We begin research in the middle of the Outback. Nobody knows what it's about, but it is certainly important. (i'm only making this so we get extra time for the projects) We begin to show what the point of nuclear energy is. Our population will be hit with propaganda about how it will improve the military and energy. Our green transition will be super good for our people, which they see. Eventually, we will start talking about whether nukes will be good or bad for our nation, and we will host a poll. It is slightly rigged by the propaganda, but after a lot of it, they want nukes so we can defend against our worst enemies.
other stuff: We block any Japanese ships going to Antarctica by telling them to go back. if they refuse, we will take them prisoner, then return the people back home, without their stuff. We only do that if they refuse. We also start doing military drills with New Zealand around Papua New Guinea. Finally, we stop trading with Japan. It's not allowed anymore. We export our energy across the world and import the manufactured goods of Taiwan and our own ones we make. This means Japan will suffer but we won't.
