[X] Effect of the LLDC
"And we are live from Wall Street, where ever since the official signing of the Cybernetic Pact, the stocks are falling-"

"This is an unprecedented move by the socialist and communist nations, an utter upheaval of the world and its carefully balanced geopolitical climate-"

"Several delegates in the UN, especially from the US, have sharply critized the formation of CyPac, and its severe effects on the global economy-"

"The President of the United States has officially announced a hardline against the march of "subversive global communism seeking to undermine the freedom of our fellow free men and women around the globe." This came just hours before an apparent blockade of Cuba's main port began-"

"With the aid of our brethren in the fight against capitalism and its evils, we will not merely prevail over its predations upon our people, but emerge stronger than ever, united as one!"

"Oil prices have started rising ever since the formation of the Cybernetic Pact, and they have shown no sign of stopping, despite the continued supply, due to global worry and speculation about reduced supply and increased costs by the various member nations-"

"My People. My Countrymen. My fellow workers. I can officially share the news and confirm the rumors about our alliance with our fellow brothers and sisters against poverty, injustice, and exploitation with pride and no small amount of happiness. An alliance from the edges of the Americas to the ends of Asia, standing strong and united-"

"Grenada cannot, and will not, subject itself to these demands, no matter what threats the US throws at us. Our people stand with us, and they stand proud."

Keeping ones teeth in working order and free of caries and cavities is an integral part of keeping yourself healthy and working, as the pain of decaying teeth and their roots are distracting, produce a myriad of foul odors that repulses others, and can even lead to death in more cases than merely edge cases. The latter happens to the degree that many aren't willing to contemplate. However, it is a factor that pushed the various health organizations and unions around Guangchou to push to fluoridate the water supply. A chosen amount of the substance within the drinking water has been proven to prevent cavities in children and boost the overall health of the teeth of adults, even if some of your experts are a bit iffy about the effect on adults with access to dental healthcare products that already have the substance within them, like toothpaste. Nevertheless, any little bit helps in the long run, and any effort taken today eliminates two in the future.

[Vaccination Adoption has dropped by nearly 48% in the last week, compounding on the losses suffered during the previous month, reducing the full rollout of the measles vaccine to another nine months, with others suffering less severe but still continuing losses in the rollout. However, we expect that with another concerted push, we will be able to bring production up to demand and see the already produced vaccines distributed without losing any time due to logistical confusion.]

"Ladies, Gentlemen, Enbies, and all others in-between and beyond," the doctor at the front of the class stuffed to bursting with nearly six-hundred students in Das Kapital's University said, staring imperiously up at the assembled mass of people eager to learn medicine and aid their fellow workers of Guangchou. "I am Karl Chu-Ni, resident expert of virology within the GISS, and I will say this once, and only once." At their teachers' words, the room went silent, or as quiet as nearly a thousand people could be. "You are attempting to become doctors. Nurses. Surgeons. Practicioners of health. You are here because you see the suffering of your fellow people, and you cannot abide by such any longer, setting out to learn how to help them in any way you can. So let me say this first, so you may understand the future you willingly subject yourself to. You will be forced to choose who will die and live," he spoke, and you could hear a pin drop. "You will do so again and again, week after month after year. You will work yourself to death, saving a life by cutting malignant tumors out or mending broken parts, and you will be unable to do anything as they waste away. And each time you fail, you will cry and despair." Speaker Chu-Ni looked around the room, a steely cold within his eyes. "When you do, hold tight onto that despair. It means you cared. That you tried. The worst doctor is not the one who can't save an injured person, but the one who doesn't care if they live or die." He stopped, looking around the room from one side to the other, before, seemingly satisfied, taking up a piece of chalk. "Now, allow me to introduce you to your chosen suffering..."

The DAF CF 75.310 produced in 1980 and put into widespread use by the nation's garbage collection services was but one way the government attempted to increase their people's health; its focus on using machinery and automated solutions wherever applicable had fascinating implications within the socio-economic framework of sanitation workers compared to other nations where they, usually, stood at the bottom of the rung since the need for such work to be done in an organized manner was recognized. Notably, the various social campaigns to raise awareness of...

(3 + 1 = 4 - Sub-Par)
Oh, you made contact with the various wanna-be warlords of the Chinese army, alright. And they even contacted those you sent out to cautiously reach out to them and see if they could hold against your favored candidate in the upcoming civil war. Contact is a euphemism for shooting them as suspected spies, by the way. Just to ensure that nobody is left behind or left wondering.

Welp. They will be highly paranoid for a while, and any attempts at contacting them will be far more challenging.

(A good way of improving quality of life without needing to produce too many consumer goods is to implement a program where people can borrow more infrequently used goods from a central storehouse - things like vacuum cleaners, specialized cookware, hand tools, etc. The libraries can also double as social and entertainment spaces by including television or radio, depending on the size of the library and the number of people served.

(The BTR-71 has the general shape and appearance of the BTR-60 but has just about nothing in common. Weighing 20 tons, this LST is armed with a light cannon, four missiles, a coaxial machine gun, and a hull machine gun. It is crewed by four crew with a place for eight additional passengers and possesses a top speed of 80 km/h on-road and 12 km/h in water.)

Additionally, the passenger compartment of the PC has been removed in favor of an AT Cannon with a gun shield.)
-[] Design A Native Sidearm (Describe) (Choose Any/All)
--[] Fateful Seal (Revolver)
(The Fateful Seal is designed as a top-break gas-seal revolver, using the Webley and the Nagant M1895 for inspiration. Research shows that as much as 26% of propellant gas escapes through the barrel and cylinder gap. Like more or less all gas-seal revolvers, the FS uses the cartridge case to seal the gap between the cylinder and the barrel. It uses a 13.2x55mmSR cartridge; the flat nose boattail bullet is 13.2 millimeters wide and 15 millimeters tall. It has a level on the right side, like the Webley revolver, and is used for the same purpose. Additionally, with the proposed 4.7-inch to 12-inch long barrels, the FS combines detachable shoulder stock, holster, and a 6-or-7-round cylinder.)
--[] Conscript's Friend (Cheap Pistol)
(The CF is a dead-simple integral box magazine pistol taking inspiration from the Steyr Hahn, the FN 1903, the Browning Hi-Power, and the TT-33. The FN 1903 provided the CF with its general shape and appearance, the Steyr Hahn, integral magazine and stripper clip guide, the Browning Hi-Power knowledge on double-stack magazines, and more modern safety features, and last but not least, the TT-33 gave the CF knowledge on simplicity. Cambered in an 8x40mmSR cartridge, the CF is designed to be as simple as possible while safely chambering its integral 10-round box fed with stripper clips. The handgun is supposed to be so simple that anyone who can rifle the barrel should be able to make the rest of the pistol with hand tools.)
--[] Spook's Squeak (Agent Pistol)

--[] The Police's Friend (Bolt-Action Rifle with shotgun+grenade capabilities)
(The PF, just like FS, is meant to be used by police and rear line units and is a bolt-action rifle design taking inspiration from the Lee-Enfield, the Swedish Mauser, and the Fateful Seal. The Swedish Mauser provided the PF with its general shape, appearance, and stripper clip guide, the Lee-Enfield magazine and sling mounts, and the Fateful Seal gave the PF the base for its unique 12 g under-barrel revolver shotgun. The PF is meant to be able to use 40mm rifle grenades such as HEAT, HE, and Smoke, with the under-barrel shotgun supposed to be primarily used for riot control in police use and rear line units. Chambered in the same 13.2x55mmSR cartridge as the Fateful Seal, the PF is fed from a 10-round detachable magazine with a 25-inch barrel length and a 40-inch overall length.)
--[] The Militia's Friend (Cheap SMG)
(The MF is a crude SMG taking inspiration from the Sten, PPS, Swedish m/45 SMG, MP 40, and MP 3008. The MF, just like the CF, is meant to be used not by the military but by the militia forces of Guangchou. The Swedish m/45 gave the MF its general shape and appearance; the MP 3008 gave the shoulder stock; the PPS, its knowledge of curved magazines; the MP 40, the safety features and sling mounts; and the Sten, its simplicity. With a fire rate of 570 rounds per minute, it is chambering the 8x40mmSR cartridge from a 20 to 30-round detachable box magazine or a 50-round drum with a 20-inch barrel and a 28-inch overall length. The MF is designed to be as simple as possible while still safely chambering its cartridge, and it's supposed to be so simple that anyone who can rifle the barrel should be able to make the rest of the "submachine" gun; using hand tools.)
--[] The Soldiers Friend (Mainstay Select-Fire Rifle)
(The SF is a relatively simple select-fire rifle taking inspiration from the AVS-36, the Fedorov Avtomat, the BAR, and the FG 42. It is meant to be used by professional forces, not police or militia. The BAR provided the SF with its general shape and appearance, the FG 42, the operational and gas system, the Fedorov Avtomat, the magazine, the dust cover, the AVS-36, and the muzzle brake and sling mounts. The SF has a fire rate of 406 to 610 rounds per minute, chambering the 6.5x57mmSR cartridge fed from a 20 or 25-round detachable box magazine while possessing a 28-inch barrel and a 40-inch overall length. The SF is designed to be a reasonably uncomplicated weapon yet modern and meant to be the main arm of the military while still being cheap to produce.)
--[] The Guard's Arm (Costly High-Magazine SMG)
(The GA is a costly high-quality submachine gun taking inspiration from the Browning Hi-Power, the MP 40, MP 5, and the Conscripts Friend and is meant to be used by the secret service and the guards of various military-industrial and laboratory installations. The conscript's friend gave the GA its general shape and appearance, the MP 5 its action, the MP 40 gave the detachable muzzle ring, and the Browning Hi-Power gave it the detachable double-stack magazine alongside modern safety features. The weapon has a fire rate of 457 to 800 rounds per minute, chambered in a 6.5x30mmSR cartridge from a 10 to 30-round detachable double-stack magazine or 48-round detachable double-stack drum. The GA is 457mm long, not counting the detachable shoulder stock, and has a detachable muzzle ring that can be unscrewed to attach a suppressor.)
--[] The Workers Might (Crewed Anti-Tank System)
The WM is a recoilless rifle design inspired by the Carl Gustaf 8.4 cm recoilless rifle and the German 10.5 cm Leichtgeschütz 40. It is an anti-tank weapon meant for service with professional forces. The LG 40 gave the WM its general shape and appearance; the Carl Gustaf gave it its hinged breech. The WM uses unique 152x305mmR shells capable of firing HE and HEAT ammunition.
--[] The Soldiers Arm (Mainstay SMG)
The SA is a simple submachine gun taking inspiration from the United Defense M42 and the M50 Reising, meant to be used by professional forces. The UD M42 provided the SA its general shape, appearance, and wooden foregrip, and the M50 Reising gave the sights and sling mounts. The SA has a rate of fire of 570 to 800 rounds per minute, chambering the 10x37mmSR cartridge from a 20 to 30-round detachable double-stack box magazine or a 50-round detachable double-stack drum with a 35.6 cm long barrel and an overall length of 61 cm.

(Right now, there's a wide variance in the effectiveness of your foreign intelligence agents, which suggests a need for more effective mentorship and information transfer from the more successful ones to the less successful ones. Formalizing a training program means institutionalizing the knowledge of your best agents (with a focus on industrial espionage in Japan) should go a long way toward delivering more reliable results. Of course, industrial espionage may not be as glamorous as the political and military games the CIA and KGB played. Still, it's easier and has a better long-term payoff for the nation. Furthermore, narrowing the focus to Japan due to proximity, an abundance of high-tech industry, and ease of letting your agents blend into the population allows us to get the most optimal results for the effort invested.)

-[] Rationalize the Language (Mega-Project - 0/5 Actions) (+2 Chinese Opinion) (-5 People's Opinion)
(Gunagchow is an unholy combination of Chinese and Japanese, with enough loan words from Korean and Malay to make up a non-trivial portion of the overall syntax and more exceptions than English. And it's written with Hanzi characters that often don't match their Mandarin counterparts, and never mind that the grammar and word construction don't always line up. Even before the systematic destruction of the island's infrastructure by the IJN air raids, literacy in Guangchou was among the lowest in the Asia-Pacific - mainly because the language was simply a massive headache to learn. Before establishing a robust schooling system, we have a golden opportunity to correct this and grant the nation a competitive advantage in international relations in the future. Guangchou will be rationalized and streamlined to make it easy to understand, pronounce, write, and read.)

MOTHERF-
You used 16 Actions total, didn't ya?
Shit. Fuck. Mixed Fabrics.

*Bashes head agains the wall while looking at all the options again with a -2 malus.*

What? No? I'm talking about talking to Hua and figuring out the whole... China partition thing and how we're gonna intervene in the civil war.

edit: There's an update titled 'Chinese Dissasembly' but it doesn't actually... talk about it?

So we need to help Mali now, with Benin not far behind. What else should be high priority here?

Iran. It's a big fish, and it staying red would be huge for us. I'd actually argue for sending aid to Iran now and Benin next turn.

Should we not start building a Navy sometime soon?

Yes, in an ideal world. In practice, the Airy provides a good defensive umbrella, so the Navy hasn't been as high on the list of priorities. Something to work on towards the end of the plan.
 
Preliminary plan:

[] Plan: Beans, Bullets, and Bandages

-[] Light Industry
--[] Pharmaceuticals Plant (+2 Reputation) (Bonus: + 2 Focus + 1 PttF = +3 Total)


The Pharma plant is there because it's got positive rep and it help with healthcare so we can take advantage of those juicy boni.

--[] Medical Imaging Plant (-1 Rep) (Bonus: +2 Electronics + 2 Focus + 1 PttF = +5 Total)

X-rays and ultrasound machines are both very useful non-invasive medical imaging systems that are well understood, stand to benefit from Mingxiang's electronics focus, and will help with our healthcare situation. At -1 rep, it's a steal.

[] Agri-, And Aquaculture
--[] Expand Crop Breeding Programs (Medicinal) (+4 Reputation) (Helpful) (Bonus: 1 PttF = + 2 Focus +1 TffF = +3 Total)


Originally this was gonna be a Mosquito eradication program, but we could really, really use the positive rep gain and I checked with HC that we can use it to breed better medicinal plants and pharmacological precursors. Also the idea of us breeding better weed for medicinal CBD is deeply funny.

--[] Vaccination Campaign (Disease) (Extremely Helpful)
---[] Domestic Production And Doctors (-5 Reputation) (Bonus: + 2 Focus + 1 PttF = +3 Total)


Second verse same as the first. Thankfully it's gotten cheaper since last time.

-[] Political
--[] Found Department of Public Health (-4 Reputation) (-8 People's Opinion) (Bonus: + 2 Focus + 1 PttF = +3 Total)


It's on our list of promises. It's not too expensive, and we should do it while we have that +2 Focus bonus.

[] Secret Projects
-[] Develop Native Supercomputer (Mega-Project - 3/3 Actions) (-8 Reputation) (-6 People's Opinion) (Bonus: +2 Electronics + 2 Focus + 1 PttF = +5 Total)


The -8 Rep is an ouchie, but we really need to do this earlier rather than later to reap the benefits and.

-[] CyPac
--[] Industrial Aid - (Mongolia, Iraq, Tanzania) (FREE ACTION) (Bonus: 1 PttF = +1 Total)
--[] Famine Relief - Mali (
URGENT) (Bonus: 1 PttF = +1 Total)
--[] Military Intervention - Iran (Optional: Volunteer Forces) (+1 Reputation) (Bonus: 1 PttF = +1 Total)


We promised industrial aid, famine relief is just the right thing to do, and I went with Iran because it's just more strategically important than Benin - we'll send them stuff next turn. A sparse crop of Rep from CyPac this turn, but there's nothing to be done about it.
