Soviet Continent.

[DarkSlavik]

On March 11, 1985, just before Mikhail Gorbachev becomes General Secretary of the Communist Party this happens. Were there was land borders is now sea, but there is a buffer zone between what was now land borders in order to allow elevation to lower to sea level to make the landscape look normal, the new land in Europe is compleatly devoid of human life, but has flora and fauna like that found in normaly Eastern Europe, there are more islands of Japan now. In order to allow this the Earth's size has been increase and life on Earth is automaticly adjusted to the new gravity. there is no Climate Change and the areas around Russia that were Ice free ports before will stay that way. So how does the world react to this new Soviet Contient, and what do these new seas and lands become known as.

The Soviet Navy would get a face-lift.

Containement policy shall need a facelift too

The PRC gains a sugnifigant new Fishing industry and Farming as the Western Prarie Region become more Fertile due to increased rainfal. Thus making the Chinese even more powerful in 2005 than they are in the OTL.

Very interesting. Also, wouldn't it be a supercontinent? Just wondering.

I think the soviet union would be more likely to fight the break away republics, but the Berlin Wall might fall immediately...

Hmm, a strait of Mongollia, pleanty of oppertunity there... I'm going to assume that the enlarging of the earth increased the number of hours to 26 per day...

I belilve that the straits of Mongolia are going to be stratigicly important to both the Soviet Union, China, and the United States. why? because if the Soviet Union maintains control, it allows them passage between there Pacific Coast, and the "Caspean Ocean", for the United States, to deny the Soviet Union acess, and China, to access there new "Caspean Ocean" coastline.

I think it would be called Caspian Gulf, and the actual sea itself maybe the Steppe Ocean, or Middle Ocean.

Hmm, I wonder why most other places get new land, but not Afghanistan, China and Iran?

The US Navy controls the world.

[Othniel]

There is no way that the US could take or hold the Straits of Mongollia immediately. Of corse any Soviet invasion of Afganstan would difficult.

they did, its so that the land can slope down to sea level.

Really? And there I was, under the impression that there was a cold war, when we were being controlled the whole time. Curse you! CURSE YOU, mighty USN!

I know that, that's why I ask why China etc don't have it. Soviet Union, Finland and Europe did, yes, but if China, Iran and Afghanistan did, I can't see it...

Also, technical question, I understand how the Soviet Union can claim the stretch of suddenly appeared land, but how about the Islands? Do Japan and Russian suddenly claim the islands?

Why not? Even if the Russians do build up their fleet, the US Navy will get a face lift as well. I see more cans being built with maybe some smaller carriers that can better navigate the waters. Plus I don't think SSM inplacements would be to effective on the Mongolian Coast. They're vulenarble to air attack or curise missiles.

Plus its not like closing the Straight of Hormuz which is narrower (I think) than our new Straight of Mongolia. I smell a new US and PRC partnership in containing their neighbor.

Plus I bet the JMSDF gets a bigger boost. Since the PRC will be building up its navy to deal with the new situation, they'll want to counter. Might even get some Japanese carriers now to protect their borders.

they do, I just made a small addition along the border with the soviet union, it is there, its just small.

You were mistaken.

[NFR]

You were mistaken.

*sigh* Let's agree to stop wasting DarkSlavik's time, shall we?

Oh, and Slavik, I couldn't see them because, well, Finland and co. and especially Eastern Europe got a huge chunk of land, so it creates a wrong impression?

Heh. Reminds me of that Simpsons episode, where homer is sent to the U.N. during a crisis in the middle east, then suddenly the Russian delegate barges into the conversation, saying, "The U.S.S.R. disagree!" Everyone says there is no more U.S.S.R. anymore. Then the Russian delegate presses a button that turns the Russia plack to U.S.S.R., and in his deepest Russo-accents screams "That's what we wanted you to think!" Hillarious. It would be a giant communist coup! ;P
