The year is 2025, due to overpopulation and lack of resources the Second Cold War has been going on for the last decade. After the dissolution of the UN in 2018, there was a period of chaos. With the lack of a Security Council, many nations began forming smaller alliances and conflict ensued. In the year of 2023, many larger nations joined to together to form the International Coalition with the purpose of restoring peace. The Coalition adopted ruthless policies to bring back the reign of peace, forcing nations to join or face annexation.
Most major countries have collapsed due to resource problems and overpopulation. Mexico, Central America, most of Africa, and the Former Soviet Block have all disappeared in the wake of crisis.
Resource wars have sprung up around the globe, with smaller nations fighting over valuable resources such as oil. Many larger more advanced nations have begun a new space race, racing to the discovery of faster-than-light travel so they can colonize new worlds for resources. It has been pretty quiet for the past year, but tensions are rising.
OOC: We will take turns posting our moves, after everyone makes a move I will post the outcomes of each move. Posts should be structured like this:

[//Nation Background]
The Democratic Republic of Dourterk formed from what remained of the American Government in the aftermath of WWII. The war decimated the American economy and divided the nations government, causing the government to dissolve in 1949. The remainder of the government moved to what was then Orlando, Florida, and established the Dourterkian Republic. The capital city was renamed to Opulentia in 1965.
[//Capital City of the Republic, Opulentia]
It is midday in the city of Opulentia, and the city is hard at work. The city was once a thriving city of culture and the arts, but after years of constant conflict and wars overseas, the city has become an industrial powerhouse. The Arms Manufacturing Industry has made the city it's home, after the Government nationalized the factories that create its weapons and equipment. The city has also become the scientific center of the nation, with the space program being the highest priority.
[//Opulentia, City Outskirts]
For the last five years, the Aeronautics and Space Administration of the Republic (ASAR), has been devoting all of its resources towards building bigger and better spacecraft. The outskirts of the city has become a massive shipyard, working on building frigates and space freighters. Despite repeated attempts and research projects for the last decade, there have been no breakthroughs to faster-than-light travel. Though a small group of scientists have created a design for a Alcubierre Drive, they lack the technology to create a workable prototype.
SIC: Though they have failed to create an FTL capable ship, the entire city is prepping for the launch of the nations first combat ready space cruiser. The R.D.S Akhilles is being launched next month, the first time the nations Navy will engage in space operations.
[//Tampico Ruins, What Remains of Mexico]
SIC: Dourterkian missile silos have been under construction since the beginning of the resource wars, with their completion expected by the end of 2026. Nuclear Tests have been conducted on what remains of Mexican Cities after their residents have all left.
COSTS:
Space Budget (Commerce):
R.D.S Akhilles ~ $35 Billion per year
Research ~ $5 Billion per year
Total: $40,000,000,000
Remaining Budget this year - $91,743,572,580
Nuclear Budget (From Defense):
-Nuclear Research $20 Billion per year
-5 Nuclear Warheads - $50 Million
Total: $20,005,000,000
Remaining Budget this year - $52,690,873,655
