World of Color: Cold War [RP]

In similar fashion to my delegates sent to North Crayola, I send men into Violetnam, proposing union, arguing we need to create a state that will be “Asian for the Asians”, an echo of pre-WWII Pinkan’s ideals of colonization.

Nations are judged on 5 different categories, Economy, Military, Influence, Stability, and Corruption. Each one is judged by a one word descriptor, ranging from:
Terrible - Bad - Unfavorable - Ok - Good - Great - Excellent
Each rank means how good that category is for you, having excellent corruption doesn’t mean you’re really corrupt, it means that you have little to no corruption at all, which is a good thing.
Primary Colors:
Bluean FederationAn emerging superpower after the First Rainbow War, the Bluean Federation cemented its status as a primary color after the Second Rainbow war, and its use of the Ultraviolet Bomb against Pinkan, the only recorded use of an Ultraviolet Bomb against an enemy target in history. But now, the federation has gotten itself into trouble. It’s bogged down in a war in Tanistan, is plagued by the ever-pervasive problem of corruption, and its economy is balancing on a knife’s edge.Economy: OkMilitary: ExcellentInfluence: GoodStability: GoodCorruption: Unfavorable (+1 from legislation)Current Player: @AG120502
Redonian UnionThe Redonian Union is a husk of its former self. Ever since the 1991 coup, the authority of the ruling party has been in question, led by a committee of hardline collectivists, without a definitive leader for a whole 9 years.

Aftermath of the Ultraviolet Explosion in Baghdad
We've managed to compile all the facts that are currently out here. Not much in the way of organization.
- The identity of the group or person that set this off has yet to be seen, with no one claiming responsibility for the attack.
- The entirety of the Tanistan Armed Forces has collapsed overnight, Tanistan itself has begun to spiral into chaos. Nearly the entirety of the government was killed in the attack, and with no one left to take charge, Tanistan has collapsed utterly, with factions arising and fighting all over the middle east.
- Nearly all oil extraction and infrastructure for such in Tanistan has been destroyed. Experts predict a "global oil crisis" soon, seeing as Tanistan exports at least 70% of the world's oil.
Orangean Political Crisis
Once again, Orangean is on the brink of civil war. The National Assembly had to be shut down earlier today because a gunfight almost broke out. A nationalist politician pulled a revolver on a collectivist, firing several shots and missing all of them. He was detained by security just seconds after, but the event has nudged Orangean closer to the brink. All that's left now is for the singular spark to light the gunpowder barrel that is Orangean. Hopefully the presidential communion with the people tomorrow will be able to relieve the tension.
Cyan Unveiled to Have a Secret Ultraviolet Program
Just earlier this week, a defector from the Fourth Cyan Republic has fled to Bluean to inform them of the fact of them having a secret ultraviolet program, leaking nearly 100 classified documents to the government, proving the fact that Cyan has been working on creating Ultraviolet bombs. This has sent a shockwave throughout the world, one that has not been fully felt yet.
Fractures in the Purplish Commonwealth
Ever since the Purplish Commonwealth began to colonize land between India and Australia, things have been unstable to say the least. Just recently, Canada has requested to leave the Commonwealth, stating that: "The benefits of staying in the commonwealth are outweighed by the downsides. We cannot afford any longer to be associated with the Purplish." This could start a chain reaction that could potentially lead to a total collapse of the Purplish colonial hegemony, and the Purplish have yet to respond.
Redonia is Doing Fine, Actually
In a strange twist, Redonia is actually faring the best right now. After being put into power, Ruby has begun to crack down on crime and warlordism, and partnered with Bluean, having begun to recuperate their economy. Public opinion has skyrocketed, and things only seem to be getting better from here.
I smirk evilly in private and take full advantage of the situation in Tanistan, seizing the entirety of its oil reserves. I then ask for the UC to collectively help the people of Tanistan while firmly establishing my military presence, ostensibly to ensure the smooth flow of humanitarian aid. Major corporations are now allowed to set up infrastructure in Tanistan to extract the oil, part of my mission to ensure economic development for the Federation.
I give an ultimatum to Cyan, demanding that it stop its nuclear program immediately and destroy all infrastructure linked to it. I give the defector security.

(Is this dead? Like, maybe, one could say... Got-Dead? Eh? Eh??? Time to leave before they start throwing tomatoes at me.)

(half the people aren't even here, pinkan has just disappeared after building a big wall, cyan hasn't even responded after their big plot to build an ultraviolet program has been unraveled, and a bunch of other stuff. also I should probably get to work on the civil war right now)

Breaking News!
Orangean Leader Assassinated!
In an attempt to curb the growing polarity between the different parties of the National Assembly, the Orangean president attempted to hold a meeting with the public in order to address their issues. Halfway through the event, an unidentified person, pulled out a Brown 1912, and shot the leader five times in the chest before being bodypiled by the crowd. The leader was pronounced dead on the spot by paramedics.
This has been the last straw for the different factions, the last spark needed to start the brewing civil war in Orangean. Already paramilitaries for the nationalists, the separatists and the collectivists have begun to clash in the streets of Orangean, with cities and even the military choosing sides. It seems the Orangean Civil War has begun.
I propise an economic partnership with Redonia, investing large amounts in its oil reserves, hoping to invigorate the Federation’s economy.
The war in Tanistan has the Bluean military urging the government of Tanistan’s soldiers to surrender, asking if they want to fight for a government that k*ll*d their brothers and sisters. I use the bomb blast in Baghdad to further justify the war, crushing the already broken military of Tanistan.
I propose a bill in Congress advocating for greater transparency in institutions, targeting corruption and putting it in the limelight, also highlighting efforts to improve the economy.
I criticise the Purple for literally doing 19th century stuff in the 21st century.
