I've found a guy who seems to know his ♥♥♥♥ he's gonna work on making the army costs not so unbalanced. So for now don't get too much into making armies as the cot are likely to change.

He's "Because why not" btw - the USA player

In the past the USA and UK have been the greatest of friends assisting each other in every matter and ensuring the greater strength of both parties however the powers of adminchoice fate have changed that.

However no longer will the USA and the UK be held apart from each other by fate's gruel twist. Today the two nations have officially reopened their alliance.

Although most of the terms of the alliance were fairly standard the following two points are especially interesting.

First : The US will have access to bases in the UK, thereby allowing it greater ability to project power.
Second : both countries agree that the alliance will only be called upon in the case of a clear threat to the national security of either nation, this is to avoid the countries being called into various policing and other intervening combats.

The US military is a force that is dedicated to the tasks of

• The defence of the US, its possessions, its people, areas that constitute direct threats to the US' safety such as the US Coast.
  
• The ensuring of international human rights and international law.
  
• To act as a humanitarian force when called upon to do as such.

In order to achieve these goals the US military is the best funded military in the world with a massive navy and air force that act as force multipliers to the US army.

US doctrine holds that due to the American geopolitical situation the US should focus its energies into naval and air dominance as there is not a power on the American continent who poses a reasonable threat to the American people in addition to the generally friendly terms these nations are on with the US.

OOC before I show the actual stuff I should say I was unsure of the nature of the numbers given for GDP and soldier costs, more specifically the application of the divide by 1000 thing, however seeing as this is present in both areas where costs are provided the effect will not exist, unless the two should be handled differently. The effect of this is however that militaries are ridiculiously cheap, I am using only 4% of my budget for mine and yet I am able to afford 10 supercarriers. my suggestion would be the addition of 1 or two zeros to all units costs. as well as 60k planes. I considered actually just using the /1000 thing on just one of them , but then what happens is that I can't afford 2 supercarriers with all of my GDP. Especially the divisions need to be more expensive I went ahead and increased the costs of all my land units 500x as otherwise it would be simple ridiculious

US Navy
The US navy is the chief force for defence and power projection available to the US and as such is the most powerful naval force in the world being not only very advanced and well funded but also large and experienced. Its chief strategic concerns are the naval powers of China and Russia, and it eclipses both of these in size and technology. It consists of two main tactical groups Carrier Groups(CG) and Marine Expeditionary Forces(MEF)A carrier group is designed for larger operations and sea supremacy it consists of
• 1xSupercarrier
  
• 1xguided missile cruiser
  
• 2xguided missile destroyers
  
• 4xdestroyers
  
• 2xcorvettes
  
• 2xattack submarines
  
• 1xnuclear powered submarines
The US currently operates 10 CGs with 5 on each coast. Bringing the total costs of these beasts to 293 Million. A MEF is a smaller force dedicated to humanitarian relief, assisting CG's and providing fire support to smaller military operations, they are incapable of sustaining independent operations against larger naval forces but will be capable of dealing with the navies of third world countries. it consists of
• 1xHelicopter Carrier
  
• 4*Guided Missile Destroyers
The US currently operates 9 MEFs for a total cost of 77 million The total cost of the US navy is approximately 370 Million
US Airforce
The US airforce's primary objective is and always will be to maintain airsuperiority and as such it has a very high proportion of fighters with comparatively fewer bombers and transports. However like the navy the airforce has no shortage of fighters and as such is still known for the massive amounts of firepower it can bring to bear as well as the impressive logistical abilities it wields as well as a focus on advanced quality fighters over quantity. In total the Airforce has a budget of $200 million.https://gyazo.com/ef7de7b0ba29260bebf8aad5df164785 if anyone knows how to directly put in an image I would appreciate.
US army
The US army is the smallest of the branches but it is still quite powerful. Being fully aware of the fact that it will always have to fight across oceans it is geared towards rapid deployment and sustained operations.it has a budget of approximately $75,325,000https://gyazo.com/ead74b37c90dd816a5ff1faccaaca956The budget as a whole has a 67000 surplus. So after doing this I decided to make another set that would work under the assumption the GDP should be divided by 1000 and not the unit costs, however as of this moment laziness has hit so it will merely be a picture. I anxiously await an admin to tell me what assumption I should use, or better yet an admin to rebalance the numbers, if the admin doesnt want to do this himself, I am willing to do this, if I do it myself I will be making use of real life militaries and spending to gauge what the numbers should be in order to achieve maximum realism in military sizes. I also suggest given various countries traits that adjust certain prices to encourage them to focus their efforts in the right areas. OK I started with that but then realised that it would be impossible to build a decent navy.

The Italian President has reached his term limit, and instead of stepping down, to the plans of il Partito Democratico, he has insisted that he will rerun once again. Instead of bringing all democrats together like il Partito Democratico had planned, il Popolo della Libertà has denounced Giorgio's rerun. This split between the Left-Wing Coalition, has spurred the Italian nation. With the presidential elections nearing, a split like this is bad for the Left-Wing coalition, which has never lost an election to its Right-Wing counterparts. With many youth flocking to il Movimento 5 Stelle, the numbers are now looking more towards the underdog party. With around half a year until the general election is done, il Partito Democratico which seemed like it would win the General Elections for the Senate and Chamber, it is now projected to only get 30% of the seats, for both the Senate and the Chamber, which would still have them win, but no longer a majority.

With the Syrian Civil War picking up, and the Iraqi War going worse and worse, migrants have begun trying to escape to Italy by boat. With this new surge, the question has come up, with what will happen to the migrants. This has become a major debate point in Italy, especially with the uncertainty of these migrants, if they work for a growing organization know as AQI better known as ISIS or if they work for Al Qaeda. The Left-Wing supporters believe we should help, while the Right-Wing want us to limit the amount we take in, making sure Italians come first. The Future is uncertain, but hopefully the wars in the Middle-East will slow down so the issue of new immigration policies don't need to be at the forefront.

Following the criticism David Cameron and Nick Clegg have received for their administration so far since 2010, an MP from East Norfolk has began a massive civil war within the coalition and the Conservative party.

Harvey Beaumont, former Lord was discharged from the Chamber after New Labour's reforms in 1999. He didn't stand for re-appointment as it always went to the richest Lords - not the most well spoken ones. Beaumont had always been critical of the two party system and of the flaws of only ever having two choices. In his time as Lord he had many offers from both Labour and the Tories to join the ranks but Beaumont remained a staunch crossbencher. After his career in the House of Lords ended he retreated to his home town of Lowestoft in East Anglia. There be adopted a social life but also a political one. He bean by becoming a councilman and soon he was head of the local council. From there he decided the only way he could fully express his views was in the House of Commons. He signed up as a conservative candidate and in 2010 he won the Great Yarmouth constituency by a small majority. While he was a Tory MP, he was clearly an outlier in Cameron's ranks. This is one of the reasons why despite his great deal of experience, he was not offered a cabinet position.

Now Beaumont stands for a new policy - something he calls Active Centrism. Not only standing between the left and right but actively promoting a more free and democratic choice. Many Tories have began secretly supporting him after his first 'outrageous speech' in the Commons. However, unsurprisingly most of his support came form the Liberal Democrats. Some Lib Dem MPs felt that the Cameron-Clegg alliance ruined the centrist values the Lib Dems once represented.

This was all guess work until today when Beaumont declared "The Centrist Union". Not quite a party but an alliance of all centrist MPs. Quickly some labour MPs who stood by Blaire began also supporting Beaumont.

Beaumont's success also reaches beyond parliament. His loud, humorous and charismatic speeches attract both young and old. Beaumont makes the people realise how much they really dislike only ever having two options calling it "either picking a kick in the arse or a slap in the face". He claims the only right choice for Britain to move forward is to abandon its old political system and adopt a new one and that that will be his first priority once the Union is finalised.

What will this mean for the fragile Cameron-Clegg coalition? How many MPs will join Beaumont? Will the Tories loose their majority? All is uncertain.
