[X] Plan: It's (Not) The End Of the World (Yet)

Durable goods libraries will help us get more bang for our buck with our consumer goods rollout.

Even more consumer goods. Roll the dice HC and let us know what the people want.

Geothermal power plants because that bonus has been sitting there for ages, and we're about to do a lot of heavy industry work which is going to be power hungry. MSRs will fill that gap in time, but right now geothermal is what's available and won't ding our Fuel levels. Also doing two ant once lets us make better use of our bonus, I think?
--[X] Rail Development Design Project (Mega-project - 3/3) (+1 Reputation) (Reduced Actions For The Dragon Rail) (Sub Vote) (Bonus: +1 PttF)
No more delays!
We are experiencing delays.
I took out the rail stock factory and starting the Dragon rail in order to free up two actions to deal with... the time sensitive manner of the whole 'China lost some nukes' debacle. As HC confirmed on Discord, Jungmin would have reasonable cause to plan for the worst case.
The bright side of this is that the design and zoning will be done before we break ground, and the geothermal power-plants will be running so we don't risk any brownouts of production slowdowns.

--[X] National Zoning Plan (+0 Reputation) (Sub Vote) (Bonus: +1 PttF)
Land use is a huge thing for rail development, and while we're at it we may as well come up with a more general national zoning plan that will save us a headache later by planning for future growth on a longer term horizon.

We can't keep resting on our laurels here, we've got a lot of refugees coming in at the same time our enemies (and allies) have been given lots and lots of reasons to want to insert spies into Guangchou. Time to do a spring cleaning. Flush out some agents, turn a few others, keep some where they are and feed them false info, etc.

China has misplaced a number of nuclear devices that have failed to check in or be retrieved after the initial chaotic start to the fighting. There is now a none-zero chance that one of the factions involved may use one or more of these devices.
Allies forces should be forewarned and supplies for operating on a nuclear battlefield distributed.
The western powers need to also be informed, and a red phone type communication lines set up in order to ensure rapid and clear communication minimize the chance of, you know, nuclear war.
Our relief efforts should also formulate emergency plans for dealing with literal and metaphorical fallout of the use of nuclear weapons. Stockpiles of radiation poisoning medication need to be set up, and civilians educated and drilled on what to do in the event of exposure.
The focus should be on making sure that our response will be coordinated and effective.
Special forces and intelligence assets should be dispatched to reinforce efforts on the ground track down the missing warheads, and strike missions made available to promptly react to any leads.

--[X] A Red Rising (+11 Reputation) (+4 People's Opinion) (+10% CyPac Cohesion)
Financial default is no joke, and we van help multiple countries at once here while fucking with the IMF. Reputation gain from it is low, but I think it's important to start doing more than
just sponsoring revolutions.
Now... A Red Rising makes me nervous, because the US has never exactly had a sane reaction to feeling its colonial interests are threatened, but the rewards are large, ethically it would be a real dick move to leave them hanging, and frankly if the US can sponsor massacres in south east Asia, us sponsoring rebellion in south America is only fair.
We're going to have to be sneaky about it, I think our best bet will be narco torpedoes - towed submarine cargo containers filled with goods that are dragged by fishing boats and handed off in open water.
