Days of Infamy:
An Alternate History Nation Game

7I2VfJU.png

Welcome one and all, to my third forum game. Inspired by the long running World in Revolution series, started by the late Frymonmon, and the similar alternate history games The New Order by Scrapknight and The World Aflame by alexander23, I have high hopes for Days of Infamy. Unlike the two aforementioned alternate history games that have Germany "win" world war 2, Days of Infamy will begin in the immediate post-war era, July 1, 1945. Also, the Nazis were not removed by a military coup, and they still run Germany, again unlike the prior two. The implications of this will be discussed below.

Simply enough, this game will have players take up the role of nations, or groups that aspire to become nations/take over a nation. Players will direct their nation or group to prominence and power (or irrelevance and decay) through intelligent (or poorly thought out) use of their order(s) and IC. Players will be expected to adhere to historical plausibility. If I feel your orders are absurdly implausible, incomprehensibly stupid, or deliberate metagaming, or any combination of the three, I will kick you.​
Orders
Superpowers- USA, Germany (3 Domestic orders, 2 International orders, 3 War Plans)
Great Powers- UK, Italy, USSR (2 Domestic orders, 1 International order, 2 War Plans)
Frontline Powers- National China, PRC (2 Domestic orders, 2 War Plans)
Minor Power- Most nations (1 domestic order, 1 weak International order, 1 War Plan)
Puppet State- See German/Italian puppets (1 domestic order, possesses military controlled by parent nation)
Semi-autonomous territory- See relevant section (1 domestic order, no military)
Rebel Groups- Communist rebel groups (1 campaign order)

Domestic orders: Can be used for anything within your nation. Can also be used to sign treaties.
International orders: Can be used to influence other nations, spy on other nations, destabilize other nations, or sign treaties.
War Plan: Only can be used while officially at war or if currently involved in a major military conflcit. Cannot be used for recruitment or intelligence gathering.
Campaign order: Like a war plan, but can also be used for recruitment and intelligence gathering. No organized state can have campaign orders. Can be used for many things, but resources are limited for groups possessing this order, so trying to do too many things at once is likely to backfire.
Nazi Germany and Forum Rules
Forum rules ban Nazi symbols and propaganda, and ban discussion of certain things the Nazis did, as well as plausibly realistic genocide. These rules obviously will apply to this game, and I expect all players to be aware of this. I do not want this game shut down and so I ask that players keep these rules in mind when ICing and sending orders. Due to this, only a player I trust to be responsible will receive Germany, the most likely nation to cause a violation of the rules.

Statistics
For this game, national statistics will be secret, known only to the player of the nation in question. Semi-autonomous regions have their stats shared with their master nation. Stats for puppet nations will not be automatically given to their master nation, but can be given if asked. I would greatly prefer if players sent their orders in the same conversation I sent them their stats in, this will greatly help my sanity when compiling orders.

Each type of division is affected by three modifiers, quality, technology, and readiness. Quality measures how well trained the divisions are. Technology shows the average year of equipment your divisions are using. Readiness shows how well prepared your divisions are for battle. 01-20% readiness means completely demobilized, 21-50% readiness means on stand-by, or heavily depleted from fighting, 51-80% means combat ready, and 81-100% means fully mobilized.

Navy: The ships of your navy. Each type of ship is affected by three modifiers, quality, technology, and readiness. Quality measures how well trained the crews of the ships are. Technology shows the average year of equipment your ships are using. Readiness shows how well prepared your ships are for battle. 01-20% readiness means completely demobilized, 21-50% readiness means on stand-by, or heavily depleted from fighting, 51-80% means combat ready, and 81-100% means fully mobilized.

Air Force: The squadrons of your air force. Each squadron represents roughly 40 planes, varying by type and readiness level. Each type of aircraft is affected by three modifiers, quality, technology, and readiness. Quality measures how well trained the crews of the aircraft are. Technology shows the average year of equipment your aircraft are using. Readiness shows how well prepared your aircraft are for battle. 01-20% readiness means completely demobilized, 21-50% readiness means on stand-by, or heavily depleted from fighting, 51-80% means combat ready, and 81-100% means fully mobilized.

Logistical capacity: The capacity for your army to operate and maintain its level of efficiency in the face of attrition. Ranges from strained, low, below average, average, above average, to high.
Manpower: The capacity of your nation to raise more soldiers for its armed forces. Ranges from exhausted, low, below average, average, above average, to high.
Public Support: How supportive the common people are of your nation's current government. Ranges from in revolt, low, below average, average, above average, to high.
Faith in Political Institutions: How much faith people have that the government is legitimate and will act in their best interests. Ranges from anarchy, low, below average, average, above average, to high. The lower levels are likely to cause problems for succession of leadership, and are more prone to coups and violent exchanges of power.

Intelligence Agency: The organization of your government that is responsible for gathering intelligence and preventing enemies from infiltrating your nation. Range in effectiveness from low, below average, average, above average, and high. Only great powers possess this stat, other nations operate at the equivalent of low effectiveness. A nation can have multiple intelligence agencies, which increase the chance that the truth is found, enemy efforts are thwarted, and if one is infiltrated, the other(s) can still operate. However these agencies might compete with each other, and become less effective individually.

History
ANCIENT FINLAND

The first humans arrived in Finland about 7,000 BC after the end of the last ice age. The earliest Finns were stone-age hunters and gatherers. Over thousands of years successive waves of people entered Finland. After 2,500 BC people in Finland lived by farming. About 1,500 BC they learned to make tools and weapons from bronze. About 500 BC people in Finland learned to use iron. However the Finns had little or no contact with the classical civilizations of Greece and Rome.

FINLAND IN THE MIDDLE AGES

The recorded history of Finland began in the 12th century. By 1120 Christian missionaries were operating there. They were prepared to use force to convert Finland! The Swedish king Eric led a crusade in 1157. An Englishman, Bishop Henry of Uppsala, assisted him. Henry stayed after the Swedish soldiers left and he was martyred. Later he became the patron saint of Finland. However in 1172 the Pope said that the Finns would convert then renounce their faith as soon as their enemies had left. He advised the Swedes to subject the Finns by permanently manning fortresses in Finland.

However the Swedes had rivals in Finland. The Danes invaded Finland twice, in 1191 and in 1202. Furthermore the Novgorodians (from part of what is now Russia) hoped to control Finland and convert the people to the Eastern Orthodox Church. They fought the Swedes at the River Neva in 1240 and won a decisive victory. However the Swedes returned in 1249. Earl Birger led this second crusade. He succeeded in conquering Hame and built a castle at Hameelinna. Finally in 1291 a native Finn was made bishop of Turku.

However the Swedes were keen to conquer Karelia. In 1293 they sent an expedition under Marshal Torgils Knutsson. At first they were successful but in 1381 the Novgorodians counterattacked. The two sides made peace in 1323. Karelia remained in Novgorodian hands.

Meanwhile Swedish colonists migrated to Finland in large numbers and after 1323 Finland became a province of Sweden. Swedish law came to apply in Finland (although it was tempered by Finnish custom). In 1362 the Swedes allowed the Finns to participate in the election of a Swedish king. Then, in 1397, Finland, Norway, Sweden and Finland). The Union broke up in 1523.

FINLAND 1500-1800

The reformation in Finland was led by Mikael Agricola who became bishop of Turku in 1554. When he died in 1557 Finland was firmly Lutheran. Then in 1581 Finland was made a Grand Duchy. Meanwhile Helsinki was founded in 1550.

However in 1596-97 Finnish peasants rose in rebellion in the Club War (so called because the peasants were armed with clubs). The nobles ruthlessly suppressed the rebellion. Afterwards the peasants condition did not improve but Finland became an integral part of Sweden.

The end of the 17th century and the beginning of the 18th were years of hardship for the Finns. In 1696-97 there was a severe famine. Malnutrition and disease reduced the population of Finland by about a third.

Then came the Great Northern War of 1709-21. In 1713 the Russians invaded Finland and marched across it. The Swedish-Finnish army made a last stand at Storkyro but was defeated. The Russian occupation from 1713 to 1721 is known as the Great Wrath. Wealthy Finns fled to Sweden but peasants could not escape. King Charles XII ordered the Finns to start guerrilla warfare against the Russians, which naturally led to reprisals. In 1721 peace was made but Charles XII had to surrender the south-eastern part of Finland to Russia.

Meanwhile in 1710 plague reached Helsinki and devastated the population.

War broke out again between Sweden-Finland and Russia in 1741. The Swedes were defeated at Villmanstrand. The Russian army occupied the whole of Finland but the treaty of Albo, which ended the war in 1743 left the status quo unchanged except that Russia took a small part of Finland.

War broke out again in 1788. This time a man named Magnus Sprengporten led a separatist movement. However he attracted few followers and the war ended in 1790.

FINLAND IN THE 19th CENTURY

Finland was finally detached from Sweden in 1809. The Russians invaded Finland on 21 February 1808. The Russians captured a fortress at Sveaborg in May but the Swedish-Finnish army won a victory at Lapua in July. However in September 1808 the Russians won a decisive victory at Oravainen. Swedish troops then abandoned Finland and left to their own devices the Finns made peace with the Tsar. During the 18th century Sweden was declining and Russia was growing more and more powerful so the Finns bowed to the inevitable.

In March 1809 the Finnish Diet (a form of parliament) accepted Tsar Alexander as their ruler. He agreed that Finland would become a Grand Duchy rather than a part of Russia and he promised to respect Finnish laws. In 1812 the Tsar moved the capital of Finland from Turku to Helsinki.

Little changed in Finland in the early 19th century. Then in 1856 the Saimaa canal was built. It enabled the Finns to export timber from their great forests to western Europe more easily.

In the late 19th century Finnish nationalism began to grow. As early as 1835 Elias Lonnrot published a collection of Finnish folk poems called Kalevala. After 1850 interest in the Finnish language and culture grew stronger. In 1858 the first Finnish speaking grammar school opened. By 1889 half of the grammar schools in Finland spoke only Finnish.

However at the end of the 19th century Tsar Nicholas II tried to clamp down on Finnish nationalism. In 1899 he issued a manifesto, which said he had the power to make laws for Finland, without the consent of the Finnish Diet if those laws affected Russian interests.

FINLAND IN EARLY THE 20th CENTURY

The pendulum then swung the other way. In 1902 Finnish was made an official language along with Swedish and in 1905 the Tsar withdrew the manifesto of 1899. In 1907 a new assembly was elected to replace the old Diet. This time all men were allowed to vote.

From 1906 Finnish women were also allowed to vote. Finland was the first European country and the third in the world, after New Zealand and Australia to allow women to vote in national elections. Furthermore in 1907 Finnish women became the first in the world to win seats in a national parliament.

However in 1910 the Tsar severely restricted the power of the Finnish legislature. He declared that he had the power to pass laws for Finland if its effects are not limited to the internal affairs of that region.

But the reign of the Tsar was soon over. He abdicated in March 1917. In July 1917 the Finnish Diet declared that it had authority in all matters except foreign policy. Then on 6 December 1917 the Diet declared Finland an independent Republic.

Meanwhile in October 1917 a conservative government was elected in Finland. The far left decided to try and take power by force. The Red Finns seized Helsinki and other towns. However General Gustaf Mannerheim led the White Finns. In April 1918 they captured Tampere. Meanwhile the Germans intervened. German troops captured Helsinki. By the middle of May the rebellion had been crushed. Subsequently 8,000 reds were executed. Another 12,000 died in prison camps.

In October 1918 a German Prince, Charles Frederick of Hesse was made king of Finland. However his reign was extremely short. After Germany signed the armistice on 11 November 1918 Mannerheim was made regent. Shortly afterwards, in 1919 Finland gained a new constitution. In July 1919 Finland's first president K J Stahlberg replaced Mannerheim. Finland became a republic.

Following Finnish independence farming was reformed. In the years 1918-1992 many lease holders became small holders.

In 1929 the Communists demonstrated in Lapua. As a result right-wingers foamed an anti-Communist movement called the Lapua movement. In February 1932 the Lapua movement tried to seize power in Mantsala. President Stahlberg defeated the rebellion but the rebels were treated leniently.

Finland became involved in the Second World War. In 1939 Stalin feared attack from the west. He wanted to take territory from Finland to protect his northern flank. Stalin offered to give Finland other territory in exchange but the Finnish government refused so Stalin decided to use force.

The Winter War began on 30 November 1939. The Finns were heavily outnumbered but they fought bravely. The Russians invaded north of Lake Lagoda but they were defeated at Tolvajari and Suomussalmi. Meanwhile along the Karelian Isthmus Finland was protected by the Mannerheim line, a network of forts and concrete bunkers and trenches. The Russians tried to break through but the Finns held them up for several weeks.

However on 14th February 1940 the Russians penetrated the Mannerheim line and Finland was forced to seek peace. The war ended with the Treaty of Moscow on 12 March 1940. Afterwards Finland was forced to surrender the southeast including the city of Viipuri (Vyborg) and more territory north of Lake Lagoda. About 22,000 Finns died in the Winter War.

In June 1941 Finland joined with Germany in attacking Russia. The Finns called it the Continuation War. The Finns quickly recaptured their territory, pressing onwards with the German Reich's forces, besieging Leningrad until the end of the war where they received much of eastern 'Old' Karelia.

Following this ultimate test of a nations character, the Finns must now decide how to go from here.

Creation and Origins


It was a state concept among south Slavic academia that would eventually trickle into the masses from the 17th to early 20th century coming to fruition from the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian dynasty in the aftermath of World War 1. By 1916 the Serbian government-in-exile made what would become the 1916 Corfu Declaration. It was known as the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes but it was better identified as Yugoslavia. It was a combination of the Slavic words jug (south) and slaveni (slavs).

As the Hapsburg Empire was dissolved, the Pro-Entente National Council of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs took power in Zagreb in October 1918, later that month a Yugoslavist Croatian parliament declared independence and requested an immediate union 2 days later with Serbia and Montenegro. To control the anarchy in Croatia, the National Council requested military intervention by the Serbian army although help would not arrive until the end of November. However, the union had met quarrels from the outset due to its terms. On the one side, a centralized union was sought after while the other wanted a federal Yugoslavia. One such proponent was Stjepan Radić, his view was the creation of a South Slavs Confederacy in which there would be not one or two but three heads of state: the Serbian king, the Croatian ban, and the president of the Slovenian national council. In his rationale, the confederacy would only have ministers for foreign affairs, for defense and for the distribution of food. Needless to say this proposal was rejected by the National Council on the grounds of separatism.

King Alexander I

In June 1928 politicking took a turn for the worst when a Serb deputy shot at five members of the opposition Croatian Peasant Party in the National Assembly resulting in the immediate death of two deputies and that of leader Stjepan Radić a few weeks later. The opposition withdrew from parliament insisting on new elections and to renegotiate the terms of the union. Under this pretense, King Alexander Karađorđević abolished the constitution and terminated parliament. The country’s name was changed to the Kingdom of Yugoslavia and the nation’s internal divisions were changed from 33 oblasts to 9 banovinas. A court for the protection of the state was created to crush any and all dissent. In 1931, Alexander I decreed a new constitution which made executive power the gift of the king with elections reinstated via universal male suffrage, however secret ballots were dropped allowing the government to pressure public employees to overwhelmingly vote for the governing party. Meanwhile the entire upper house was appointed by the King and all legislative acts, while only needing one chamber to approve it, needed final approval from His Majesty. However, King Alexander’s reign would end with his assassination in 1934. Because Alexander’s eldest son Peter II was still a minor, a regency was created dominated by Prince Paul.

World War 2 and Beyond

Yugoslavia became one of the few nations untouched by the European war, carefully maintaining its neutrality in the face of the German onslaught. While many in the Serbian community were fervently (And still are) Anti-Axis the fall of France and defeat from the British in North Africa and the Middle East prompted them nation to accept Hitler’s non-aggression pact. With the guns finally falling silent the nation is ruled by a pragmatic Peter II and his Prime Minister Miha Krek, a vehement anti-communist. With Hitler gone it remains to be seen what will happen next given several axis nations have claims on Yugoslavia, to say nothing of the domestic situation the country faces with a rather restless Croatian population.

The State of Palestine and the Transjordan | Dawlat Filastin washarq al'Urdun

Form of Government : Unitary Parliamentary Constitutional Republic
Head of State and Government : Grand Mufti Amin al-Husseini
Capital : Jerusalem
Political Organ : Arab Higher Committee

History
Prior to the Second World War:

Following the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire and the conclusion of the First World War, the Arab peoples were prepared to enter into a new age of independence, as was promised by the victorious Triple Entente. However, these promises proved hollow and contradictory, as the imperialist powers of Europe had few intentions on relinquishment their newfound hold over the lands of the Middle-East. From this tragedy came the mandates, colonial exploitation under the guise of legitimacy afforded by the League of Nations - Britain gaining the Mandate of Palestine, France gaining the Mandate of Syria. The promised unity of the Arab peoples was swept aside, and the imperialist powers enacted policies to further divide and subordinate the wishes of the local populace, despite the known wishes of the people established as self-rule by the King-Crane Commission.

From this came agitation from the Arabs, nationalists, pan-Arabists, and reformists, and traditionalists all had interests in sidelining the influence of the British in Palestine and instead pushing forward their own ideologies, disparate may they be. This dissent was worsened by the British support of Zionism, the migration of Jews into the region to create a homeland for their people. This can be seen as a distinct cause of the Arab riots in 1920, which saw the defeat of Arab aspirations towards a union between Palestine and Syria, and thus the death of the concept of Greater Syria. Many Palestinians, including Amin al-Husseini, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, were deeply affected by such loses and turned inward towards a more regional focus. Many among the socially conscious joined secret societies and clubs, proliferating clandestine actions and ideologies in opposition to the British. Sporadic animosity would rear its head a few times over the course of the 1920's and into the 30's.

During the War:

By 1936, another breaking point had been reached, resulting in a three-year revolt within Palestine. While another failure, its results once again emboldened an evolution in Arab national identity, while serving as a platform to elevate prominent leaders within the movement. In 1936, the Arab Higher Committee was born, headed by the Grand Mufti, which consisted of two major factions - the al-Husseini clan and their Palestine Arab Party, and the al-Nashashibi clan and their National Defence Party. Although they both agreed to fight towards independence, the natural rivalry between the two made itself manifest as al-Husseini and their supporters proved excessively militant, while the al-Nashashibi were more moderate.

Over the course of the revolt, the Committee was outlawed and dispersed, with many of its leaders exiled or fled. When the British proposed the 1939 White Paper, a concession that would recognize the need for an Arab-majority state and the curtailing of Jewish immigration, the Grand Mufti shocked the Committee by refusing it outright. Having escaped to Lebanon, the Grand Mufti feared its acceptance would put power in the hands of his rivals and it was his expectation that true power should be held by himself as the Committee's president and guide.

Having made himself an enemy of the British, the Grand Mufti then looked to the looming European war and made contact with the Nazi leadership of Germany. Having received monetary aid by the Italian fascists prior, the Grand Mufti had long established his willingness to work with the authoritarian regimes of Europe. In his eyes, the aims of the Arab people greatly coincided with the aims of the Nazi Party, as they sought the overturn of the British, a harsh response to Zionism, and an upsetting of the global scales. When pro-Nazi sympathizers launched a coup in Iraq, the Grand Mufti and key Palestinian supporters provided support, with the Grand Mufti issuing a fatwa for holy war against Britain. Following that success there, the Grand Mufti called for the restoration of the Arab Higher Committee and launched a campaign of sedition against the British within Palestine.

As the Axis roared through the Levant, those supporters of al-Husseini were among the most eager backers, and most of the local support came from the nascent organization of the reformed Arab Higher Committee.

Following the War:

Since the war's conclusion, the Grand Mufti and his Arab Higher Committee has pushed itself as the governing body of the emergent State of Palestine and the Transjordan. Militant, authoritarian, and highly receptive towards the Axis-installed order, the regime of the Grand Mufti has been quick to move towards labeling enemies of the state, namely Zionists, moderate al-Nashashibi, and anyone deemed counter to the rule of the al-Husseini.

And among the people comes the question of the future of the Arab people. Preaching a pan-Arabist dream, it had yet to be truly elucidated the exact ideology the Grand Mufti and his cohorts would pursue, though it was without question dependent on how loose the German leash would be held.
