Militaristic:

Reintroduce Conscription:
We simply don't have enough men in uniform to reconstitute even a single branch of the armed forces. If we intend to do so, we must first begin conscription.
80%, 1000(+20%), 2
Military <- Recruits(Large, Trained).

Fusion Reactor (Vehicle): (Requires Improved Miniaturization)
Improved miniaturization techniques, when combined with fusion technology, allow for fusion reactors small enough to fuel a vehicle. The myriad benefits of such an arrangement include thickened armour, greater speed, and a lightened logistical load. The innovation will even make super heavy tanks, previously an impractical pipe dream, feasible.
Locked, 500(+10%), 6
Unlocks New Equipment: Vehicle Fusion Reactor

Fusion Reactor (Aircraft): (Requires Improved Miniaturization)
Improved miniaturization techniques, when combined with fusion technology, allow for fusion reactors small enough to power aircraft. The sheer power of such an engine would permit the creation of larger, heavier, aircraft. In addition, traditional aircraft would see improvements to engine power and reductions in fuel volumes.
Locked, 500(+10%), 6
Unlocks New Equipment: Aircraft Fusion Reactor

Fusion Reactor (Naval):
Fusion technology practically begs to be used by oceangoing vessels. Traditional fission reactors provide nearly unlimited range, but are prohibitively expensive and require rigorous anti-radiation measures. Fusion reactors avoid both downsides. Fusion fuel is less expensive than highly refined uranium. Improvements derived from alien fusion cores even allow reactors to run on seawater.
75%, 500(+15%), 4
Unlocks New Equipment: Naval Fusion Reactor

Expand Interceptor Unit:
Our Air Force needs additional planes and personnel. A hundred aircraft is not enough to defend a continent. It will be expensive, but an expanded core of interceptors will pave the way for more specialized ground support and air supremacy aircraft.
100%, 1500x0.5, 3
Infantry(Medium, Trained), Interceptor(Tiny, Veteran) -> Interceptor(Small, Veteran)
Note: Military units automatically regenerate damage <=10%, allowing the formation of smaller, more specialized, units.

Organize Militia:
It has come to your attention that a very large number of wartime militias did not disband when the War ended. This is somewhat concerning, but may present an opportunity. While you cannot dissolve them, you can integrate them into formal State and County militias with an actual chain of command. While the results would not be particularly useful in a modern war, they would provide an excellent source of recruits.
70%, 100(+20%), 3
Infrastructure <- Militia: Good
Note: Each country has an Infrastructure to increase maximum recruitment size. e.g. Japan has Robotics Factories, France has the Foreign Legion, America has the Militia.

Industrial:

Expand Factories (Type):
Increased industrial capacity is always worthwhile. Expanding your factories would strengthen America both economically and militarily.
75+5%, 1000x0.5(+20%), 1
Factories.Type -> CUR_LEVEL + 1, ???

Fusion Reactors:
Fusion reactors have the potential to revolutionize energy production. The resulting drop in energy prices will reduce industrial costs, reduce consumer expenses, and create an excess petroleum supply.

Tax Base +10%, Electrical -> Excellent (Trade Good: Oil)

Financial:

Investigate Trade Opportunities (Select One: {Germany, France, Russia, UK, Argentina, Brazil, China}):
We need to reduce our debt. Perhaps favorable trade deals would convince our debtors? We'd have to look for opportunities first.

Sell Electronics to Central Africa: (Degrees of Success)
The Central African electronics industry is still new and unproven. Prices are high and quality is low. These problems will likely resolve themselves in the coming decades, but local companies are currently quite vulnerable. This is why we must strike now in flood the market with cheap, high quality American electronics. We will simultaneously eliminate potential competitors and make a tremendous profit.

Japanese Military Alliance:
The Japanese have suffered greatly as a result of the 3rd Sino-Japanese war. Moreover, their fragile naval superiority will last only so long as the Chinese continue to war amongst themselves. Therefore, the Japanese have made military supplies and alliances their first priority. Only once these are obtained will the Japanese consider other treaties. However, our own citizens will likely oppose even a defensive war on behalf of the Japanese.

You begin an aggressive military-industrial modernization effort to bring the army's armament up to modern standards. Many old designs are incompatible with modern manufacturing advances, so you have much of the arsenal replaced outright. It's at least twice as expensive as simply upgrading the factories, but it shows results. By the end of the year capacity for everything from rifles to IFVs has doubled and costs are down 25%.

Central Africa is happy to accept food imports. Most of the constituent countries were dependent on imports prior to the War, and shipping hasn't been reliable in decades. Some of the local pirates attempt to board one of your cargo vessels, but the crew are equipped with substantial quantity of liquidated military equipment. The pirates reaction proved quite popular on Youtube despite repeated attempts to ban it for graphic content. The merchant had somehow managed to acquire a 5" naval cannon. The artillery had devastating effect on the unarmoured pirate vessels.

"You may fire at will. (Loud Boom) I've always to do that."
"I told you the naval artillery would pay off."
"So you did. I sup-(Loud Boom) I think I understand why the navy likes to reserve old vessels for target practice."

The new miniaturization technologies are completed this year as promised. They allow the anticipated advances in compact military equipment. However, they also offer a more surprising result. A number of sub-technologies prove highly applicable to the construction of compact high pressure piping. While originally intended to reduce the volume of aircraft fuel tanks, they were suited to a much larger array of plumbing systems.

Unit Design:

Unit design is conducted separately from normal turn voting. Any design which receives at least 5 votes will be added to the catalog and can be created using a military action.
Each unit has a size and a number of equipment slots. The size acts as a multiplier on armament equipment slots and on hidden stats.
Each unit type has a size cap. Infantry have a size cap of 1 while armour and aircraft have a cap dependent on engine technology. The closer a unit is to its size cap the lower its speed. An infantry unit represents a 6 man squad.
Each unit type has multiple categories of equipment with a variable number of slots. One of the technologies contained within a category may be chosen for each slot. A technology may be chosen multiple times, although additional selections may have little or no effect.
The Armament category is special. It's slots are multiplied by the unit's size. This allows for a wider variety of unit designs.
Some armament items have example weapons in parenthesis. These are real life weapons of similar role.

Militaristic:

Reintroduce Conscription:
We simply don't have enough men in uniform to reconstitute even a single branch of the armed forces. If we intend to do so, we must first begin conscription.
80%, 1000(+20%), 2
Military <- Recruits(Large, Trained).

Compact Equipment:
Improved miniaturization techniques allow our engineers to fit more features into our soldier's equipment. While this is already a significant benefit, future technology development will create an even greater need for compact equipment.
80%, 500(+10%), 3
+1 Equipment Slots
Note: Equipment slots are used to add technologies to military units. For instance, a rifle might have Hi Cap Mags and Laser Sights.

Fusion Reactor (Vehicle):
Improved miniaturization techniques, when combined with fusion technology, allow for fusion reactors small enough to fuel a vehicle. The myriad benefits of such an arrangement include thickened armour, greater speed, and a lightened logistical load. The innovation will even make super heavy tanks, previously an impractical pipe dream, feasible.
75%, 500(+10%), 6
Unlocks New Equipment: Vehicle Fusion Reactor

Fusion Reactor (Aircraft):
Improved miniaturization techniques, when combined with fusion technology, allow for fusion reactors small enough to power aircraft. The sheer power of such an engine would permit the creation of larger, heavier, aircraft. In addition, traditional aircraft would see improvements to engine power and reductions in fuel volumes.
70%, 500(+10%), 6
Unlocks New Equipment: Aircraft Fusion Reactor

Fusion Reactor (Naval):
Fusion technology practically begs to be used by oceangoing vessels. Traditional fission reactors provide nearly unlimited range, but are prohibitively expensive and require rigorous anti-radiation measures. Fusion reactors avoid both downsides. Fusion fuel is less expensive than highly refined uranium. Improvements derived from alien fusion cores even allow reactors to run on seawater.
85%, 500(+15%), 4
Unlocks New Equipment: Naval Fusion Reactor

Expand Interceptor Unit:
Our Air Force needs additional planes and personnel. A hundred aircraft is not enough to defend a continent. It will be expensive, but an expanded core of interceptors will pave the way for more specialized ground support and air supremacy aircraft.
100%, 1500x0.5, 3
Infantry(Medium, Trained), Interceptor(Tiny, Veteran) -> Interceptor(Small, Veteran)
Note: Military units automatically regenerate damage <=10%, allowing the formation of smaller, more specialized, units.

Organize Militia:
It has come to your attention that a very large number of wartime militias did not disband when the War ended. This is somewhat concerning, but may present an opportunity. While you cannot dissolve them, you can integrate them into formal State and County militias with an actual chain of command. While the results would not be particularly useful in a modern war, they would provide an excellent source of recruits.
70%, 100(+20%), 3
Infrastructure <- Militia: Good
Note: Each country has an Infrastructure to increase maximum recruitment size. e.g. Japan has Robotics Factories, France has the Foreign Legion, America has the Militia.

Fusion Reactors:
Fusion reactors have the potential to revolutionize energy production. The resulting drop in energy prices will reduce industrial costs, reduce consumer expenses, and create an excess petroleum supply.
80+5%, 2000x0.5(+10%), 4
Tax Base +10%, Electrical -> Excellent (Trade Good: Oil)

High Pressure Plumbing:
Plumbing and sewer networks can take up significant amounts of space and prove expensive to maintain. Fortunately, advances from our miniaturization program allow the economic creation of compact, durable networks of highly pressurized piping. When combined with state of the art filter technology, a complex web of piping can be reduced to a handful of slim pressure pipes. These systems require less obstructive maintenance and are more convenient for consumers.
