MA 2 – President Simulator: How to Annex Other Countries

To annex another country in MA 2 – President Simulator, you must declare war through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, defeat every opposing military division through the Ministry of Defense, and select the Annexation option on the post-war settlement screen. Once the territory joins your borders, you must immediately deploy security forces and fund regional services to prevent armed rebellion and offset diplomatic fallout.

1. Scouting Diplomatic Pacts and Army Strength

Before launching an attack, confirm that your target cannot pull third-party powers into the conflict. Early expansion should focus strictly on isolated nations with no mutual defense treaties.

1. Open the world map and tap the prospective target nation.
2. Inspect the country's diplomatic profile for active defensive alliances, mutual assistance treaties, or foreign security guarantees. Declaring war on a guaranteed nation brings allied superpowers directly into the conflict against you.
3. Compare standing forces. Check the target's active troop counts, border garrisons, and fortification levels against your own army size.
4. Verify direct geographic access along shared land borders. Crossing through neutral territory requires military access agreements that can complicate invasion routes.

2. Mobilizing Military Divisions and Logistical Supplies

Invading another sovereign state requires balanced military divisions managed through the Ministry of Defense alongside sufficient stockpiles of war materials. Combat operations consume ammunition, fuel, and operating funds each turn. If your reserves deplete during an ongoing assault, your divisions suffer severe combat debuffs that stall the invasion.

Stockpile several months of fuel, ammunition, and budget reserves before moving divisions to the theater of operations.

3. Declaring War and Choosing the Annexation Settlement

Full integration of foreign territory requires wiping out all defending garrisons and choosing the proper treaty terms:

1. Open the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
2. Select your target country and issue a formal declaration of war.
3. Switch to the Ministry of Defense, assign your combat divisions to the front, and order them to advance across the border.
4. Engage the defender across the combat simulation phases until all hostile divisions and administrative strongpoints fall under your control.
5. On the post-war resolution screen, select Annexation.

Do not choose Colonization (which turns the target into a puppet state) or Plunder (which extracts temporary cash and resources without changing borders). Selecting Annexation permanently dissolves the rival government and incorporates its borders directly into your nation.

4. Quelling Post-War Unrest and International Backlash

Absorbing a conquered nation causes immediate domestic unrest and lowers your international standing. Neighboring countries view unprovoked expansion as aggression, leading to severed trade pacts and foreign economic sanctions.

To prevent territory from revolting and to restore economic productivity:

• Enforce regional security: Deploy police units and National Guard battalions through the Ministry of Internal Affairs to suppress separatist factions before armed insurgencies seize infrastructure.
• Fund public welfare: Increase public safety and healthcare spending to raise local approval and reduce radicalization across the newly occupied populace.
• Repair damaged infrastructure: Reconstruct public utilities, power grids, and transit networks damaged during combat operations to stabilize regional efficiency.
• Restore resource output: Reopen local industrial facilities and raw material mines so oil, iron, and agricultural output flow directly into your national supply chain.
• Repair diplomatic relations: Send diplomatic delegations and provide economic aid through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to normalize relations with critical trade partners.
