=Asia=
• A Chinese Five Year Plan begins, increasing economic output by converting pig iron from years ago into useable material.
• An NVA offensive against South Vietnam is bombed into the dirt by well-timed American bombings and the cancellation of the Vietnamese incursions into Laos by American planners. One Vietnamese unit is lost, but another is trained in its place. Like the Tet Offensive, this one lowers the American public’s confidence despite military victory.

=Europe=
• The USSR denounces the nomenklatura policies that have stemmed since the Khrushchev era, removes the gerontocrats, and institutes meritocracy. Popularity and income rise but stability decreases as cliques begin the form against the increased workload and introduction of new young cadres supporting Brezhnev’s competence reforms to higher leadership. Industrial output increases as new bureaucrats are eager to prove themselves in front of leadership.
• The supporters of Kosygin and Podgorny are forced into retirement and ware replaced by the supporters of Brezhnev, Shelpin, and Andropov. Technocrats replace a large number of bureaucrats and deputies deemed to be in too close contract with Kosygin, and the latter are persecuted for corruption charges. Stability increases but popular reaction to this is largely negative, with local party bosses dragged off to jail.
• Soviet plans to expand industrial and agricultural production are successful as the technocrats adopt scientific management techniques and increase worker autonomy and reward for increased production. However, quality control measures fail because of the natural tendency in Communist countries to rush through production and work around quality control; like Ceausescu’s before them, Brezhnev’s government is more successful in boosting quantity of output than matching Western quality. Still, the influx of goods stimulates the Soviet economy, and popularity rises from consumer goods.
• The IRA increases in strength with the assistance of new guns. The British intercept a series of Libyan cargo vessels carrying AK47s and mortars shortly afterwards, but MI6 concludes most of the supply had already made it through.

• German investment in the economy succeeds n growing it through liberalization, tax cuts, and subsidies.
• This, coupled with social reforms that give unions and workers more rights increase popularity and undercut support for the Red Army Faction. Soon, GSG 9 builds a web of contacts which it attempts to use to suppress the faction completely. While this fails, their Soviet-made guns are captured.
• Portuguese officers under Carvalho proclaim a “Carnatian Revolution”, launching a coup d’etat against the right wing government of Caetanes. Althoguh the yare confronted by a countercoup by the moderate officers under Eanes, both sides promise the release of colonies and Eanes’ coup fails when Carvalho is assisted by foreign agents in launching a second coup, deposing the Eanes government. He declares a policy of neutrality and withdraws from NATO military command, releasing all of the Portuguese colonies.
• In light of Nixon’s failure to declare a number of his initiatives to Ceausescu of Romania, the Romanian leader is persuaded by Zhang Chungqiao to declare neutrality form the Soviets with intense cooperation with China and the maintenance of his opportunistic relationship and MFN status with America.

• During the 2500 year celebration of the Persian Empire, bombs go off, wounding the Sultan of Oman and causing a panic in the celebration. A series of IED bombings erupt in Iranian Kurdistan as the military is deployed, cracking down on protestors in the streets and conducting beatings and imprisonment.
• However, considerable aid and reforms, apparently pressured by SAVAK generals with foreign blessing, prevent the People’s Fedai or any rebels from gaining strength and lead to more radical land reform and adherence to Islamic religious policy.
• Omani rebels are emboldened by the assassination and events launch an offensive However, British-trained Omani troops turn them back in a fierce counterattack and weaken them.
• A massive explosion happens in a warehouse in the West Bank, killing 24 PLO fighters, one member of the leadership’s inner circle, and nine alleged KGB agents, destroying a massive storage of arms. Two Soviet nationals flee from the scene but are found dead two days later in the streets of Ramallah, their bodies racked with submachine gun bullets. The IDF investigates their offices and finds papers it claims are conclusive proof of KGB espionage.
• Bashar al-Assad agrees to a Soviet naval base in Tartus and the Communist Party begins collaboration with his government.
• The Communist Party of Sudan enters collaboration with the Sudanese government, which receives with kind words a large Soviet arms shipment. Communist agitators remain in prison, however, and party membership falls.
• Tanzanians arrive at a meeting place with Jonas Savimbi, and out of their trucks, loaded on the arms on the outside, men burst from the fake tarps on top of them and begin firing on the UNITA leader. Savimbi and his men return fire, and in the firefight seven UNITA and four of the Tanzanians are killed as Savimbi retreats. The agents are captured and confess to begin Soviet-trained, appearing battered from severe torture.
• MPLA and UNITA begin intense firefights
• An Iraqi offensive against the Kurds fails because of new NATO weapons shipped from an unknown source.
• The Israeli economy increases after investments into kibbutz, but the opposition led by Menachem Begin calls gains “modest” due to the lack of a free-market program.
• In contrast, the quality of the IDF increases dramatically following American training in wildcat techniques and a significant investment.
• Deployment of more IDF forces across the Sinai causes a Second Phase in the War of Attrition in which Egyptian forces are pounded into the dust, decreasing President Sadat’s popularity and increasing that of the Israeli government.

=Oceania=
• The NPA in the Philippines launches the Luzon offensive ad guerilla attacks around the country in response to oppression by the Marcos government. People join the successful and well-armed offensive, with boats streaming in from Guangzhou by night carrying arms witnessed by coast guards. The Army responds with airstrikes that stall the offensive before it reaches Manilla, and Marcos survives a cabinet vote of confidence.
• Malaysia catches Chinese agents in its territory, but not before classified and embarrassing documents leak to the press and plans of military operations are scuttled due to breach of secrecy. This makes them inept in dealing with an economic sabotage and bombing campaign of MNLA, which blows up major highways and destroys the national airport.
• The PLA of Thailand recruits units and attacks American bases with heavy losses. However, the fall of one of these bases decreases the stability of the Thai monarchy and emboldens the rebels, spreading propaganda for their recruitment campaign. They harbor MNLA officials chased down by the Malaysians.
