The Spectre's Interest Check

I have added in a new plot and going to add more soon. Plus, I am still looking for people.

Point of No Return (Extreme Great Depression Alternate History)

I might do the British Empire or Korea. I don't know which one to do.

Era of Succession(Closed)

Ylont, Republic of Echua, Ⱥthistan ℱederation
The capital city of Ylont was the birthplace of the automobile and the arms industry. The World War made sure that Ylont would become one of the richest cities in the world. During the war, the industrial city begun to produce weapons and bullets from other nations while being neutral in the war. The city was the richest in the world while the war was going on until the incident happened that ended the war. The automobile industry kept the city for declining and the industry still remained in Ylont to this day. Many biotech companies that specialize in human augmentations are coming to the city in hopes of making a profit. The Age of Enhancements is getting started.

With more biotech companies coming to the city, the Federation became more interested in the concept of expanding beyond the planet and the system. The concept started years ago with the approval to build the first ever space station. Since the years have passed by, the space station is almost done ahead of schedule. The Federation planned to move their headquarters of the station as a neutral ground for the nations to discuss. Even with the stations in place, it would need military protection to ensure the safety of government officials. Thanks to several nations, they were able to build a fleet that contained several fighters, four destroyers, and one carrier and battleship in eight years. They were able to transport workers and resources towards the location of the space station.

A couple dozen transports were also built for military troops and government officials to transport them to the station. When the station was a couple days towards completion, everyone started to prepare for the trip. The media have reported on the story for days and everyone awaited the opening of the station.

When the day arrived, the government officials began their trip towards the station. Drones, that were used by the media, were already on board the station to prepare for the grand opening. Millions of people watched their televisions to view the space station for the first time as the officials were setting foot on the station for the first time. Most of the government official were pleased with the station as they were walking to the meeting room. Some weren't excited with the station and one called the place “a waste of valuable resources”.

The space station will not only serve as the headquarters to the Federation, but as a military base and a laboratory. It will bring in about ten thousand jobs; however, it will cost about 18.5 billion Athies to manage this place. The station will also offer tours to the citizens around the station and give them a beautiful closeup of their world. The tours will be cost around thirty dollars per person. The station will be named after Abrik Talot, one of the founding members of the Federation and thirty-fifth president of Aclana.

The Abrik Talot Space Station, Ⱥthistan ℱederation
The meeting room was already packed with all fifty leaders of various countries awaiting for the discussion to start. The discussion was about whether the Federation should consider traveling beyond the system and start researching into fast-than-light travel. The majority of countries were in agreement that space travel needed to happen, but the few rejected that space travel was a necessity to the Federation. The few leaders that rejected believed in Tutrix.

Tutrix was the goddess that poisoned her entire family as they became 'corrupt for ruining their perfect image'. The family wasn't always corrupted as they have successfully controlled Athistan while people were living their lives. Before the modern age, they were technologically advanced and kept it to themselves. At first, they were using it for the greater good of the planet until nanotech was introduced. The men were the first to use nanotech, then the women, and the children were the last ones. When it was Tutrix's turn to accept the nanotech into her body, she rejected it and said that it was corrupting the entire family line, but they banished her away from their home. However, she killed them all before leaving and entering beyond Athistan.

The religion gained popularity a few years ago as nanotech augmentations spread like wildfire all over Athistan. Fifteen percent of the population had augmentations and the numbers are growing higher and higher. Recently, the Federation voted that augmentations of any kind are fine despite several nations rejecting the matter. They stated that augmentations are going to ruin the body by making it too perfect and destroying their souls in the process. Then, the terror attacks begun at Cago during a busy day at the downtown area. Cago has the highest population of people with augmentations in the world, reaching around forty-four percent. One hundred and ten people died on that day among with three hundred injured.

The end result of the discussion was that the Federation would consider studying fast-than-light travel and then sending it to an unknown location, where the crew inside would keep contact of the researchers in the space station. While the Federation ensures the citizens that the planet will always come first. The few countries weren't happy with the results of today's discussion as they voiced their concerns for the future. King Amir Gebreselassie of Fusheaya said that the future will bring “horrible consequences” to the Federation.

Research Outpost, Classified Location, Ⱥthistan ℱederation
It wasn't the Federation's first time being out of space. Before the space station was finished, the Federation agreed in private to build an outpost. The outpost was built to research the nearby planets, their moons, and the other systems. The general public doesn't know about the outpost and only top ranking members are informed of the outpost. Everyone understood why they have to keep this location a secret from everyone, including other leaders. If this outpost was found out by any of the fifty members, the result would be disastrous.

The outpost only housed forty-eight people in total: twenty-eight scientists, ten guards, five mechanics, three planetary scientists, and two astronomers. These people signed an agreement that they don't share the outpost and leave it unless it's a major emergency. If the outpost is under attack, the crew must remain at the outpost and signal to the Federation. And if one of them manages to escape the outpost, then they will be hunted and killed. Their families and friends didn't know about the outpost.

The scientists were studying the nearby asteroid belt for anything valuable to report to the Federation. One of them was looking at the sensor in case something would be hiding inside the belt. “That can't be right...” the man said as he collected the data from the sensor. It had found something. This immediately worried everyone on-board the outpost and questioned what they should do. After fifteen minutes of debating, they came with the idea to send out a single research with a crew of eight sciencists on board a research ship. Picking the eighth to send was the most difficult decision they ever had to make. After another fifteen minutes of picking and boarding the ship, they left the outpost and headed towards the unknown object.

The remaining crew guessed that the object would be a scouting outpost for aliens and they were going to use it as a base to launch an invasion on Athistan. As the research ship got closer to the location, the crew was getting more fearful of a possible simulation that eight lives would be lost at any moment. They kept in contact of the eight for a long time until they reached the location.

“Oh my god...” one of them said then suddenly the connection was cut from the research ship. The outpost was now in panic mode as many of them tried to reestablishment connection with the ship.”Pick up, please.” the scientist repected for a couple minutes as the others were checking if anything else appeared on the sensors. It took almost an hour before connections were reestablished with the ship. “What the fuck happened?!” the scientist asked towards the crew of eight inside the ship.

“We had to go into the belt, because we found something huge.” one of the scientists quickly responded to the question. “We found a huge satellite that crashed in one of the asteroids.” They didn't know anything about the satellite besides having an unknown symbol with alien language written below:

Ⱥthistan ℱederation

Government
Athistan contains fifty-eight nations and each of them is in the Federation. It was founded after the Qihona Incident caused the Terror to abruptly end. The nations formed the Federation to ensure their citizens that the world can move on from the incident and rebuild towards a better future. Each nations government votes on matters that gets the Federation's attention. The votes are then courted and the results are the answers to the matter.

When it's time to elect a leader, the nations must send a candidate with the necessary skills to meet. Then, the citizens vote on which candidate should be president of the Federation after weeks of campaigning.

Leader
President Roshawna of Yoskuevania

Persons of Importance
King Quandell of the United Kingdom of Stuacia
Prime Minister Afework of Osnela
President Zelalem Nebiyou of Republic of Echua

Species
The Acelop are bipedal, humanoid, reptillian inhabitants of Athistan. Their most prominent features are their horns, which are unique to every indiviudal and help cool them with two fin-like ears present just below them, shielded from the Sun's heat by the horns themselves, probably evolved while the species lived further sunward on their respective continents. The species has three bone-like digits on their fairly blocky hands, connected to a fairly muscular arm about the same thickness.

They also possess specialized, self-collapsing ribs that protect their four lungs, made to allow the species to be drenched in water for an extended period, a relic of the species past that serves them to this day. They are cold-blooded, as are their cousins on Earth, which grants them a significant advantage in the hot regions of the planet (virtually everywhere that's not above 60°C). Their skin is made out of miniature scales aligned in what acts as a suit of armor for the species, making further protection unnecessary until recently.

The Xreihz are also humanoid, but they aren't reptillian and bipedal. Their body is able to handle hot regions of the planet and can move faster than the Acelop. The eyes are either blue or grey because of the atmosphere that affects them more. That doesn't mean that they are blind, even known a small percentage can become blind at any given time, and can see better and more clearer than the average Acelop. And they are think faster and react quicker, useful during combat or stressful simulations.

Their skins are darker because of the amount of heat that they have to deal with daily.

Demographics
60% Acelop
40% Xreihz

Religion Description and Demographics
The Federation doesn't have an official religion, but it does endorse popular and well-known religions.

Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat

@Shyri, I understand. Take all of the time you need. It isn't like anyone else that doesn't know what PoW is are waiting like the rest of us.

Now that I am thinking about it, do you think that the mod would become popular on steam and the paradox forum (if you guys are planning to release it to the public)?

Good thing that I got Hearts of Iron IV during the summer sale. Now, I can expand the Netherlands into Belgium and get back my colonies from Japan without breaking any rules on here.
