&&BRIEF
"A united India would have little trouble conquering the entire area in a conventional war.  However its current division is a weakness that Pakistan could possibly take advantage of.  Economic challenges are also common throughout the map."

&&NOTES
"In what became one of the many epitaphs of the United Nations, its major diplomatic push in 2007 to settle the Kashmir situation between India and Pakistan ended in dismal failure.  When negotiations broke off, not only was no agreement in place, but once again troop deployments were near all-time highs in the area, and the region teetered on the brink of nuclear war. ¶¶By the end of 2008 there were approximately one million troops deployed around the Line of Control and neither side wanted to show weakness by scaling back.  Military historians believe that the two countries had finally crossed that invisible line and that a final war for the region was inevitable.  The newly emerging World Market then issued what they believed was a last minute warning; ‘The use of nuclear weapons against civilians would not be tolerated and would be met with immediate retaliation!’  However, as the world watched with growing dread, subsequent events in New Delhi quickly overshadowed Kashmir and altered the course of the area. ¶¶October 31st 2009 (New Delhi) – Indian Prime Minister Assassinated¶¶On the 25th anniversary of Indira Gandhi’s assassination, roadside mines were successfully used today to bomb the Prime Minister's Motorcade as it was heading for parliament.  The Prime Minister and four others were killed in the explosion.  Sikh separatists calling for an independent Punjab claimed responsibility.  Dozens of other bombs were also detonated throughout the city and casualties are expected to be heavy. ¶¶Reaction in the government was swift and harsh, as Hindu Fundamentalism once again became the rallying cry of a nation in mourning.  In response, protests against the government crackdown then became more and more widespread and it became apparent the younger generation did not support many of the traditional Hindu values.  Troops were recalled from Kashmir to quell the civil unrest, finally easing tensions at the Line of Control, but that only added to the slaughter at home. ¶¶Within a month, the national government had become a pariah and regional control fell more heavily to the states.  This helped diffuse the situation and civil unrest began to lessen but the national authority had been totally undermined and the states considered their own authority paramount to that of New Delhi’s.  The new leadership void prompted many state leaders to assume a more prominent role and the quest for a revived Indian leadership began.  Alongside this disorganization, Pakistan watched, sensing the incredible opportunity…"

"The last thing we need is to become involved in a conflict between India and Pakistan.  Ultimately it would lead nowhere but to our defeat.  Our best action would be to invest in our own region and grow our economy as much as possible.  When it becomes clear who will emerge victorious from the conflict, then we should make peaceful overtures and pledge cooperation with their leadership."

&&EMAIL 01 - New Delhi
"Although our first priority should be to regain authority of the separated regions, we must keep a constant vigil on activities on the Pakistan border.  We’ve lost a lot of industries in the separation so we should look to recover these industries or replace them with new ones.  Our population still gives us an advantage over most of the separated states, though Andhra Pradesh has a more defensible position and a large industrial base.  They could also hold a technological edge if we don’t keep up our own development programs.  ¶¶The World Market has issued the following warning to every region involved in this conflict:  The use of Weapons of Mass Destruction by any region in this area will not be tolerated and will immediately result in our intervention.  No leader that countenances the use of such weapons will be allowed to remain in a position of power."

&&EMAIL 02 - Andhra Pradesh
"We now find ourselves independent of the former government with a number of decisions to be made.  While we are isolated from events on the Pakistani border, threats to any of the former Indian territories would certainly signal a threat to all.  The Pakistani administration could decide that the division of India creates an opportunity too good to miss but more likely they will recognize that any action would likely create unity amongst our divided regions and spell their demise.  Since we have little desire to rejoin the current Indian administrations, we may wish to play a dangerous game by courting both sides.  We may be able to get many concessions from New Delhi if they fear our support shifting to other factions.  In the long term however, a lasting alliance with Pakistan is unlikely.  If we can convince New Delhi that our independence is to their benefit, perhaps together we can remove the Pakistani threat for good.  ¶¶Also of note, the World Market has issued the following warning to all regions:  The use of Weapons of Mass Destruction by any region in this area will not be tolerated and will immediately result in our intervention.  No leader that countenances the use of such weapons will be allowed to remain in a position of power."

&&EMAIL 03 - Rajasthan
"While we have achieved a degree of independence, we find ourselves in a less than desirable position.  The threat that Pakistani leaders will see the division of India as an opportunity for conquest is frighteningly possible.  If such an attack did come, our northern territories would certainly be the first battlegrounds.  While we recognize Punjab and Kashmir’s desire for independence, they have left us in a vulnerable position.  It is possible that promises of continued independence from Pakistan could keep them out of any conflicts or even add them to our enemies’ forces.  Our one ray of hope lies in the fact that New Delhi would likely support us were we to be attacked and even Andhra Pradesh may help.  Clearly, none of the former Indian nations wish to fall to Pakistani rule and would be unified by any outside threat.  Though we cannot be sure that West Bengal or Assam would feel threatened quite as severely.  ¶¶Amongst our defense inventory, it is important to note that we did retain technologies for nuclear weapons.  Though all of these weapons went elsewhere, we have the capabilities to produce some ourselves.  Let us pray that a nuclear deterrent is not needed to maintain peace, as the World Market’s threat of intervention appears not to be an idle one."

&&EMAIL 04 - Punjab
"With the government in New Delhi so occupied with recent events, we have finally been able declare independence.  Not surprisingly, Kashmir and Assam have already done the same.  In the coming days, New Delhi is likely to concern itself with reuniting Rajasthan and Andhra Pradesh before looking our way.  However, if it is successful, we will likely be reclaimed soon after.  We will need allies in short order and have some dangerous choices.  Some have suggested that Pakistan might offer a better chance for continued independence but others fear that the recent troubles will soon see a Pakistani offensive move towards New Delhi right through our lands.  If we could reach some quiet agreements with Rajasthan, we might be able to deal diplomatically with New Delhi and play both sides to maintain a deadlock on the situation.  Time is certainly our best ally.  One comforting note is the World Market’s declaration on the use of nuclear weapons.  Clearly any such conflicts could too easily take place on our doorstep."

&&EMAIL 05 – Kashmir
"After so many years of constant war we find ourselves an independent nation, but we have much recovery to do and our economy sits in very poor condition.  While this is what we have longed for, the concern remains, how long will it last?  The division of India will certainly cause the leaders of Pakistan to consider an offensive.  However, they will likely recognize that any action on their part could cause a reunification in the face of an outside threat.  Our best position is likely to counsel them with caution and offer cooperation and support.  If Pakistani leaders truly wish peace in the area, we may be able to secure our independence in exchange.  The World Market issued statement on the use of weapons of mass destruction may also be leverage to deter any action from Pakistan.  Both nations spent so long trusting their nuclear programs as a deterrent that the inability to make use of it will likely cause some concern."

&&EMAIL 06 - West Bengal
"After so much time, we have finally restored what was lost to colonial rule.  Our region sits independent now and will likely find support for remaining as such.  Bangladesh and Assam should hold some opportunities of economic cooperation and we should contact other regions to see what can be achieved through cooperation.  One concern is that Pakistan will see the division of India as an opportunity since the nation has been weakened.  Our citizens will certainly expect us to support any cooperation to keep Indian territories from falling to Pakistani forces but past that our concerns should remain internal until we hold a stronger position.  The World Market’s warning on the use of nuclear weapons is of little concern to us since we don’t possess any and New Delhi is not likely to use them on territories that it could court diplomatically instead."

&&EMAIL 07 - Assam
"At long last we have reached our goal.  In fact, we have surpassed it.  Long had we enjoyed support from within Bhutan but their unification with our newly independent region gives us a greater appearance of authority.  Also, their resources for water and hydropower should help stabilize our emerging economy.  With our distance from the Pakistani border, events there are unlikely to have much effect on us but may help keep the larger regions preoccupied.  Our greatest threat will likely be the provinces to the south that refused to join us and maintain their links to the government in New Delhi.  West Bengal and Bangladesh are more likely to look at us for the possibility of economic cooperation, something we very much need. The World Market’s warning on the use of nuclear weapons is of little concern to us as we don’t posses any at the moment nor is New Delhi likely to use them on territories they hope to reclaim."

&&EMAIL 08 - Pakistan
"Now that India is divided, the temptation to launch an offensive is quite great.  However our analysts predict that any such move on our part will be sure to instantly re-unify most of India against us.  We must therefore allow them to further weaken themselves both militarily and economically before we make our move.  Ideally it will be while there is still some division among their states and when it seems that they will not get any weaker. The World Market has issued the following warning to every region involved in this conflict:  The use of Weapons of Mass Destruction by any region in this area will not be tolerated and will immediately result in our intervention.  No leader that countenances the use of such weapons will be allowed to remain in a position of power."

&&EMAIL 09 - Nepal
"After many years of political turmoil, our government seems to have finally stabilized.  With a full democratic system in place and the first elections behind us we seem to have a fair level of popular support.  Strangely, while we have been working to put our country in order, our neighbours have seen their countries deteriorate to a state of chaos.  None could have predicted the separation of India into its current powers though the fight for independence of Punjab and Kashmir comes as little surprise.  However dark these times may seem, the division of India may turn our major trade partner into multiple competing markets.  With the amount of work it will take to solidify our economy, this may prove a blessing in disguise." 

&&EMAIL 10 - Bangladesh
"While we are concerned for the state of the world, we are also happy to see some regions seeking independence.  The newly formed state of West Bengal is likely to make a strong ally and trade partner.  With our poor economic conditions we may be able to greatly benefit from close ties.  The Assam region to our north may also prove to be beneficial though their internal instability is of some concern.  Probably our greatest fear lies in either New Delhi or Pakistan embarking on a campaign of conquest.  If India were reunited by force, would they continue to tolerate an independent country within their own territories?  A military force sent to rein in Assam would be uncomfortably close.  And were Pakistan to take advantage of India’s instability, there is little doubt that they would also claim sovereignty over our country for the defeat they suffered 40 years ago."

"The last thing we need is to become involved in a conflict between India and Pakistan.  Ultimately it would lead nowhere but to our defeat.  Our best action would be to invest in our own region and grow our economy as much as possible.  When it becomes clear who will emerge victorious from the conflict, then we should make peaceful overtures and pledge cooperation with their leadership."

&&EMAIL 12 - Afghanistan
"Now that we have finally managed to put our country on the road to economic recovery, the last thing we need is to become involved in a conflict between India and Pakistan.  Although we must do our best to support the efforts of Pakistan, we could not hope to withstand a direct confrontation with a unified India.  As such, any support we provide to Pakistan must be done discreetly.  If India does emerge the victor, we will have no choice but to make peaceful overtures to their government and pledge our cooperation with their leadership."
