Backstory
The year is 2016, the planet Earth is at a crucial point.
In the Levant, ISIS militants have captured half of Iraq, along with less than a third of Syria.
The War in Donbass re-ignited, following the detonation of an artillery shell, that resulted in four civilian casualties. Both the Ukrainian Government and the pro-Russian Separatists denied responsibility, but began armed hostilities immediately. The U.S and Russia have increased arms shipments in the conflict.
Houthi forces took complete control of Yemen in late 2015, despite heavy Saudi airtstrikes. Houthi leader, Abdul-Malik Badreddin, al-Houthi, reiterated the new government's support for Iran and denouncement of Israel.
Israeli-Iranian tensions have reached the breaking point. Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has accused the U.S Government, in particular, President Barack Obama, of 'blatant anti-semitism' in perceived American lenience towards Iran's nuclear program. Meanwhile, Iranian President, Hassan Rouhani's approval ratings are dismal. Former President and nationalist, Mahmoud Ahjmadinejad, is planning a bid for the Presidency and is polling exceptionally well against Rouhani.
The people of the world watch with baited breath, as their respective governments decide, Humanity's Course.

Felons who committed minor felonies are however, allowed to return following a five year waiting period.
United States: We continue air strikes on Isis positions. President Obama says "we our saddened at the Israeli claim of anti-semitism, as that does not reflect who we our." We pass legislation to improve education.

'Puppet' mod response: Even though Iraq needs all the help they can get, they refuse any help from Russia.

"Puppet" Mod response: On July the 15th, a conference was held regarding the fedralization of the Euroasian Union. The response to the conference was well met and the outcome was dicided as that member countries of the Euroasian Union would merge to become the United Republic of Euroasia.
Ukraine: As the technical revaluation accelerates, Ukraine now uses self driving cars on almost every street using AI. Crime rate is as low as about 3.5% in the whole entire country, making a new record for the country. President Tyroshenko makes constant speeches across the country, insuring that, "Ukraine has entered a new age of technological revaluation, economic boom allowing us to pay expenses that we could once not pay for, and final peace between Ukraine and Russia! Long live the peace and many it last till the end of time!". But according to nation polls, 47% of Ukrainian people still think of Russia as a major threat to the Ukrainian people and not to trust them at all costs. But protests begins when President Tyroshenko asks Russian President Vladimir Putin to meet to talk about insured peace between the two countries...at least till the end of her term as president.
Russian diplomacy: Putin says he will meet to discuss peace, on the condition that Ukraine recognizes Crimea as part of Russia.
Ukrainian diplomacy: This enrages the Ukrainian people, but President Tyroshenko agrees that Crimea is now a part of Russia; much of the dismay of the Ukrainian Government and people. Almost immediately, riots begin in the Ukrainian capital of Kiev in response to Tyroshenko accepting Putin's request. Tyroshenko puts the military on guard to calm the riots which result in 27 deaths, 679 arrests, and 17 torched buildings. Tyroshenko's popularity drops immensely, going down to about 15% approval. While on her way to the peace meeting with Putin, Tyroshenko is assassinated when somebody planted a grenade under the Presidential Vehicle. Once again riots begin across Kiev, and Tyroshenko's Prime Minister, Oleksandr Turchynov is immediately sworn in only hours after the assassination. Now-President Turchynov denies any talks with Russian President Putin, declaring that, "Crimea has been and always will be a part of Ukraine! You can not take this from us, and in the worst case scenario we will go to war for it!".
Russian diplomacy: Putin holds a press conference in which he strongly condemns the assassination of President Tyroshenko and offers prayers and condolences to her family. Putin also expresses his disappointment in President Turchynov's unwillingness to discuss a permanent solution to the crisis, "just when progress was being made towards a brighter future for Russo-Ukrainian relations".
United States: President Clinton condemns the assignation of President Tyroshenko and she also blames Putin for destabilizing the region. We start an all out ground and air attack on North Korean capital Pyongyang. We send 100 more doctors to west Africa. We start a new campaign on crime in urban areas and take steps to end poverty by starting major scholarship funds for minorities. Hilary Clinton wins a second term which will start January 2021. We increase NASA's annual budget to 20 billion dollars. We support the rebels and ask for a democratic Venezuela but we will not get directly involved in the conflict as we our already fighting a war in Korea.
Ukraine: After President Tymroshenko was assassinated and her Prime
The Presidential Residence burns after protesters set it ablaze.
Minister, Oleksandr Turchynov was sworn in, the economy started failing. People started losing jobs, business started shutting down from bankruptcy. People demanded that President Turchynov fix the failing economy in which he responded by raising the texas almost 13% in every class. His popularity droops down to about 20% and people demanding that the Government remove him from office, unless progress was made. He only responded by saying, "The failing economy is not a result of the Ukrainian Government and is why I am raising taxes once more to stabilize the economy." The Ukrainian People did not take this well, the night after his speech a group of 3,079 protesters set fire to his residence; Turchynov escaped but his family did not. After the fire, Turchynov held a press conference with his cabinet. By the end, it was announced that Turchynov would be resigning from office and an election would be taking place in the following months. Three days later, barricades were placed on the main road into Crimea; it is unknown if this was put up from the people or the government without a president.
United Kingdom Diplomacy: The United Kingdom offers to help the Ukrainian government by sending in military forces to supress the protesters. The United Kingdom though does not support President Turchynov, qouting that his actions were 'stupid' and 'not caring for the people'.
United Kingdom: We condemn the assasanation of President Tymroshenko and the resulting civil war. We deploy an extra 14,509 troops to Korea to back up the US-led coalition. We isolate the ebola-infected civilan in a secure facility. We send 200 of our best taxonomy doctors to west Africa to help find and cure the disease. We put travel restrictions around traveling to Ukraine to the crisis arising over there. Secret; The United Kingdom calls for a NATO occupation of Crimea to hold until the disputes are settled between Russia and Ukraine. The United Kingdom also calls for Ukraine to be suspened from NATO (Mod Response Please).
