&&BRIEF
"Northwest Germany has decent levels of many resources, and more importantly is the industrial power in the area.  They also have control over the largest military.  East Germany, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Poland also have significant militaries."

&&NOTES
"The Global Depression combined with harsh winters hit the Central European nations particularly hard.  Energy reserves dwindled and food shortages were common.  Yet for the most part civil unrest was avoided, and in some cases cooperation with neighboring states actually grew.  On October 15th 2008, partly in response to the dissolution of the European Union, and pending resolution of the economic crisis, the countries of Belgium, The Netherlands, and Luxemburg formally merged.  They were trying to ignite a renewed sense of European cooperation but it had the opposite effect...¶¶Austria immediately announced support for this initiative, as did many provinces within Southern Germany.  But not all of Germany liked the idea...  Eastern Germany had yet to achieve a sense of true belonging since the fall of the Berlin Wall and German reunification.  Instead they continued to feel discriminated against by the more affluent western and southern parts of their country. The East Germans also continued to feel they had more in common with many of the former Soviet Bloc nations: Hungary, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia, and like them had little enthusiasm for a new European Union. ¶¶And in the Industrial North West there was little interest in joining a weak European alliance.  Their new right-wing leadership vowed that Germany's industrial strength should be the driving force of a renewed Europe and not a passive servant to others.  International concerns began to grow as North West Germany actively pursued their goal..."

&&EMAIL 00

&&EMAIL 01 - West Germany
"We are tired of supporting the eastern part of our nation and now we find out that they may be making overtures to their former Soviet Bloc allies.  It is intolerable!  And on top of that we have Southern Germany calling for a new European Union.  Why they insist on placing our fate in the hands of others is a mystery.  We have the industrial and military power to take Europe in the direction we want and that is precisely what we should do. ¶¶As we combine Germany under a common banner, the fear of our neighbors will likely cause them to ally against us.  They may also attempt to interfere before we can achieve this goal.  However we must be careful not to change focus before Germany is fully united.  Once we have accomplished this, then we should take the time to consolidate our power.  Only then should we look beyond our borders."  

&&EMAIL 02 - East Germany
"So far our diplomatic overtures to former Soviet Bloc regions have been ignored but we should definitely keep trying.  Eventually they will realize that we share common goals for our future.  We don't want a return to communism, but we don't want to be dictated to and pitied by the Cold War victors either. ¶¶The rhetoric coming from Northwest Germany continues to increase, but our advisors do not think they will risk a civil war.  There is no way that the rest of Europe would tolerate an ultra right-wing leadership once again taking hold in Germany.  Just the same, it would only be prudent if we increased our defenses along our shared border. ¶¶Economically we should also be trying to get out of the shadow of our western brethren.  We need to modernize our manufacturing and rebuild our power generation industries.  Once we accomplish that, we should achieve a trade surplus.  Then if Northwest Germany continues along its ludicrous path, we will be able to support expanding our own army to combat them."

&&EMAIL 03 - South Germany
"It seems that while we are promoting a new European Union, our counterparts in Northwest and Eastern Germany are doing everything they can to undermine that idea.  Eastern Germany is being naïve if they think that the former Soviet Bloc regions are going to want to ally with them.  The old relationship those regions shared would never have come about it if wasn't enforced by Soviet tanks. ¶¶Northwest Germany's ambitions are a lot more troubling.  Although it seems inconceivable that such an ultra right-wing leadership could gain control in this day and age, the bottom line is it has happened and we have to deal with it.  We should step up our efforts towards a new European Union because that might be needed to prevent the unthinkable. ¶¶Economically we have become too dependent on the agriculture industry.  We let the Northwest fill the manufacturing needs of our country and that was a mistake.  We must rebuild this sector and coincidentally our power generation facilities.  Once we have, then we should use the economic growth to fund expansion of our own military forces.  They may be needed sooner than we think."

&&EMAIL 04 - Poland
"Once again Germany seems on a path to destroy Europe.  Our own economy has finally started to rebound from the recession and now we are faced with the possibility of war.  We must continue to improve our economy, particularly in the manufacturing sector, so that we can put new energy into increasing our armed forces.  If Western Germany has dreams of conquest, this time they will not catch us by surprise. ¶¶The other way we can prepare against the worst would be through diplomatic channels.  Slovakia, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Benelux must also be getting nervous of German ambitions.  There is a good chance they might be willing to consider Mutual Defense pacts.  Of course the danger here is that even if we were not attacked, we would still be dragged into the conflict."

&&EMAIL 05 - Hungary
"Our people generally support the idea of a renewed European Union.  Eastern Germany's attempts to instead build an alliance from former Soviet Bloc countries are nothing more than a thinly disguised attempt to assert domination over us.  They would much rather be a big fish in a small pond than a small fish in the ocean. ¶¶Northwest Germany's ambitions are far more disturbing.  Whether we are willing to admit it or not, we know that there is some support for their ultra right-wing policies in our own country and among our neighbors.  If they are allowed to gain momentum, there could be no stopping them.  Therefore we should do whatever we can to support Southern Germany and a new European Union."

&&EMAIL 06 - Czech Republic
"Hungary was right when they indicated Eastern Germany's attempts to build an alliance from former Soviet Bloc countries is nothing more than them trying to gain importance at our expense...  However our analysts don't think a renewed European Union in the present circumstances is advisable either.  We must concentrate our efforts internally above all else and rebuild our economy.  Our power generation surplus will allow us to increase our manufacturing sector with relative ease and once that is accomplished we can review how to proceed diplomatically. ¶¶There are definitely things we should be concerned about though...  Civil War in Germany could eventually spread outside its borders.  If it does occur, we should provide clandestine support for Southern Germany (there is no need for Eastern or Western Germany to know where our support lies).  We should also invest in our armed forces, just in case..."

&&EMAIL 07 - Slovakia
"We know that the Czech Republic doesn't share this view, but our analysts think that Eastern Germany's ideas make some sense.  Our economies over the last fifty years have been very similarly based and together we could be a leading force in creating a new Europe - one in which we are leaders, not followers.  However it may take some time to persuade the Czechs and Hungarians of the validity of this idea, and that is unfortunately time we may not have... ¶¶Western Germany continues to destabilize their country and we feel that Civil War is inevitable.  As well, there is no doubt in the minds of our analysts that such a conflict will spread beyond Germany's borders.  We should be prepared to meet any such threat to our sovereignty with deadly force.  That does mean we need to immediately invest in improving our armed forces regardless of how much we hope they're not needed."

&&EMAIL 09 -Austria
"It is imperative that we continue to push for a new European Union.  That may be the only way to contain the ambitions of Eastern and Western Germany and protect our prosperity.  While the moderates in Southern Germany continue to support this idea, it is apparent that they would not survive a conflict between the former German regions .  We should take whatever actions you deem possible to help support them. ¶¶Our analysts also believe that our support of Southern Germany should be open.  If Western and Eastern Germany see that support is going to be provided against them, they may hesitate to force the matter.  We will need to also improve our military investment if our involvement is to be a legitimate threat."

&&EMAIL 08 - Benelux
"The threat to our region from Western Germany continues to grow.  Some within our government do support their ultra right-wing ideals.  Fortunately the majority of our people do not, and they believe a reconstituted European Union is the only way to secure our futures. ¶¶Western Germany is fully aware of our views, and our analysts believe that if they decide to attack someone, it is more than likely to be us instead of their own countrymen.  We should immediately deploy as many troops as we can to defend our borders, and at the same time make every effort possible to increase the coalition against them."

&&EMAIL 10 - Kaliningrad
"Being isolated from Russia is difficult for our government and our people; seeing as how we are forced to tolerate the whims of our neighbors while Russia endures another difficult period in her history.  While civil war ravages our homeland, we are forced to listen to the right-wing rhetoric from Northwest Germany that thinly masks fascist ambition.  And calls for a new European Union are ridiculous if they don't involve Russia. ¶¶We must attempt to build our economy and increase our self-defense force while we await the outcome of Russia's internal conflict.  Only then will we be able to fully rejoin our motherland."

&&EMAIL 11 - Lithuania
"If it were not for our agriculture, timber and electricity exports, our economy would be in poor shape.  We still have not modernized our manufacturing and that needs prompt attention if we hope to stimulate regional growth. ¶¶The situation in Germany remains a grave concern.  Northwest Germany's new leadership seems intent on increasing tensions and alienating their neighbors.  Although there is little that we can do to control the situation, we must continue to monitor events and watch for opportunities.  Militarily we are comparatively weak, so if hostilities erupt, we will have to rely on alliances to survive."

&&EMAIL 12 - Latvia
"Our agriculture and timber exports are not enough to support economic growth.  We need to first achieve self-sufficiency with our electricity production before we can even begin to think about expanding our manufacturing sector. ¶¶Tensions continue to increase over the situation in Germany.  If Northwest Germany does not soon make concessions, the possibility of a civil war is quite real.  And that will be bound to drag in other regions.  We should try and forge stronger alliances with our neighbors so that we are better protected should hostilities erupt."
