June 2406. I shall try not to powerplay. (tbh I would rather if this project wasn't instantly buried by April fools stuff, also please may I just say that my nation is not Austria, and please don't refer to it as that-) First, we need to deal with the Hungarian situation. To reduce the chance of a revolt, the Alpine Federation will have its people vote on a new name that includes Hungary (and the Yugoslav lands for that matter). The monarchy has already fled to Huvinija. (it may return, the people will do a vote at one point). The Alpine Federation is already federal, but to make the Hungarians happier the province of Hungary will receive the rest of the majority Hungarian lands (South Slovakia and half the Burgenland). We shall also preserve the Hungarian language and culture. In case a revolt does happen for whatever reason, the military shall be upgraded. We will upgrade our border security, and to prevent anyone trying to make tunnels or something we shall manufacture a bunch of advanced seismometer robot thingies I guess. The border with Poland is closed. The Alpine Federation also begins to increase trade with various countries to negate the Great Collapse's influence, while also promoting local businesses and things. Meanwhile, it has began to construct a 2,000km launch loop in the Caribbean. It is estimated to cost £30 billion, and will be able to yeet up to 6 million tons into space each year, and will shall continue to increase the power with our new self-replicating solar sattelites. The self-replicating spaceships are rapidly increasing in number, including the laser satellites, providing a decent line of defence against the Gems. The satellites spread to much of the remaining asteroid belt and begin building small colonies, which shall soon be inhabited. The mining satellites help with mining Dilithium. That is not the final frontier though, as the probes migrate outwards, followed by a few manned mission, and we claim Callisto, Iapetus, Titania, and Orcus. Dilithium mining has also started in the Kuiper belt. We have also borrowed some Caribbean technology and improve it a little, which is used to create a FTL ship at 1.48c, which is heading towards Barnards's Star.
