The Iron Curtain: A Cold War NRP

AegonVI said
But now, Mr. Truman, to the point of the matter. In hopes to realize the goal above (preventing economic stagnation and another horrifying war), I ask for the assistance of the United States. I, in Brazil will work on creating the Patriotism needed for a common purpose, if the United States could aid Brazil in the industrialization process.
I understand such a plan would be a massive investment for the United States. Brazil would need technology, and scientists, and engineers, and money couldn’t possibly hurt. But I feel such a passion that the success of this could help bring lasting democracy to a majority of South America, if not the entirety of the Americas together. I believe it could then serve as a model to countries in Asia, who are more directly under the threat of communism. Eventually, the whole world could be shown the power of industrial capitalism.

President Dutra,

I warmly received your letter some days ago, but waited until I had something concrete to offer before replying. With the Marshall Plan in effect in Europe, our monetary support can not be as large as we, or possibly you, would like, but my economic advisers have spoken to several leading captains of American industry about the possibility of launching a delegation to Brazil. This delegation would meet with you and your ministers and survey the countryside. Their purpose would be to find places to build and expand current Brazilian industry. Factories manned by Brazilian workers producing goods for all the rest of the world, goods stamped with the logo "Made in Brazil". With American money and industrial might we can create an economically strong and viable Brazil. With the troubling news coming from Cuba, now more than ever the Americas, both North and South, should stand united as partners in freedom and industry.

Yours truly,
Harry S Truman

Summary
-- US pledges minor foreign aid, but a much larger increase in foreign industrial investment in Brazil.

I'm afraid we've had someone already express interest in Treasury Secretary.

Wernher: 2
Mr. Shoe: 3

Whoops, sorry about that. With China and Cuba and even Italy, it kind of got lost in the shuffle. I'll get to it as soon as possible.

I went ahead and compiled a Supreme Court for use in the game. With both presidential candidates hovering around moderate, I compiled a moderate to liberal court.

Supreme Court

Current lineup, tenure, and political leanings:

Chief Justice Emmerson Finley (20 years), liberal
Samuel Irving (25 years), conservative
John Everard (22 years) liberal
William Jeffrey (19 years) moderate, slightly leaning liberal
Jessica Edison (15 years) moderately liberal
Robert Alberto (12 years) conservative
Miriam Humphrey (10 years) conservative
Jacob Jordan (8 years) liberal
Edna Dixon (2 years) moderate, slightly leaning conservative

How much they'll feature into the game, I'm not sure at this point, but I wanted my bases covered.

You should still vote. But just remember to choose carefully. Gotta play the game and remember this sagely proverb: Be careful of the toes you step on today because they may be connected to the ass you have to kiss tomorrow.
