Alien administration

[Mr_President]

So its about 2032 and the aliens have taken control of China because the servants basically let them. The nation is now called "alien administration " and is going absolute ham on all its neighbours. Me having control of the entire EU and the US decided to intervene with military, but I don't seem to be able to declare war on them. Anyone have any ideas on why that is happening ?

And has anyone been able to actually defeat an alien administration yet ?

you might already be at war with them, do they show up in your relation tab ? otherwise you should be able to simply by rivaling them first. you can defeat them temporarily with military, or have them split up due to high unrest. but they'll come back as soon as the servant give them new land.

I'm in 2037, and the AA is close to having half the world's population under them. I originally managed to contain them for a while by throwing pretty much the entire world's nuclear stockpile at them, but that was a finite resources. They are stupidly resistant to any subversion attempts, occupation of their regions is a graveyard for any army, they get free 7.7 miltech armies sent to them regularly, they have a claim on every region on Earth, nations federated with them cannot leave the federation, they are supported by orbital bombardments and the non-pro-alien human factions can't even be assed to band together against them.

If the AA has any weakness, I haven't discovered it yet.

I just conquered the Alien Administration as the Resistance. I controlled USA, EU, and Russia when the Servants gave India over to the aliens, and Russia had been flipping between me and HF and was still allied to HF Pakistan. Pakistan declared war, and I used the opportunity to get involved. HF didn't think things through and lost Pakistan quickly while I sent all my navy-equipped armies to Hyderabad.

My greater number and higher mitech armies could fight off the Indian armies, and I occupied the region to recreate India under the Resistance. Notably this happened before UFO landings dropped off three armies with 7 miltech; I just had to fight the forces India had before annexation. Rather than rush the capital, I took region by region to assume command of the associated army (which were all stacked up in the AA capital of Kolkata). I did the same to recreate Pakistan.

The first UFO landed in a northern region of the subcontinent, and they were immediately met by nine of my armies which ranged from miltech 3.8 to 5.1. AI with partial control of EU and Russia sent a couple armies to the campaign, but they remained in Hyderabad.

Himalayan states joined AA just as I needed to make my way across them to liberate eastern India. The newly independent states still have high popular support for the Servants and Protectorate, so be ready with public campaigns when you get control. The Servants retook the Himalayan states and gave them back to the Alien Administration, so I sent my armies back in.

Servants also gave AA control of Colombia and later Venezuela while the capital remained in Kolkata, and AA only had one army left from Kolkata itself. A UFO unloaded in Colombia before I landed my armies in Venezuela, and without the landlocked Indian armies the battle in Venezuela didn't go as well as it had in Kashmir. I regrouped them all in Puerto Rico and direct invested to get navies for my EU Spanish and German armies. I lost control of Russian armies to HF over the course of the campaign.

Landing on three alien armies was still a difficult prospect, but they started leaving for northern Brazil to attack my French Guiana. While they occupied my European South America, I sent my armies to Colombia; this resulted in the alien armies trickling back, and my nine armies got to focus on individual alien invader armies instead of fighting all three simultaneously.

Brazil then joined the AA with their one army. I locally had enough military power from USA, UK, and EU to conquer them. With new governments in Colombia, Venezuela, and Brazil and French Guiana reintegrated into the European Union, the last holdout was the capital region of Kolkata. AA kept the strategic nukes from India and would use one on an army occupying the region. I tried to raise resistance enough for a regime change, but their councilors could stabilize faster than I could bring up unrest. The highest I got AA's unrest was into the 4's, and like crackdowns and purges, the coup mission isn't a valid option to target AA. Even though the country was just one region, that has a population over 300 million, so it took a lot of effort which ultimately didn't pay off.

When they ran out of nukes, they quickly fell. I completed the Greater India project in the meantime and brought Himalayan states and Pakistan into the federation. There was no great payoff for defeating the AA; maybe later in the game I would have had an objective for it, but presently my mission is understanding the alien language.

You cannot be allied to anyone that the aliens are allied to. You can see this on you relations screen if you hover mouse over alien flag. look under war requirements on the popup tooltip. hope this helps.
