 * Co-opted Stats**

MIL: 3 1. Will go to the PSA and train the PSA military. It won't engage Tamoachan forces, but it will make some very heavily fortified camps near the border. They should be prepared for a Tamoachan attack, and if the Tamoachan don't attack them then the camps should serve as mobilization point from which to launch a counter invasion.
 * Actions**

ECO: 5 2. All of this will go into building new military equipment.

ESP: 13 1. Will go into the Andean Union and help my morale campaign work out the best way to convince the Andean People that a unification is a good thing. Since they only have 2 morale any extra goes into their other related stats, like TEC and ECO. Everything should be above board and legal.

TEC: 8 1. Everything will continue to go towards the nanotechnology project. As before Project Earth should still be helping. The Andean Union also said they would help with this.

MOR: 8 1. My propaganda ministry will put together the campaign to target the Andean Union and convince them to support the merger. Their work will be precisely targeted by the information the agents send back along demographic lines. As a note some of this campaign will go into the Southern Federation as well, so that it doesn't look like I'm specifically targeting the Andean Union, even though I am, but the majority of the campaign will focus on the Union. If anyone asks its for the very valid point that the Southern Federation has four times the approval rating of the Andean Union so the people here don't really need any convincing that the government knows what its talking about.

REP: 4 1. The Tamoachan is evil, evil I say. A threat to all right thinking people everywhere. And my diplomats are going to make sure that other countries know it. The evidence gathered that Tamoachan was behind the Andean Union's rebellions will be shown to anyone interested as well the immediate attack by Tamoachan forces in support of the "rebels". This will be immediately followed by references to the riots in Panama and Mexican PSA. Many knowing and meaningful looks will be given at this point, although my diplomats won't come out and say that the Tamoachan were behind the PSA rebellions, their meaning should be clear. The goal of this is to reduce the Tamoachan reputation to zero and see who would be willing to ally against them given that they've aggressively attacked people, and instigated two wars in just a few years.

Misc. The UK said they would be passing along the **Hypereux** meta material technology for free. In exchange for future aid.

In the case of the UK vs Project Utopia the Southern Federation rules. 1. Genocide against a civilian population (Guilty) 2. Brainwashing their population and being an illegitimate government (Not Guilty and this is not something an international court should be ruling on.) 3. Crimes against Peace (We require evidence as to whether or not the Utopia Project indeed signed the peace treaty before we can rule.) 4. //Environmental crimes (Not guilty by fact that this is not a war crime.)//

//**Response**// MIL: 4 ECO: 5 ESP: 13 TEC: 8 MOR: 8 REP: 4

Northern Intervention: The arrival of military forces from the Southern Federation and Andean Union would be a heavensend to the People’s States of America, which had just received word of its terrible failure to crush Tamoanchan at Yuma. Together, they would train the seed of a new army for the PSA, to replace the one lost in the south. [PSA gains 1 MIL, co-opted by Southern Federation]

In the Southern Federation as well, a military expansion was in progress. The purchase of military equipment to further the modernization and improvement of the armed forces would lead to significant improvements in its effectiveness. [Southern Federation gains 1 MIL]

The Southern Federation, Andean Union, and Project Earth continue work on the nanotechnology project, developing mass-production nanites as well as working on improving their capability for fine manipulation and programming. The Southern Federation and Andean Union largely contribute technology; Project Earth contributes significant technical expertise as well, but additionally provides industrial power that is, to a degree, premature given the state of the project, but nonetheless is somewhat useful in prototyping. Nonetheless, progress is favorable, and a breakthrough in mass-production basic nanites is expected.

The Andean Union: The propaganda blitz in the Andean Union went off like a charm. Popular support in the Andean Union has tremendously increased for pan-Andean unity between the four nations of Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, and Peru. [Southern Federation co-opts 2 MOR, 3 REP, 4 ECO. 50% threshold reached] Southern Federation: 13 ESP, 8 MOR (97) Andean: 2 MOR (11; -2 Tacit government support)

The Evils of Tamoanchan: Your propaganda campaign against Tamoanchan is just as effective, with significant support gained from several American nations. In particular, the CSA is amenable to your cause. [Tamoanchan loses 1 REP] Southern Federation: 4 REP (15) Tamoanchan: 1 REP (2)

British Tech Trade: You receive Metamaterials I from the British, who purchased it from Technorapture. [Britain, Southern Federation gain Metamaterials I.]

The Utopia Trial: [spoiler]Amurian Technocracy: Guilty on count 1. Not guilty on counts 2 or 4. Abstain on count 3. Australia: Guilty on all counts. African Cradle: Guilty on counts 1 and 4. Not guilty on counts 2 and 3, due to British provocations, but with concerns about the degree of response. Lunar Empire: Abstain on all counts (no vote cast) Project Earth: Guilty on all counts. Southern Federation: Guilty on count 1. Not Guilty on count 2 and 4, concerning the lack of any previous definition of these as war crimes to be posed before an international tribunal. Abstain on count 3, pending evidence of whether or not a peace treaty was signed. Technorapture: Guilty on counts 1, 3, and 4. Not guilty on count 2.

Count 1: Genocide against a Civilian Population: [b]GUILTY[/b] (6/7, 1 abstentions) Count 2: Brainwashing their Population, Illegitimacy of Governance: [b]NOT GUILTY[/b] (2/7 ,1 abstentions) Count 3: Crimes against Peace, Perfidy: [b]NOT GUILTY[/b] (3/7, 3 abstentions) Count 4: Environmental Crimes: [b]NOT GUILTY[/b] (4/7, 1 abstentions)

The leadership of Project Utopia is therefore found guilty of genocide against the British population.[/spoiler]

The Andean also reports that they have received the second half of the payment from Tamoanchan.[/QUOTE]

Based on what I learned last turn I believe I am now co-opting ~60% of the Andean Union's stats. Does that get me any better of an idea of what their actual stats are? Also I noticed I that I co-opted their reputation as well. Will that add directly to my own reputation if I co-opt them.

What does Metamaterials I actually do?[/QUOTE] Sure, sure. MIL: 2 ECO: 7 ESP: 4 TEC: 3 MOR: 2 REP: 3

Co-opted MOR and REP do not directly add to the stats gained, but assist in the final push for take-over, and may interfere with the post-annexation situation if you don't take them.

Sorry, I did neglect to mention that. Metamaterials are a class of materials with various unusual refractive properties stemming from their structure, the most pertinent of which right now are a negative refractive index. In effect, they're what the Hypereux League used to create their "perfect" stealth suits; built like Hypereux did, they literally bend light around their contents across a narrow band of wavelengths (say, barely the visible spectrum).
