Only the recent posters are shown there though, so you might have to find it by the standard route if the person you're trying to find isn't there. |

The Skagerrak Strait is further strengthened by mines, and because it's pretty narrow, its defence is already pretty strong combined with our previous improvements. The improvement of the defense of eastern Mediterranean (particularly the Aegean Sea and the entrance of the Suez Canal) as well as the Persian Gulf also continues with mines and the like.

Comrades! Our new economic plan, proposed by by the Gosplan and approved by the newly formed Council of Economy and Labor, is started. We've already improved our economy significantly, which was already at the top along with the US, and our new territories and their natural resources also significantly help our efforts.
The improvement of heavy industry continues. We'll focus our new factories on the east of Moscow and around the Urals, most of which having been already moved there during WW2. We'll also invest in infrastructure to improve the quality of life and quicken future military movements. On the political front, the Stakhanovite movement is emphasized to increase productivity. Students under Komsomol are encouraged to help the economy by volunteering, which also helps the development of the economy by increasing manpower.
Everything combined, our economy will continue to develop even further, improving our position as a superpower.
The Soviet Union, and our beloved Red Flag, the banner of workers' liberation, marches ever onwards! Workers of the world, unite!

Only for AlphaGreetings, my East German comrade!
Our cooperation against the capitalist powers so far has benefitted both of us greatly. The imperialist forces wants to divide your country, and to defeat them, you need our support. If we combine our powers together under the banner of the WTO, no one can stand against us. Together with our Vietnamese comrades, as the members of the WTO, we can liberate the workers of every country, finally igniting the world revolution.
Therefore, we want to assure you of our wish to continue our cooperation and alliance, and ensure that you wish the same too. We, the socialists, have no option but to look out for each other on this struggle against the bourgeoisie. We're stronger when we're united. We also want to offer you a new treaty of friendship, economic cooperation amd military alliance.
Yours truly,
- The ambassador of the Soviet Union |

Only for Theron of AcragasHello again, my Mongolian friend! Now that the UK, France and East Germany are back on the international arena, world tensions will likely rise soon. In this era of uncertainties, we wish to ensure that our nations are still on the same path on this international struggle against the bourgeoisie and the imperialist forces. The friendship of our nations have greatly helped us both so far, and it can only get better now that new threats are on the rise. We, the socialists, have no option but to cooperate if we want to defeat the capitalist powers and bring the victory of the proletariat. Yours truly, - The leader of the Soviet Union and the leader of the international proletariat's struggle against the bourgeoisie, Comrade Eugene V. Debs |

Debs , From the immortal Chinggis Khan to Comrade Yevgeny Debs, greeting.
We also wish for continued and mutually beneficial cooperation. At this point, we believe the cause of socialism can be effectively furthered by Soviet investment in the Mongolian economy - specifically, assistance in extension of the Naushka-Ulanbataar railroad to the Chinese border and investment in industrialization. In addition to other benefits, economic growth and employment opportunities will enable us to bring in even more Mongolians from the Chinese-occupied territories. If we can reach an agreement, you will not find us ungrateful when my warriors ride beside yours in the day of battle.
I salute you, dear neighbor.

- Chinggis Khan Only for Theron of AcragasThat is not only reasonable, but also inevitable. Because you're a member of the WTO, you'll of course get the benefits of it. The Comecon will immediately start preparing a developmental aid plan for you. Once you recruit enough people and ensure the defense of your glorious fatherland, you might perhaps consider forming an Expeditionary Force, similar to the International Brigades, to be able to actively affect international events. Under your noble leadership, Mongolia can, and will, take back the place it rightfully deserves in the international arena.
There are many countries yet to be liberated, and many more glories of war to add to your already endless list, Comrade Chinggis Khan. The proletariat of the world awaits for us. Let's show those capitalist pigs what happens if they mess with our comrades, shall we? |

Our production will be changed to 950 fighters and 800 bombers per page starting from the next one.

Seeing that we won't be able to return to our homeland for a long time, we decide to say a farewell of sorts to our country. Using pirate radio stations on the Norweigan-Swedish border, we play the national anthem for the last time on the major radio channels...
Thou old, thou free, thou mountain-high north
Thou quiet, thou joyful beauty!
I greet thee, loveliest land upon Earth,
Thy sun, thy sky, thy green landscapes.
Thou art enthroned upon memories of great days of yore,
When honoured thy name flew across the Earth,
I know that thou art are and remainest what thou werest,
Yes, I want to live, I want to die in the North
Länge leve Sverige! Länge leve kungen!

The previous focus on the motherland on the party rhetoric will be balanced with a new focus on internationalism, based on the principle that the proletariat belongs to no country. We won't neglect proletarian internationalism as our previous leaders did. We're not the empire of Russians, we're the international union of the socialist countries, of the free world, and a beacon of light for the workers of every country.
To support this, we encourage different nationalities for important positions, instead of one gaining advantage just because of their vast population. From each according to their ability, regardless of their nationality.

Mongolia, with Soviet aid, invests significantly in economic development. The railroad connecting Ulaanbaatar to the Soviet rail system will be extended to the Chinese border, opening up new trading opportunities. Mining of natural resources begins (notably coal and copper). Factories are built, as are schools with Chinese and Soviet support. Economic aid and development lead to a substantial increase in standard of living and job opportunities. This leads to further immigration of ethnic Mongols. The available manpower increases by 10,000 per page for the next 10 pages.
Edit: additionally, Mongolia changes its military production to focus on tanks instead of artillery, using technology shared by the Soviet Union.

Let's show those capitalist pigs what happens if they mess with our comrades, shall we? Only for Eugene V. Debs, I estimate my absolute maximum available manpower as 300,000, increasing to 400,000 over the next ten pages. About the only way I can increase that is by stealing from China (fortunately, in 1950 and still today, there are more Mongolians in China than in Mongolia). My treaty with China makes that easy, but at some point they might get mad (and also I think I've just about reached the limit of of what I can reasonably steal). I have very little equipment in 1950 - both tanks and aircraft are limited to a handful of outdated Soviet types.
I have 100,000 men mobilized already. If you agree they can be stationed in the Soviet Union to be equipped and train together with WTO forces. I also have plenty of horses, and to a lesser degree camels, that can be placed at the service of our allies. |

Only for Theron of AcragasThat's still a pretty good amount, so don't worry (btw, roleplaying aside, that's really interesting, I didn't know that). I'll send officers to assist in training and improve military education for your own officers. As for equipment, I've already sent those that we no longer need, however, we'll naturally help you produce modernized ones as well.
Btw, you've been producing artillery according to your last statement for around 22 pages. How much a factory produces per page or such aren't pre-determined, they're determined by the players themselves, historical examples, and just common sense. So, let's say, if you can initially produce 80 per page, you'd have around 1760 guns right now. |

The Supreme Soviet approves a proposal to reform our criminal justice system. In the capitalist world, the convicts are sent to rot in the prisons, alienated from the rest of the society, which is harmful both for the individual and the community. However, the gulag system has also become so repressive that it needs to be reformed. Therefore, the punitive system is reformed to a more humanitarian one, with convicts being sent to do community work, thereby replacing the original workers. In connection with this, death penalty is almost entirely abolished except the gravest crimes.
This now unemployed workforce will be used in heavy industry instead, increasing our military production by 50, which we'll use for fighters.

Apologies for the historical nitpick, but it's worth noting that the Gulag camps weren't really a vast untapped resource, nor were they extermination camps equivalent to Nazi concentration camps, like people in the west usually think. They were in fact a fairly well organized and effective labor force, employed notably in logging, construction and mining, but also in many other professions. If you use them to free up workers for the arms industry, it will have other impacts on your economy. |
