Is it wrong that I have laughed for almost 5 minutes, and really hope that is an action now?

They'd demand you get a broadcast license and then tell you to pay a fine for violating FCC regulations.
In fact you'd be yelled at for breaking this in perticular
Obscene, Indecent and Profane Broadcasts
Federal law prohibits obscene, indecent and profane content from being broadcast on the radio or TV.
And given that what you want to Brodcast is Non Educational...another strike.
SO...they'd shut that shit down for a couple violations.

Oh wait! Jungmin specced into cultural victory, lmao. We probably COULD make Commiewood!
What are they gonna do? Sanction us?

Imagine the Guangchou intelligence agencies getting a reputation as suave seducers who pull off amazing honeypots and the CIA people are tearing their hair out over our success rate but it's literally just queers deciding to stay because it's so much nicer for them here.

CIA: I'm NOT GAY!! I'm NOT man...I didn't survive NAM and College to get saduced by some guy who dresses like a Maid on the Weekends!
GIB: I wasn't...wait...do you actually think your going to go Gay just by talking to me!
CIA: A little...I'm...just...having trouble, my marriage is shaky...I'm having office problems are getting worse and my Dad got cancer and I've been having a rough time dealing with the Act of God the Navy's forced on our lap.
GIB: Want to talk about it?
CIA: Uh...Not really...I just feel my life is getting worse because you guys showed up.
GIB: You think I'm bad...let me tell you about that strange Mercenary State in the Triangle...They make ME pull my hair out!
CIA: You have people in the world that give you trouble too?
GIB: They Just...ruin all my fantasies about revolution, while being strangely effective.
CIA: Want to talk about it?
GIB: No.
CIA: Well, we must coexist...until this problem is delt with. Ever heard of LOTR?
GIB: Does it have anything Gay in it? If it doesn't I probably won't like it.
CIA: Give it a chance dude...leave your comfort zone a little.
GIB: Have you ever gone to a-

@HeroCooky, can we build/design native submarines? And how long does it take for us to design a military vehicle?

A turn is six months, so it would take you six months to get a design, and another six to start pumping out said design.
And there is no restriction (besides physics and technology) on what you can/can't build/design.

Are we sure we need education reform? Because that's faster than the USSR/USA could do that. Are we Belka?
We're going to be writing the (first) gay fanfic for this aren't we.
This is a hilarious concept and now I know at some point a historical biopic is going to be made of a hapless CIA agent sent to investigate why [insert closeted actor name here] didn't return to the the USA, only to realize he has feelings for his mark. What will he choose! His love, or his country?
Seriously, so many cheesy melodramatic romance movies are eventually going to be made about people moving to Guanchou once the cold war settles down/ends

But FR, tech/design-sharing with the Chinese and USSR allows you to do many things for the next decade without much in the way of science needed. Unless you want anything more than second grade stuff.
But did they write SmeagolxAragon fics?

Why don't we build up our schooling and use our spies to get ourselves pushing the edge of science, instead of merely getting whatever they want us to have?

It gets my vote just for this. GLORY TO THE COUNTRY!
[X] Perfectly Balanced
I suppose I'll throw my hat into the ring to try to get a few more votes for my flag design.
I made the Black and Blue Bar design to try to evoke that "tiny communist country" feel that I didn't get from any of the other designs. Bright red and gold star front and center to tie us to the Sinosphere and shout: "Yes, we are a Communist country and we are going to let you know every chance we get!" Followed up with the black and blue colors that originally I picked because the color pallet looked cool, but then back-symbolized to represent spreading the Revolution across the seas and into space. Use those colors to make the flag distinct enough to say that politically we aren't a part of China, but we can't make the design too fancy or it risks looking like we let something as dangerous as Culture survive our revolution, and we can't have that.
As much as I love the memes we've got going, I like Guangchou more when it balances the craziness with actually being a North Korea trying to get better. One of my favorite things about this quest is how it feels like it really could be set in an alternate Cold War, with things our sister ISS in Germany with the Day of Dead Roses, and the tidbits of how our open embrace of everyone who aren't straight cis-men has made stuff worse for them in the US with the movement being tied closely to Communism balancing out the craziness of the Nazi Wunderwaffe and beached US carriers. My favorite piece of the quest so far has got to be that one serious snippet of post-war German de-Nazification and politics. I tried to make my own flag design in that vein of "this could've been real," rather than funny jokes like "what if our absolute dictator wanted to abolish the state?"
Making The Most Glorious Democratic People's Republic of Guangchou. Light of All Nations, Defender of Humanity, and Paradise on Earth into 100% wall to wall memes doesn't really fit what the world has got going so far to me. It feels less like "this is a world that could have happened," and more like "this is a world where Tzeentch stuck it's fingers in everyone's brains and messed around because they felt like it."

I mean, I think an in universe case can be made for any of the proposed plans - life tends to be stranger than fiction so there are material explanations we can come up with for the various flags.
Could be that anarchists sentiment in Guangzhou was particularly strong during the Revolution as a backlash against the rigid social control exerted by the monarchy, and that's reflected in the red/black flag but Wei Cai stabbed them in the back after he won and purged most of them.

For that, I'll be able to assuage your fears/worries. While the memes and crazyness are fun and hilarious to engage in, I won't bend the world in Tzeentchian ways to justify the jokes.
If CyberEnby's flag wins, you having a ying-yang black/white/red symbol as main center-piece will have narrative weight and history. Kinda like they proposed:
Similarly, the vote on what you will do with the carrier has, atm, Jungmin suffer a stress-induced laughing/crying nervous breakdown. At the same time, your UN Diplomat is basically burning every favor and connection she can to tell her American Counterpart to play ball with the political fiction they are currently creating back home.
Meanwhile, Gerald Ford has to navigate dealing with the communists to stop things from going into a Cuba 2.0, without causing the senate to impeach him for dealing with the communists. Or for the public to create another Lilac-Red Scare, which would be not ideal right now.

He'll be fine...He managed to deal with Nixon without too much backlash OTL...mostly.
Besides...All I think anyone wants at this point in America is to get out of the 70s intact at this point because clearly they just need more than just a beer after pulling out of Nam.
They need Whisky.

Ford: Guy's we need to calm down and get the public through the American Malis in a timely manner.
Congress: Screaming about everything.
Ford: Why are we saddled with people like this.
Chad George Mcgovern: They are ignorant, and not as wordly as us.
Ford: I want them all to shut up and work for our nations interest without being idiots.
MC: We can't always get what we want sir...we work with what we have.
