of LCR Incorperated and is the father of the current C.E.O. of the company. The bank note system was found to have been defaulted to the company, meaning millions of Dutch Guilds were spent on the company which did few jobs around the country, the last job being in Zeeland after the thunderstorm and flood at Amsterdam. Prime Minister Konik Alderliesten had discovered the scheme by chance, while withdrawing money from his secondary credit account, he had received a company bank note which he noticed had a false serial on it, implying it was a fake note. He told the manager and soon, it was on the news about the 10th largest construction company in the Netherlands was taken down due to 'pyramid schemes' in a ideal world, this issue would have been under covers, but many ministers were insistent on making it public knowledge, and it was indeed for the better. As the people began checking their notes for false serials, the first one was found in the Hague, on the First of July. The bank note was no longer acceptable and soon, all bank notes with the same serials were turned down and the person could be suspected and/or charged for attempted impersonation and false accounting information. | The Nation also recieved many guilds from citizens to invest in stock, which had become a new trend amongst companies and citizens alike. The government wanted to prevent an all out crash, so, new economic protections were installed, closer ties with the European Commune were in order, and the banks were forced to have reserve stocks in case the main stock crashed. The economy of Benelux was booming after this desicion, and it is estimated that over 3,000,000 ƒ (1,480,153 USD) was in reserve ready to be used in case of a stock or economic crisis. The closer the people got to creating a new crash or depression, the banks began to become more strategic with bank donations and givings, trying to show many they were not intent on letting Benelux slip into economic chaos. The Dutch Guild as a currency became valuable across Europe as it was worth much more than many currencies, and it became a staple of Benelux. Stable trade with the Walloon state has also led to a subtle rise to power and the Prime Minister, PM Konik, begins to speak about this new economic plan as: "A Dutch Miracle to the state of Benelux since WW2, our nation has become something much more as our economy grows and our people grow with it. Our nation becomes a centerpiece of the European state for culture, history, and prosperity and we have become one of the most advanced European states." "Een Nederlands wonder voor de staat van de Benelux sinds WO II, onze natie is veel meer geworden naarmate onze economie groeit en onze mensen meegroeien. Onze natie wordt een middelpunt van de Europese staat op het gebied van cultuur, geschiedenis, en welvaart en we worden een van de meest geavanceerde Europese staten." ______________ ______________ ______________ | In a growing Benelux, there is a growing popularity for the European Community, or simply shortened to the EC. In the recent light of the Dutch Economic boom, the Netherlands uses the EC as a fallback in case anything in the state fails or ceases function. The EC has led to a valuable alignment as the Netherlands becomes more intertwined with the continued 'Charge on Hague' using the Dutch Guild, a introduction of a new law embraces EC involvement in the Netherlands, and the nation becomes a brand new state with EC disablement in affairs. The state of affairs of the Netherlands is clear - the dutch have become an ally to all. A formal embassy in East Berlin was established after negotiations with East German officials led to the opening of the embassy, internationally, the United States becomes a major ally as multiple visits lead to a healthy nurtured relationship to the west. Benelux is informing the EC of the upcoming '73 Elections, one of the most deciding factors of the future of Benelux as the elections will be some of the most important in dutch history. The elections of '70 were second compared to the upcoming elections. This election will thus decide the fate of a state and her allies. Een groeiende Benelux, er is een groeiende populariteit voor de Europese Gemeenschap, of kortweg de EG. In het recente licht van de Nederlandse economische bloei gebruikt Nederland de EG als een reserve voor het geval iets in de staat faalt of niet meer functioneert. De EC heeft geleid tot een waardevolle afstemming nu Nederland meer verweven raakt met de voortdurende 'Charge on Haag' waarbij gebruik wordt gemaakt van het Nederlandse Gilde, een introductie van een nieuwe wet de betrokkenheid van de EC in Nederland omarmt, en de natie wordt een gloednieuwe staat met EG-ongeschiktheid in zaken. De stand van zaken in Nederland is duidelijk: Nederlanders zijn een bondgenoot van iedereen geworden. Er werd een formele ambassade in Oost-Berlijn opgericht nadat onderhandelingen met Oost-Duitse functionarissen hadden geleid tot de opening van de ambassade. Internationaal worden de Verenigde Staten een belangrijke bondgenoot, aangezien meerdere bezoeken leiden tot een gezonde, verzorgde relatie met het Westen. De Benelux informeert de EC over de komende verkiezingen van '73, een van de meest beslissende factoren voor de toekomst van de Benelux, aangezien de verkiezingen tot de belangrijkste in de Nederlandse geschiedenis zullen behoren. De verkiezingen van '70 stonden op de tweede plaats vergeleken met de komende verkiezingen. Deze verkiezingen zullen dus beslissen over het lot van een staat en haar bondgenoten. LANG LEVE ONS RIJK!

The Majority of Law and Order
THE STORM CONTINUES | Despite the JUNE SUMMER HEAT, the army of demonstrators and protestors, mobilized by the growing NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC MOVEMENT and inspired by calls from Senator NINOY AQUINO, the nation's last remaining opposition leader, to protest against the continued efforts by the government of PRESIDENT FERDINAND MARCOS to amend the Philippine Constitution. When, in January of this year, President Marcos signed an executive proclamation granting METROCOM additional powers to apprehend and detain protestors and "disruptors of the peace", civil rights groups expressed concern about the possible debilitation of democratic norms in the country. In a rare JOINT ADDRESS TO CONGRESS on 2 June 1972, President Marcos denounced the "destabilizers and agitators" and rallied the support of the "Majority of Law and Order"一 | ". . . We must stand firmly against the threat of national instability! We are already seeing in America and in other parts of the Western World instability instigated by pro-Communist forces in the form of so-called antiwar groups. We must not and cannot surrender to those who seek to undermine our liberty, our rights and our democracy. The Majority of Law and Order stands behind us 一 an overwhelming majority of Filipinos, I am confident, believe in the necessity of the measures this Administration is taking to defend the rule of law and prevent lawlessness." | This so called MAJORITY OF LAW AND ORDER became a regular part of the Marcos Administration's rhetoric since January, as Cabinet officials and pro-government members of Congress fanned out across the country to drum up public support for Malacanang's executive actions. It did, in fact work, thanks largely to a rally around the flag effect, and thanks to the crucial support of conservative and religious groups who were concerned about the possibility of the anti-government protests evolving into the "debauchery" that had permeated the antiwar movement in the United States. The Roman Catholic Church in the Philippines signed off on a non-binding declaration of support for the maintenance of law and order, though this was opposed by some archbishops, including JAIME SIN, Archbishop of Jaro. Newspapers and media, however, continued to incessantly and aggressively cover the demonstrations and the reported violence by police, but this was never corroborated in court. | | Demonstrations are presently expected to continue through the summer, despite the deployment of 2,500 servicemen of the PHILIPPINE ARMY to reinforce the ranks of the PHILIPPINE CONSTABULARY and METROCOM (Metro Command). At PLAZA MIRANDA, site of the attack against opposition politicians last year, demonstrators clashed with counter-demonstrators mobilized by pro-Marcos groups with ties to the Church. In the countryside, various unconfirmed reports of anti-government, communist guerillas springing up to take advantage of the chaos were reaching the capital, causing Congress to approve additional presidential powers for MARCOS in mid-June. The judicial system was presently being swamped by thousands of requests for warrants of arrest as the Philippine Constabulary worked to enforce the executive proclamations that came out of MALACANANG 一 and so as a result, the President began privately considering the possibility of suspending the writ of habeas corpus. JUAN PONCE ENRILE, Defense Secretary, was appointed to discreetly investigate this possibility, along with the possibility of a declaration of MARTIAL LAW. | Adriatican Islands | ||||||

THE YUGOSLAV CRISIS With Yugoslavia Torn by War, Economic, Military and Dynastic concerns Come to a Head.
| The declaration, if bland—Medici would not give any details to the journalists' questions—would however lay the foundations to a series of decrees and unofficial directives from the Prime Minister's office. The Regio Militare would make preparations to send medical supplies and personnel to Yugoslavia should a demand arise; military arsenals were subjected to a meticulous inventory. In the business and legal sector, banks and state-owned or state-participative companies dealing with their Yugoslav partners and clients were advised to report future investments and to extend loans until the end of the troubles. On the other hand, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs would also send a demand to Belgrade asking for a report on the safety of Italian citizens and interests in the country. | | Politically, the conflict offered little to either leftist and rightist militants. While the radical left had since long denounced the revisionist policies of Marshal Tito, they found no corresponding allies among Croats and Bosniaks. The military nature of the uprising also naturally turned off the student activists, who found no way to sneak in the conflict or agitate as they done in other European countries in 1968. Among the far-right, reactions were mixed and mostly visible in its parliamentary representation, the MSI. Many neo-fascists had "converted" to monarchism over the past decade, seeing that the idea of a Republican Italy had now been mostly co-opted by the left. This in turn led them to support Belgrade, as Tito had decided on the Prince of Yugoslavia Peter II, himself a relative of Principessa Elisabetta di Jugoslavia, spouse of Crown Prince Vittorio Emanuele; while a smaller faction among the MSI, and some radical student groups, looked more fondly at the Croats and Bosniak, remembering both Yugoslavia's communist past and the former's Ustaše connections. More broadly, the DC and the PSI had found common ground in supporting Belgrade, and among the general populace, the conflict was often judged not as pressing as the internal issues of the Kingdom. Among the Royal Family however, the recent dynastic connection between the Savoys and the Karađorđevićs has been a central issue, especially for Vittorio Emanuele, whose deep links with the military and security establishment enabled him to sway many Ministers. Privately, he has been said to favor a military intervention, whom he himself would supervise, against the Croat and Bosniak rebels, but the idea has been brushed aside by his more moderate father, King Umberto, to say nothing of the military. The Princess herself has been more moderate, and has mostly been seen coordinating efforts with the Italian Red Cross to support civilian victims of the conflict. | | Another impact of the conflict, and beneficiary within Italy, would be organized crime syndicates. The Mafia families, as they are better known abroad, have wasted no time in contacting Croat and Bosniak rebels to obtain stolen weapons and ammunition; in exchange for crates of Zastava AK-47s (chambered in 8mm), SKS rifles and Soviet hand grenades, all illegally smuggled in Italy via boat, certain commanders and units would be rewarded in cash. From the harbors of Sicily, other illegal goods—hashish from Morocco, heroin from South Asia, morphine and contraband cigarettes from Italy—would be shipped to conflict zones, where there would be no doubt a demand for them among some soldiers and conscripts. | ▌ R.A.I. — Radiotelevisione italiana [ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j84t1m8BuCA ] Adriatican Islands | ||||||
The Kingdom of the Netherlands of Teikoku KONINKRIJIK DER NEDERLANDEN // THE KINGDOM OF THE NETHERLANDS
______ CANNABIS, HEMP, AND VARIOUS DRUGS MAKE HIGH HITS! | PALACE OF THE MINISTERS - LUXEMBOURG CITY, BENELUX | Within the chains of legal policies and the fought battles of politics, the question of legality of certain drugs have been in the voting ballot for some time, some say since the independence of Wallonia, it has been increased in popularity for its addictive properties, but in recent years, Benelux has banned all drug use outside of medical uses. The people sometimes protested out in the streets to show unhappiness at the decisions made by past Prime Ministers, and Ministers of Health have always been against the proposal, even the modern Minister of Health is still against making Cannabis and HEMP legal, however, the new Prime Minister, Konik, has been open to the decisions proposed by the people, but many MP's have been against the decision, but Senate was all for it. The House of Representatives was more open to the proposal and voted FOR it, but the senate always threw it down as a dead proposal. Prime Minister Konik was convincing many Senators about the proposal, and some were open and agreed with the Prime Minister, and soon, the vote was passed. The proposal came to the table of Ministers, the room became frozen with talking, discussion, and speaking. Soon, the Ministers agreed on a single opinion: making Cannabis, HEMP, and Opium legal, other drugs would have to be under tight restrictions for approval, (e.g. Cocaine, Quaaludes) which would also sometimes be used in small concentrations in medical products. The minister stepped up to the podium as the thunderstorm rolled in, and the minister began the speech on the palace, an address towards addictive drugs. | the Illegal drug market had actually been very common, and before the speech had begun, there was a suspected Peruvian drug trade, with native Peruvians at the center of the trade. The clubs in the Netherlands payed hefty prices for the drugs, and it was in almost unlimited quantities, and many store owners had a secret store for the famous addicts who would sell it or resell it for high prices. According to the national dutch census, over 287,889 ƒ were involved in the trade, converted to Peruvian Sol, it is over 531,530 $. This money has been used in illegal European cartels for many years, overseas, it is used for Peruvian Cartels across the Peruvian state, and soon, the dutch government had ultimately almost banned the Peruvian Sol as a legitimate currency, (though the dutch government had not banned the currency, it was under heavy restriction and quality compared to other concurrences) and soon, they began to crack down on the drug trade, this contributed for the need of proper guidelines, and creating drug laws to create a better and safer Benelux. This need for proper law has led to an increase in protests as they call for the proper reinstatement of addictive chemicals. We lead back to Luxembourg City, where the Prime Minister becomes ready to share his speech to the rest of Benelux, and to show his feelings towards addictive drugs, and the first legal store opening in Amsterdam. Men and Women of Benelux, we see our people demand a new commotiy which is sought after for its addictive properties and its properties of realisng domapine and other mind altering chemicals. Now, in this current state of Benekux, we see a heavy crackdown on these drugs, but no more! I promise to all citizens of our nation, that this law will ensure equality to the drug users of our nation, but with that, we use proper rehabilitation for those affected by these drugs, but it is considered a freedom of desicion to do so. We wanted to show Benelux that we are intrested in the equality of our people, wheter they use substances or not, our nation is one blood, and we all share our intrests, just some not in common. So, we now introduce the new drugs regulations laws, for the equality of the Benelux Kingdom! Mannen en vrouwen van de Benelux, we zien dat onze mensen een nieuw product eisen dat gewild is vanwege zijn verslavende eigenschappen en zijn eigenschappen voor het realiseren van domapine en andere geestverruimende chemicaliën. Nu, in de huidige staat Benekux, zien we een hevig optreden tegen deze drugs, maar niet meer! Ik beloof aan alle burgers van ons land dat deze wet gelijkheid voor de drugsgebruikers van ons land zal garanderen, maar daarmee maken we gebruik van passende rehabilitatie voor degenen die getroffen zijn door deze drugs, maar het wordt beschouwd als een vrijheid van beslissing om dat te doen. We wilden de Benelux laten zien dat we geïnteresseerd zijn in de gelijkheid van onze mensen, of ze nu middelen gebruiken of niet, onze natie is één bloed en we delen allemaal onze interesses, alleen sommige zijn niet gemeenschappelijk. Daarom introduceren we nu de nieuwe drugsregelgevingswetten, voor de gelijkheid van het Benelux Koninkrijk! LANG LEVE ONS RIJK! LANG LEVE DE BENELUX! LANG LEVE MENSEN EN KONINKRIJK!

Presidency of Juan Velasco 4: A Shift Towards the Red World | Juan Velasco was not purely content to transform Peru internally, but even externally in foreign policy, Velasco’s Revolutionary Junta would seek to move towards a so-called “third position” in terms of foreign policy. The Superpowers The most important move would be in strengthening ties to the Soviet Union, with Velasco making mass purchases of soviet weapons, tanks, armored vehicles, helicopters, and even jets. According to various sources Velasco's government bought between 600 and 1200 T-55 Main Battle Tanks, APCs, 60 to 90 Sukhoi 22 warplanes, 500,000 assault rifles American-Peruvian relations for most of their history had been relatively tense. As soon as the Revolutionary Government began to introduce left-wing socialist policies these relations would turn from tense to openly hostile. For Peru there was not much love lost, the Peruvian public believed that the United States had actively been working to undermine the Peruvian state, most notably during border disputes with Colombia, and Chile, in which it was perceived the USA had worked to undermine Peru’s ascent as a South American power. Whatever the truth to these claims, President Velasco would seize upon the opportunity to strike at America, nationalizing American oil companies, seizing port terminals, and even seizing several U.S. commercial fishing vessels as the state asserted its own fleet of state-owned fishing fleets. Despite the American President, Richard Nixon attempting to walk back deteriorating US-Peruvian relations, little progress was made, especially when U.S. oil companies demanded Peru compensate them for losses in the naturalization process. Overall, while Peru and the Soviets were on the ascent, American-Peruvian relations would continue their inexorable decline for the rest of the Velasco presidency. The Neighborhood | Peru retained remarkably cold relations with most of its neighbors throughout their history, and under the new leftist government things would be no different. In one bright spot, Cuba. Owing to their similar ideological views, Cuba, and Peru would warm and tighten relations recognizing the Cuban and Peruvian people’s dual struggle against foreign imperialism. While it would not go much further than that, as both were far too weak to assist each other in any truly meaningful way, even so, the propaganda produced by the supposed unity of these two states, would be felt across the region. The biggest hotspot of tension in the region; however, came from Chile. Even since the War of the Pacific, Peru had maintained claims on northern Chilean territory. The sudden and massive expansion and reorganization of the Peruvian Armed Forces, deeply worried Chile. As late as 1973, Chile would discuss potential preventive first strikes against Peru; however, these discussions were shelved after it was argued Peru could destroy the Chilean Air Force, and press deep into Chilean territory. Fears like this were largely unfounded. While Peru had expanded and strengthened its military, the nation had no financial resources, or military will to launch a large-scale war against even the weaker Chilean army. Not desiring a war with Chile, Velasco would recognize the rising tensions on the border. Fortifying the border, a combination of barbed wire fencing, checkpoints, and quick response military task forces would be set up in preparation if Chile ever decided to invade. Alone in Swirling Seas | Peru, once the regional power in Latin America found itself more isolated, and alone than ever before. Reliant upon Soviet military equipment, and ideological support from Cuba, the Peruvian economy, society, and even immigration suffered greatly as a response to the left wing slant of President Velasco, and his Revolutionary Junta. | ||||||
