Political Map
-Colonial governors of New Navarra, Javertus, and Pretoria gather to formally divide the great desert between their states. The region is definitely not settled, and likely never will be, but the land is now claimed and governed as seen on the map.
-I have decided that, ultimately, units on the map are too much of a hassle to manage, and so few people reacted to it that it wasn't worth the extra work.

-Uranium mining and refining begins in Ukraine.
-Experiments with fissile elements leads to the discovery of the atomic model, and the creation of a nuclear reactor.
-To make up for the loss of the oil market, steel production is subsidized. Unemployment rates drop.
