"A Time for Choosing" Dev Diary #10; Iraq
Welcome to the tenth progress report for the 'A Time for Choosing' Update which will look at the new Iraq Focus Tree for the Hashemite Kingdom of Iraq, this tree will not cover the 1958 revolution as well as the events after that, Qasim will have his own tree which we will cover at a later date.
Opening Event for Iraq setting the scene for the Hashemite Kingdom.
The beginning of the political route. The main issue to be dealt with here is the various strikes, protests and riots currently ongoing due to sectarian, economic and political issues. During this time, the Iraq Intifada was ongoing and spearheaded by the Iraqi Communist Party and other left-wing parties.
Branch Dealing with the ramifications of the Arab-Israeli War and the exodus of the Jewish population in Iraq.
Later Political Branch dealing with parliamentary elections and foreign policy.
Military Branch which mostly focuses on modernizing the armed forces.
Economic Branch, the one side of the tree mostly deals with the booming oil industry while the other half deals more with infrastructure, agriculture and leads into dealing with the instability in Kurdistan.
The Kurdish Relations Branch and Ending of the Economic Branch.
This is one of the most critical parts of the tree, to prevent the Iraqi Revolution of 1958, the player must go down and finish the Improve Kurdish Relation route which requires the user to spend a large amount of political power to eventually stabilize the nation to some extent, if the focus "Social Stability" is not completed before July 1958, the monarchy will fall.
Arab Federation Branch, if the revolution is avoided, Iraq can start an uprising in the Hejaz to try to restore Hashemite rule to Arabia.
Saudi Civil War Events
Now time for some events:
Arab Federation Events
Coronation of Faisal II
Miscellaneous Iraqi Events
This concludes the tenth Development Diary for the A Time for Choosing Update.
