Local Time: 8:21
A group of people are sitting around in their house in Port Gosens, when the news suddenly turns on.
It brings them to a news reporter, she looks shaken up, the group leans in, curious. The reporter speaks.
"It is a sad day for Genosa, at approximately 7:55PM, at Genos square, the Eternal Leader was giving a speech, when accordingly to witnesses, a armored black van rammed straight into the wooden stage the Eternal Leader was standing on."
The TV flickers for a second, before continuing on.
"The vans back doors flew open, with many different types of bombs, grenades, etc. Being thrown at the Eternal Leader and the massive crowd. The square is almost destroyed, with lots of damage."
The Camera turns to the rubble, broken concrete, tons of rubbish scattered everywhere, and lots of lose gunpowder, currently being looked at by investigators.
"As you can see, the damage is unimaginable. Some parts of the rubbish even have... I'm gonna be sick.."
The Camera quickly turns away from the rubbish, turning to lots of ambulances, and in the back area, body bags.
"Paramedics have been doing all they can to help the injured civilians with their wounds, some may have life long injuries. It is currently unknown if the.."
The Reporter seems to be whispering to someone.
"Yea..."
"Oh..."
She turns back to the camera.
"Everyone, I have just been informed... The Eternal Leader did not survive. Telling by his injuries, if he did survive, he'd be in great pain. It is currently undecided who to replace him with, his son is being highly thought of but its still undecided. We will deliver more news later."
The news shuts off, the TV goes back to the old show the group was watching. The room is silent.

Conference in Toussaint
General Ezriel Deshmor and Colonel Thomas Hoffman sit on the balcony outside Ezriels office, smoking cigars. As they discuss nothing important and puff on their tobacco, the phone inside the office begins to ring. The Colonel sets his cigar on the ashtray, and walks inside to answer.
Office of General Deshmor, Colonel Hoffman Speaking.
The voice on the phone waits a moment before speaking.
Colonel Thomas Hoffman, your presence is requested at the National Assembly building. Inform General Deshmor that his presence is requested as well.
As the Colonel begins to respond, the line cuts. Hoffman sets the phone down and steps outside to let the General know. They extinguish their cigars and walk to the courtyard. As the two men get inside a vehicle and are driven to the Assembly building, a group of three WVSB officers enter Deshmors office. The first two who entered begin searching cabinets and drawers for any evidence proving Deshmors involvement in the assassination attempt. The third WVSB agent picks up the phone and makes a phone call.
Theyve left. Begin searching their homes.
While the offices and homes of both military officers are being searched, the WVSB prepare for their arrival. As the two military men enter the courtyard in their vehicle, theyre met by two WVSB agents. They escort the General and Colonel into the building, and up to one of the many conference rooms. As they enter, theyre met by Chancellor Jim Borgia sitting at the head of the conference table, surrounded by an entourage of WVSB guards. The Chancellor smiles at his military officers.
Good to see you again, General Deshmor. Please take a seat. You as well, Colonel.
Before sitting down, the General and Colonel both salute their Chancellor. Borgia resumes speaking.
I am sure youre both aware of the ongoing investigation into the shooting against myself. The WVSB has so far not come up with much.. which is why I was hoping I could rely on the Federalist Army to aid in the investigation.
General Deshmor smirks. Of course, Chancellor. The Federalist Army is able to find the shooters associates.
The Chancellor nods. Very good. The first step is identifying this man for me. He motions for the WVSB agent at the door to open it up. As he does, two more agents step in nearly dragging the shooter David alongside them. The faces of Deshmor and Hoffman each turn white.
General Deshmor nearly chokes as he speaks. That is David Haush I thought you guys killed him during the shooting.
The Chancellor stares sternly at the military officers. Apparently not. Do you or the Colonel beside you have any relation to this man?
Before the General could respond, Colonel Hoffman stands and attempts to run out of the room. He makes it only a few feet out the door before he is met with a taser to the back. He falls to the ground and is apprehended by the WVSB. General Deshmor simply looks at the Chancellor in defeat. As Chancellor Borgia stands, he orders both men to be placed into protective custody.
Place the General and his Adjutant in protective custody. Remove all of their personal possessions and military insignia. Throw them in separate cells. He begins walking out the door before looking at the man who shot him once more. Take David somewhere into the forest and shoot him. The public already thinks hes dead. The Chancellor and his entourage of guards exit the room and walk down the hallway. The WVSB agents swarm the General and place him in handcuffs. All three cuffed men are taken out of the building through a back door, and put into separate vans. All three vans exit the courtyard and drive in separate directions..

The familiar sounds of phone typing emerges as Co-Consul Johann Carraway stares at his message he's trying to say. His phone's glare is reflecting on his glasses. In the chatroom, it appears that he's messaging Co-Consul William Axlerod; which he named "Axeman."
"y did u say what u said fam" his blue message bubble said.
The grey bubble with three dots appears, which means that the other person is typing.
DING!
"aint wrong" Axlerod replied.
Carraway is shocked, it took him a while to fabricate a response.
"fym aint wrong" he typed,
"u think vibe checkin the whole gang is sensible?" immediately followed.
"ngl fam i was washed" Axlerod admits,
"line goes mad hard tho" says Axlerod, bargaining to Carraway.

"say 'askrg is comited to regional peace' theyll eat it up trust" answers Axlerod.
"bet" says Carraway, ending the conversation.

CO-CONSUL JOHANN CARRAWAY LAUNCHES HOSPITAL SHIPS
Co-Consul Carraway is standing on a podium. The name plate 'Aurora City Dry Docks' is hanging above him, with red drapes underneath it.
"Proud citizens of Askrieg," says Carraway opening the speech,
"Today, we are witnessing a significant milestone in Askrieg's unwavering dedication towards Talonia's peace and humanitarian aid. With the launch of two cutting-edge hospital ships, we are reaffirming our steadfast commitment to providing crucial medical support and relief to those in dire need across the entire region." Carraway said, while fixing his glasses.
"These magnificent vessels serve as powerful symbols of our unyielding determination to promote peace and stability. They stand as a testament to our enduring resolve to assist our neighboring nations during times of unprecedented crisis. The contract for the construction of these ships were signed with representatives from the nation of Tarukistanate some 6 months ago."
"People of Askrieg, let me proudly introduce to you, KRA Harapan Samudra and KRA Mandala Kencana!"
The red drapes behind the podium drops, revealing only one ship on the docks to the right of the Consul. The other dock on the left, are void of any kind of ships.
"To the perceptive ones of you, you may only notice only one ship, the KRA Harapan Samudra." says Carraway jokingly, met with the faint laughter of the audience.
"The reason is that KRA Mandala Kencana have been tasked with its maiden mission. We have dispatched the Mandala Kencana to the gulf of Great Kalistan and Karkol. Their tension over Kashmir territories is of great concern of the region, and because of that we as a nation has vested interest in the matter. I am also tasking a 767 AWACS from 1st StratCom to monitor the situation and ensure the voyage's safety during the mission."
"Askrieg will remain committed to regional peace, and power projection is the first step to ensure it."

BRIDGE TO THE PROMISED LAND
In may of 2026, the book Bridge to the Promised Land written by author Joshüio Mansterkoff has skyrocketed in popularity and describes the traumatic true tale of a young boy escaping from the infamous Camp 19. An interrogation/work camp in the far North eastern side of Torturia. The book has been rated for adults of 18 and up only as it describes rather dark and bloody paragraphs which has got the population thinking. While some want to ban the book entirely for its dark and violent storytelling, others want to recommend it to even more people under 18. The government has opened up a poll which is rather ironic as this is the first democratic vote in Torturian history and its for a book. Here is a paragraph on page 132 of Bridge to the Promised Land describing its violent storytelling.
My dad was taken. They stripped of his clothes. They forced him to shower with harsh chemicals in his eyes. They stabbed his hands the water was red and rather smelled like dead fish. My mom was beaten to death and fed to the pigs. Me and my sister stayed in this camp for 12 years 12 brutal years I had to eat dead limbs, scavenge the dumpsters for termites, and my sister she was shot in the stomach 6 times one day when she failed to carry the heavy wood.

The Kashmir Crisis
What can only be described as a stalemate between Karkolian and Kalistani armed forces in the disputed territory of Kashmir that is claimed by both countries has began to come across as a large waste of time and money/military resources. General Farah has so far insisted on Kalistani troops not withdrawing from their positions and in fact has requested more resources and effort to be put into this 'staring contest' ,as the papers have been calling the situation at the moment, however these requests have been repeatedly denied as the rest of the Military High Command disagrees almost completely with the move that was made and now are beginning to push for withdrawal. The Prime Minister, Bizhan Amir, has announced that if no progress is made in the near future, then we will be forced to withdraw our forces.
Although withdrawal seems to be the most popular choice at the moment, many high ranking members of the Kalistani Government are specifically against withdrawal simply because of the fact that it would change peoples perspective on the military strength and integrity that Great Kalistan possesses. To withdraw from Kashmir at this point in time, would put us at risk of being underestimated and put us at a loss of respect from not only our enemies but perhaps our friends also. The most optimistic view would be that Kalistan should get to work on finding a solution in which the Kashmir dispute is resolved and Kalistan remains respected and seen as a large power within our region and throughout the international community.
The Kings Speech
King Irifisa II stood in front of what is likely the largest crowd formed within the capital city since the Human Rights Marches of 2006 last night to make an "important speech" to his people. No permission was given to the King in order for him to be allowed to get to this point however his authority as, well the King of Kalistan sort of gave him some leeway in getting to where he needed to be for this. The crowd wasn't cheering at first, they were too confused and some even shocked to be seeing their King stood casually in the city centre about to talk to them face to face. Usually the King is behind a television screen or printed on a newspaper so to see him in real life, in the flesh right there in front of their eyes was definitely something new.
Something else to note, the King did not look to have any sort of script in his possession; the only thing atop his podium was a microphone and glass of water, which he now took a few sips from before he began.
My people. I call you my people for the simple reason that I see myself as almost a father figure of sorts to you, in the respect that I feel an overwhelming and heavy responsibility to take care of ,and ensure a good life for you all to the best of my ability. I realise, I truly do realise that you are going through an unimaginably difficult and worrying time at the moment, with the Kashmir Conflict nearby and crime especially in major cities such as here in Bahdi hitting peak frequency. I also realise that you may feel a lot of hate for your government because of these reasons and although I could stand up here and tell you all that you shouldn't be angry with us, I truly cannot do so because I know deep down it isn't true.
You all have every right to dislike your government and more not only because of the poor decisions that have been made, and the good decisions that haven't, but also because you have the right to hate your government. Excuses have to stop being made, and changes have to start taking place if we expect you to forgive and forget so easily. As your King, and like I said your father figure in my eyes, I swear on my life and by everything I love and hold close, that I will do EVERYTHING in my power to make the appropriate changes and fix what needs fixing!
As the speech ended, the crowd, which before was riddled with confusion and curiosity, was now erupting with gleaming faces and roars of applause cascading across the crowd which had now nearly doubled in size. The applause lasted for nearly eight full minutes before everybody calmed down and people started to leave. The King even stepped down to shake a few hands and hold a few babies before heading back to the Palace with an uncommonly large grin spread from ear to ear across his face.
The people are starting to adore their King once again. Perhaps even more than their Prime Minister and parliament.....

The Leninist Leader, Borita Norvi's Office
Local Time:9:12 PM
2 men walk into the office.
"Was it done?" (Bortia)
"Yes sir." (Man #1)
One of the men slide a newspaper across the table, the headline reads "Eternal Leader passes from recent bombing in Genos."
"Very good..." (Borita)
"So, where's our payme-" (Man #2)
He's interrupted.
"This is great, don't yall see? With Potiski gone, we have the chance to take over Genosa. Spread Leninism!" (Borita)
"Yes sir, but-" (Man #1)
"We can rule Genosa as it should be." (Bortia)
Man #1 smashes his hand on the table, it doesn't break or anything, but Borita stops talking.
"Where's our payment." (Man #1)
The men are agitated.
"Oh yes... pay." (Borita)
Borita snaps his fingers, 2 guards enter the room, and put a briefcase on the table, then leave.
"Is this it?" (Man #2)
"Check inside." (Borita)
The two men open the case, finding it empty.
"What is thi-" (Man #2)
The 2 guards from earlier return, and with silenced pistols, shoot the 2 men in the back of the head, killing them instantly.
"Hide the bodies in a dumpster or something." (Borita)
Borita turns to a map of Genos.
"Prepare the activists, rioters, and others, because the Leninist revolution is here!" (Borita)
He slams his fist on the table, the 2 men drag the bodies, and leave the room.

The Non-Marxist Leader, Teorio Rotia's office.
Local Time:7:18AM
Teorio walks into a room, there are 4 other higherups, he silently walks to the middle seat, and he begins to speak.
"My friends, it is time." (Teorio)
The higherups nod their heads in agreement.
"With the government in shambles, it'll be a piece of cake." (Teorio)
One of the higherups ask.
"Sir, we are quite lucky Potiski is dead, did you kill him?" (higherup #1)
Teorio looks the man.
"You doubting me and my power?" (Teorio)
"No sir, just wondering who got to him first." (Higherup #1)
Teorio sighs.
"Well, I didn't get him, so that means the Leninists did." (Teorio)
"Those gosh darn.." (Higherup #2)
Teorio puts his finger over his mouth, and whispers, "Shh."
"This is good, they did the dirty work for us." (Teorio)
"The Leninists may be a problem." (Higherup#3)
"Why do you say that?" (Teorio)
"What if they beat us to it?" (Higherup #3)
"What?" (Teorio)
"Oh, yea. If they killed Potiski, that means they're planning something." (Higherup #1)
Teorio gets a idea.
"Gentlemen, prepare our activists, our people, get everyone you can on our side, we're going on a race for control of the government!"
The men leave, Teorio chuckles, then spins his chair, and stares outside his window.
A man in Itopia is watching the news, the headline reads "Coup failed in Genos"
Local time:10:47 AM
The man leans in to the tv.
"The political instability has finally come back to bite us, as just earlier today a coup had been attempted at the Genos government building." (Reporter)
The reporter coughs, before moving on.
"The coup began at 7:27. When trucks, cars, vans, you name it, sped straight to the government building. The police was dispatched, but they embarrassingly failed to do anything, being quickly beaten." (Reporter)
She looks at a paper in her hands.
"It has also been revealed, from leaked documents, the Leninist leader, Borita Norvi was the man who helped and funded the Genos square bombing. It is also believed Non-Marxist flags were flown in the crowd, this is proven by footage from the cameras." (reporter)
She looks to the cameraman and nods.
"Hundreds died during the coup, with thousands injured. Luckily, the government building guards managed to stop the protestors, using the kill or be killed philosophy." (reporter)
"Thousands of arrests have been made, it is unknown where Teorio and Borita have ran off to, but its suspected they fled the country." (reporter)
The news headline changes to "Norris Woar takes charge."
"With Potiski's sad passing, a new person had to rule Genosa, as said, the Leninists and non-Marxists tried to take control, but they had failed, so his son and now leader of Genosa, Norris Woar has become the new Eternal Leader of Genosa." (Reporter)
The camera shakes a little bit, then the reporter continues.
"The New Eternal Leader, is currently giving a speech at Genos city hall, all yours Henry." (reporter)
The Camera switches, to another reporter, whos infront of a podium at Genos city hall.
"Thank you Sherry, now I will go quiet so we can hear the New Eternal Leaders speech." (Reporter #2)
The camera turns, facing the town hall, a large podium is there, and the New Eternal Leader is standing there, he begins his speech.
"My people, it is a sad time for us, a attempted coup, my father dying... But I shall fix Genosa! We need to fix the political instability, and of course, improve the peoples lives. I will continue in my fathers footsteps!"
The crowd cheers, growing with applause, the crowd soon dies down, so he continues.
"My first act, of my rule of Genosa, is to create the One party system. We will ban all other parties, and keep the one you all love, Marxism! As a matter of fact, we will begin hunting down the groups of people who hurt your families, friends, etc. The recent actions done by these people will not go unpunished!"
The Crowd cheers, even louder, with Genosan flags being waved all throughout the crowd.
"In my fathers honor, we will be building a statue of him, holding a Genosan flag, this statue will show our national pride, and loyalty to our great leaders before us!"
The crowd continues to cheer.
"Long live Genosa! Long live Marxism! Long live the Eternal Leader!"
The crowd gives one final cheer, as The New Eternal leader walks off the stage.

Support from Communists!
Although the United Kingdom of Great Kalistan has had its quarrels with Communist countries in the past, today we witness the first diplomatic and militarily positive interaction between our country and that of a Communist run country since the early 20th century. Taruk government officials as well as Chairman Tomsky Lotto, leader of The Peoples Republic of Tarukistanate, met in the Kalistani capital city of Bahdi this morning to discuss the subject of the Kashmir Crisis and not only how it should be resolved, but also the stance of Chairman Tomsky Lotto on the matter. The Chairman negotiated long and hard until finally an agreement was come to in around three hours of back and forth. The final deal was made and included the following terms:
- Great Kalistan is to relieve the country of any anti communist propaganda or anti communist support. The Communist party of Kalistan (The PCPK) must be allowed equal campaigning rights, the same chance and opportunity to gain popularity and be elected as the official part of Kalistan.
- Tarukistanate will openly and publicly support the Kalistani claims on the Kashmir region and denounce the Karkolian occupation of these rightfully Kalistani territories.
- Tarukistanate will transport a large stockpile of Taruk rifles and ammunition to Military Bases in Kalistan for the Kalistani military to use for training soldiers and active duty usage.
We hope to see where this new relationship goes moving forward and are happy to see a country supporting our cause. As a result of this foreign support, the popularity of a withdrawal from the disputed Kashmir territory has gone down severely which has both pleased the original supporters of the retaking of Kashmir, and upset the many people who do not support the move.

The Legion of Kalistani Workers
The Communist party in Kalistan has been growing significantly in popularity throughout the country. Especially among the working class population in major urban regions such as the capital city of Bahdi which has been experiencing many small though still worrying protests about the governments spending budgets, taxation of the lower classes and not enough taxation of the upper classes as well as a hatred toward the "greed" and "narcissism" that drains the peoples finances sourced from the monarchy. These factors have (as previously mentioned) led to small and yet still problematic protests and a noticeable expansion in terms of support for the Communist party (LKW). Leader of the Communist party, Uhara Miv has also dazzled the nation with his charismatic and persuasive appeal during many speeches made in the lower class areas of the capital and other major cities across the country.
It is safe to say that the Communists are gaining support massively and while many are displeased by this, many are converting to the idea and accepting the new ideology as one to bring all classes of Kalistan together and reject classism altogether.
Security Measures
As the Kalistani Armed Forces push through the claimed Kashmir territories that haven't already been occupied by Karkolian soldiers, they have also been instructed to lay landmines in the towns and villages that have been evacuated fully and also to plant other security measures and "traps" in order to deter any Karkolian forces from these lands and to "scare them away" from pushing any further.

MANDALA KENCANA ARRIVES ON KARKOL-KALISTAN BORDER
Early by a day, the newest Askriegian hospital vessel, Kapal Republik Askrieg Mandala Kencana, arrived beyond the coast of Karkol-Kalistan border. Their presence their was an effort by the Consuls to mediate between the parties of the Kashmir conflict. The mission focuses on providing medical aid and supplies towards both sides of the conflict. The ship is also equipped with de-escalation methods, namely giant subwoofer speakers that blasts "STOP FIGHTING" between playing Smash Mouth's 'Walkin on the Sun.' The effectiveness of this method is unknown however, our troops are still waiting for an official response from the Great Kalistan and Karkol governments.
RIVERBOATS TOUR OF ISHISKI!
Co-Consul William Axlerod attended the maiden voyage of brand-new Askriegian riverboats on the River Mary Major. The riverboats will serve as a new tourist attraction for people that is interested in exploring the river towards Ishiski territories. This new tourism program also benefits from a free-visa policy, where passengers of the boats are exempt from border and custom checks upon arrival on Ishiski territories. However, upon embarking on the boats, the would-be passengers must be cleared first by the Askrieg Intelligence Agency to ensure their identity and belongings. The first route will depart from the port of Marsada, then following along the river westbound towards the city of Volgozov then eventually, Nazov.

CO-CONSUL CARRAWAY RESPOND TO SEDP IMPLICATIONS
A fleet of journalists can be seen waiting on the steps of State Palace. They're usually there to catch the Advisors and staff while on their way to and from the palace to get a quote. Today, unlike any days before, they catch the presence of Co-Consul Carraway; having a sudden urge to use the public transport. The journalists immediately flock towards the Consul.
"Carraway! Ishiski government announced the South Eurasian Defense Program immediately after the launch of the riverboats! Does this mean that they do not trust the tourism initiative by Askrieg, sir?" cried one journalist.
"Of course they trust us, don't be silly. You wouldn't invite a thief in your home if you already know their intention is to break open the safe and steal your child, would you. That would be a ridiculous way to conduct diplomacy. Ishiski government merely is trying to improve their self-defense in case of foreign attacks. We would've done the same, y'know." answer Carraway eloquently.
"Do you think that the government of Genosa had influenced them in some way to join the pact?" asked another journalist.
"If you imply that they coerced the Ishiskin government into the pact then I don't know. It's not like Askrieg has one of the leading intelligence agency in the region with dozens of operational success, have we? Surely we have not infiltrate both nations to acquire privileged, actionable intel beforehand." answered Carraway with a chuckle.
"Sir, with the establishment of the SEDP, would it be wise now to relax the border restriction for Genosans? Wouldn't it seem logical to not seek enemy, especially with an alliance pact on their side?" asked another one of the journalist.
"Oh, I have no fear in seeking enemies. Comes with the territory. I very much subscribe to the words of the Scottish poet, Charles Mackay: 'You have no enemies, you say? Alas, my friend, the boast is poor. He who has mingled in the fray of duty that the brave endure, must have made foes. If you have none, small is the work that you have done. Youve hit no traitor on the hip. Youve dashed no cup from perjured lip. Youve never turned the wrong to right. Youve been a coward in the fight.' I think that's all for now boys. I'm catching the 2.40 North-bound." answered Carraway as he hurriedly jog down the steps of the subway.

THE MOTORCADE
Colonel X is desperately trying to dial his phone while speeding on the highway. He is on his way to San Quentin, a town 45 minutes north of Aurora. He finally found the number he was looking for and began calling. His gaze is now fixed on the road ahead of him. Civilian cars fly amongst him as he passes them haphazardly in his state-mandated SUV.
The call connects, and he shouts, "Who gave the clearance to stand down the 12th Army Intelligence ahead of the Consul's trip?!"
The reply on the other end is unintelligible, but before they're finished the Colonel shouts back, "Well analyzing threats before the consul's trips was MY job, dumbass! But someone had the brilliant idea to reassign me out of state! Hang on, I'm on my way to Quentin right now!"
As the Colonel's car speeds off in the distance, a road sign reads "San Quentin: 20 km"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The cheer of the crowds can be heard from the buildings surrounding Quentin Park. Hundreds of people are seen lining the sidewalks of the main avenue, waving a black-red cross of Askrieg. They are expecting the arrival of Consul William Axlerod's motorcade. The Consul is expected to pass the park in about 3 more minutes, as the sudden route change made his motorcade to traverse an awkward bend around Quentin Park and Grass Knoll.
"Goddamnit, the phone's still not working." says Axlerod, putting his phone back in his breast pocket.
"I think it's because there's a lot of people gathering at one spot sir. My phone is not working either." quips San Quentin Mayor Jim Henderson.
"It's just that my entire cabinet is returning from a foreign visit overseas. Carraway is also on the air to Extremium on a state visit." says Axlerod as he waves towards the crowd on the brand new open-top limousine.
"Huh, if i knew any better this would be a perfect time to ambush the most important person in Askrieg." says Henderson with a smirk and a tinge of sarcasm.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"No, I have no idea that the 2nd Stratcom is on the air towards Aurora area. No one i know gave such order. Hang on I'm arriving in San Quentin, i want-- Hello?" Colonel X glances at his phone after his call ended abruptly. 'NO SERVICE' is displayed on his phone. It is really unusual for a town this size have a network bandwith issue to cause a mass blackout of communications.
Then it hits him, this is all too familiar. He used to run black-ops when he was in AIA, and just so happened 'installed' a few Askrieg-friendly heads of state here and there. He remembered the agency's guide handbook for coup d'e'tats:
1. Containment. Disable communications to easily control information; the 12th Army Intelligence stood down and network blackout.
2. Isolation. Remove key figures of government to limit external interference; the cabinet and co-consul out of Askrieg.
3. Crowd Control. Dispatch personnel to overwhelm the public and control the narrative; the 2nd Stratcom coming to Aurora.
All of those had been set. Only one step is remaining. Execution.
He runs as fast as he can to Quentin Park.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
He only gets as far as the sidewalks, as the crowd is beginning to amass more. He can't cross the street, and he can't spot one policemen or even one secret service personnel guarding the street. He's even more convinced now that something is definitely going on.
He looks across his sidewalk, towards the Quentin Park. He noticed the street the motorcade is about to go through is bent ever so slightly at an awkward angle. He then looks right, he noticed a wooden fence on top of Grass Knoll. He looks behind him towards the Quentin Central Post Office building. Then he looked beside him on the Regent's Park Apartments building. If he were to plan the entire thing, he would plan the kill-zone right here. He'd put a team on the fence on the Knoll, one on the Post Office building, and one on the apartments next to it. Perfect triangulation of fire.
"It'd be a turkey shoot..." whispered Colonel X under his breath.
Then, the motorcade came.
Colonel X noticed the consul is on an open-top limousine that he never saw before, and everything clicks in his head. This is it, his instincts are correct. He began to call to one of the consul's security detail then...
BANG!!!
A shot rang out the Park area. But nobody seemed to notice, they must've assumed it was an exhaust misfire or a balloon popped off. Consul Axlerod seemed to grip his throat, it's like he's having a sudden cough, or been hit with something.
BANG! BANG!!
The second and third shot came almost at the same time. Now the crowds begin to realize that those are actual shots and that something is definitely happening. Some of the crowds began laying on the floor, some runs away without direction, some began screaming and took cover behind the park benches. Co-Consul Axlreod can be seen slumped over the seat beside him. But, against all common sense, the car began to slow down.
BANG!
The fourth shot rang out. The more perceptive member of the crowd is connecting the dots between the shots being fired towards Consul Axlerod being slumped over on his seat. Then, the round hits Axlerod right on the back of his head. The crowd can see the splatter of blood on the white leather-lined seats of the car. After the killshot is delivered, the car begins to speed away.
Colonel X is speechless on the sidewalk. Unlike the rest of the public, he knows the rounds are not meant for him, so he froze standing on the sidewalk. The events on that 30 second window played exactly step-by-step as he predicted in his head.
As the car speeds away under the Quentin overpass, his phone begins to turn on again. He quickly dialed a contact on his phone,
"Tim, patch me to State Palace" says X with trembled breath,
"Axlerod has been shot in Quentin."

Hadiza Officially Begins the Process to be Abandoned
Things have been quiet around Alstov-on-Don since the First Talonia War rocked the northern Talonia region many months ago. AOD was one of the hardest hit when it came to loss of life, resources, and finances. The nation has been quietly rebuilding ever since but still has a long way to go.
Unfortunately the nations rebuilding efforts will be missing in the city of Hadiza. This morning the government will take a major step in abandoning the city of Hadiza which has been declared a total loss. It would cost significantly more money to rebuild this city as oppose to moving citizens elsewhere throughout the nation. Alstov-on-Don Power & Energy will begin the process of fully disconnecting the city from the nations power grid. The nation has warned that nearby cities may experience brownouts and blackouts during this process as major electrical lines connecting to other cities will need to be powered off for a certain amount of time. This process will not happen overnight but will see the city sectioned off at a time. AODP&E has also announced that water will continue to run throughout the city but will be shut off sometime next year. Many citizens have not even returned to the city since the war.
Many people are asking the government what will happen to remaining infrastructure that is still standing. The government has said there are no plans for the infrastructure that remains and that everything will just be abandoned. The government isnt wasting money on demolishing buildings, homes, or even repoing vehicles on a city that will soon be vacated. The government will just let nature takes its course. Wildlife is expected to come back to the city. All citizens remaining in Hadiza will be ordered to vacate as power starts getting shut off. City government is expected to vacate at the beginning of next year.

NORRIS WOAR WALKS ONTO A STAGE, IN GENOS CITY SQUARE
Local time: 4:33
The New Eternal Leader, Norris Woar, sets his papers onto the podium, behind him is a big sheet covering something, there are 4 security guards guarding the stage.
He speaks.
"The great people of Genosa, I am here today to give a historic speech." (Norris)
A small cheer rises among the crowd.
"As said in my last speech, a statue was told to be made of my father, the past Eternal Leader, Potiski Woar. And I did not lie about that!" (Norris)
The crowd looks to the sheet as its removed, revealing a massive statue of the past Eternal Leader. The crowd erupts into cheers.
"My great father will not be forgotten. Now, I believe its time to tell why I'm truly here." (Norris)
the crowd goes quiet.
"As you know, hitmen were hired on my father, our intelligence agency has revealed that the hitmen were part of a small terrorist group, based in Yerito." (Norris)
Small whispers raise above the crowd.
"So, I officially announce, the creation of the Genosan anti-Terrorist company. This group of well trained military men will help defend you all from terrorists. Give them a round of applause." (Norris)
6 armed military men walk onto stage.
The crowd erupts into cheering.
"We will not let these terrorists ruin this country!" (Norris)
The crowd cheers louder.
"WE WILL NOT STOP, UNTIL EVERY DANGEROUS TERRORIST IN THIS NATION, IS EXTERMINATED!" (Norris)
Norris regains his posture, then leaves the stage, entering a black limousine, he drives off.
Tarukistanate, Ishiski
The piercing Askriegian sunlight made its' way among the windows of San Quentin Police Department building. On the 2nd floor, it's painfully obvious to Colonel X that the officers are making an exception for him, considering his high-rank in the Revolutionary Guard. He stares down the window, beyond the quaint small towny room he is in. The words of the officer before him dissipate among his thoughts of what happened 10 days ago. He can't shake the feeling that the death of Co-Consul William Axlerod is somehow his fault. Granted, he was reassigned to some backwater guard post miles away; guarding some quasi-political figures on their 'troop inspection' for the cameras, but his routine duty was to ensure the safety of the Co-Consuls during travel.
It also doesn't help that Axlerod's cranium was blown open right in front of his face.
"...well, Colonel?" said the SQPD officer, finishing up his unheard sentence with a question.
"Oh, sorry, officer. I didn't hear." X blurted out.
"Colonel, your reluctance to give a detailed statement really doesn't help with the investigation efforts." says the officer as he got up from his chair and begins walking towards the door.
"But perhaps, you'd be more compelled to talk if, our friend, is the one asking the questions." the officer said, as he opened the door and exits the room.
A blonde blue-eyed man walks in the room. He is in an ill-fitting suit, like some salaryman that just on his way back from work. His appearance is... average. Not in a condescending kind of way, but in a blending-in-a-crowd kind of way. He looks as if the phrase 'hiding in plain sight' was a person. There is absolutely nothing notable about his appearance that could make him stand out in a line-up.
Colonel X is curious. It can't be the Agency, their agents couldn't help themselves to a tailored suit with their benefits budget and whatnot. He can't be Army intelligence; he lacks the muscle definition and the sense of entitlement in his steps. Can't also be local PD detective; if he was, why would the officer stepped out of the room ominously?
The man flashes a badge ID,
"I'm with the State Security Service, Colonel [REDACTED]" says the man.
"I've never heard of a State Security Service." questions the Colonel, now even more baffled than before.
"And we'd like to keep it that way." the man pulled a chair to sit across from the table.
"Wasn't the secret police abandoned during the riots?" asks X, seeming to recall a security memo during that time.
"Yet here I sits, Colonel. But, that is the working theory. Budgetary cuts and so forth. Unlike you in the AIA, we can't and won't, outfit ourselves with tailored suits and designer perfumes. Who was your superior officer in the Agency, Colonel?" says the man.
The cadence of which the man speaks in is weird. It's as if a highly-intelligent AI uses thousands of voice recordings to synthesize human speech. It has no vocal cords or discernible dialect to speak in, but the words that come out sounds as if something inhumane is mimicking human speech perfectly. The Colonel was hesitant to answer, considering his tenure in the AIA was highly classified. But judging that this... figure already knows this classified information, he thought common courtesy is to at least not lie to him.
"I reported directly to Maria Rose, while she was still the Commissioner, before being stationed in Taruk anyways. I was--"
"The Director of Covert Operations, yes. I have it in good authority that you pioneered the Black Operations division as well?" says the man coldly, stealing the Colonel's words out of his mouth.
"Uh... yes. What--" blurted the Colonel briefly before being cut again.
"So this must come at no surprise to you. You only heard 3 shots, Colonel [REDACTED]. Not four, not five, three rifle shots during that day. What you heard afterwards were echoes of the shots before." says the man.
"But--"
"Your military experience recognizes the characteristics of a 7.62 rounds that was fired that day. And you definitely did not see the car slows down." says the man with conviction in his eyes.
The Colonel is speechless. He remembered this part of the Agency handbook, misinformation. He just never thought he would sit on the other chair for once.
"Smoke and mirrors?" asks the Colonel.
"For the good of the country, Colonel." answers the man as he opens the door to leave, "I'm sure you understand, Colonel."
The officers that left before now enters the room and sits across the shellshocked Colonel. They started the recorder on their phones.
"So, Colonel." says one of the officers, "After a brief reflection alone, what can you tell us about what you saw that day?"
The Colonel is silent for a moment, before staring down the officers with that familiar Agency-brand gaze of ambiguity.
"I heard three shots." says the Colonel.

BREAKING NEWS!
Genosan Embassy opened in Volgozov
News reporter Kozlov Timurovich appears on screen in front of a brick and marble building, with the Genosan coat of arms on the front and flying the Genosan flag.
Good evening, Ishiski! Today, is a very special day in the history of Ishiski. Because today is the opening of the FIRST EMBASSY, here in Volgozov! And its by our very own partner, Genosa.
She turns to the building and waves at a worker opening the front doors of the building, he waves back.
The praise this move has had is very astounding, and people all around Genosa and Ishiski support it at a rate of 82 percent! One of the most approved things In Ishiski, besides the beginning of the SEDP earlier this month.
A high quality graphic of Approval rates pops up on the screen beside her, and she doesnt speak for a few seconds.
Now, there has been a bit of outcry by a small portion of people. Some believe its an attempt to globalize Ishiski and destroy its culture, but we at INNN do not think that, and that what they say is wrong. Thats is all, and thank you for watching INN-
Off camera, loud pops are heard. Kozlov and the cameraman run beside the embassy and hide behind a pillar.
I- oh my god! K-keep rolling!
5 Men in military gear and balaclavas walk out into the street, and cars try to u turn away from the area before being shot at and stopping. They walk to the front of the embassy before noticing the two news crew, and firing at them
The news glitches, and cuts to footage from a helicopter above the embassy. A man speaks over the footage
Breaking news! Masked men attack newly opened embassy. 12 dead, and 20 injured! The identities of the men have not been found, but they were discovered wearing patches of a black shield and skull with an unidentifiable white text around it. 4 of the masked men were all neutralized, and the surviving one is currently being questioned. This is Sary Boichev at INNN, signing out.

He walks to the door of the cell, and looks at the guards.
(Man 2:) do whatever you need to get who he works for out of him. Hes close, I can feel it.
(Soldier 1:) yes, General Politkas.
He exits the cell, and the soldier moves to Radko. He begins to yell at him, and beat him.

A MILITARY BASE ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF GENOS.
Local Time: 3:31PM
A military plane, armed with a few micro-missiles, and 2 guns on each side, lands on a small dirt runway.
A military officer approaches the 6 well equipped soldiers.
"Its time." (Officer)
The 6 get up, and walk in a single file line to the plane entrance door.
"Gentlemen, you know your orders, yes?" (Officer)
"Yes sir." (The men almost speak in unison)
The men begin boarding the plane, strapping themselves in.
The officer approaches the group captain.
"Don't fail us Marley..." (Officer)
The captain nods, the officer leaves, the plane door shuts, and the pilot makes a small announcement to the soldiers.
"Gentlemen, the anti-terrorism company I believe, we are heading to Volgozov." (Pilot)
The plane lifts off the ground, and the flight begins.
Soon approximately a hour and a half later, the plane lands, the men unstrap themselves, grab their gear, and exit the plane.

The "Republic" of Estal
The Federal State of Estal has recently officially replaced its title to the new label of The Republic of Estal. This move has been extremely controversial not just within the country but on an international level as it is crystal clear to most aware of the political state of the region that Estal remains an openly authoritarian and totalitarianist regime run by a head of state controlling all power throughout the country and not elected by the people in any way. This new title has upset many and been named a deception of the public and of both outsiders and insiders concerned.
There was a press conference held outside the capitol building however no questions were answered whatsoever and instead the President simply stood and stared at the people attending before leaving with a particularly stern frown on his face (this wasn't too shocking however seeing as the President often chose to scowl over smiling).
There hasn't been any legislative differences to the constitution nor law within the country that would indicate any sort of democratic influence that may have caused this title replacement and it seems that the move was purely a diplomatic strategic action rather than an official change due to any significant governmental reform.

A radio transmission comes in.
(Man on radio:) "Team, this is General Politkas. We have confirmed intel on the presence of the madman that started this, at coordinates XXX XXX XXX. Move in and secure the target. Be cautious, we expect heavy resistance."
Sounds of vehicles screeching to a halt outside the safe house. Doors slam as operatives from Ishiski and Genosa swiftly move into position.
(XXX:) "Gaurds spotted at the entrance. Ready for breach."
they take out the front gaurds, and plant explosives on the double doors
The door blasts open. Gunfire erupts as the operatives storm the building, swiftly clearing rooms and securing corridors.
(XXX:) "Clear on the left!"
(XXX:) "Moving to the second floor!"
The operatives move throughout the first floor, and take out many guards. There is one casualty: Only one soldier with an Ishiskian patch on his arm.
(XXX:) "Target's location?"
(XXX:) "Second room, on the right!"
The team converge on the doors, and burst it open. They find the kommandir of the terrorists. He runs to a balcony and tries to jump off of it, but is held back by quick operatives.
(Kommandir:) "LET GO OF ME- you- fxxk!"
(XXX:) "Target secured! Prepare for extraction!"
They walk down and exit through the front doors, and walk to the courtyard where a few more skirmishes are happening, as a few cans of insurgents drive into the estate.
(Politkas:) "Well done, team. Get ready for immediate extraction."
The operatives escort the captured kommandir to a waiting helicopter
(XXX:) "Package secured, ready for evac!"
(Politkas, on radio): "Mission accomplished. Return to Kadzyel, and you will be debriefed."
They load the Kommandir on the helicopter, and they lift out of the courtyard and above the town of Yekalma. The bodycam shows the skirmish on the ground ending as the helicopter passes over the river Tatsya.

SAINT ANTHONYS FIRE
fungal poisoning spreads in Yablochko causing mass panic
Saint Anthonys Fire refers to the fungal poisoning disease killing over 40,000 inhabitants of the city of Yablochko. A medium sized city divided into 15 districts and a total population of 788,000. This catastrophic disease was first introduced into the country by mushroom and expired meat products smuggled into the nation. The mood and fungi quickly attached themselves onto the meat and after consumption, these fungis poisons became 10 times more poisonous after touching stomach acid. During 2026, after the war, the nation was in ruins and grocery stores were bringing out foods YEARS after their expiration date. Some reports even say extreme poverty citizens were consuming DIRT and BODILY WASTE during the toughest times after the war. Saint Anthony refers to the Saint in Christian mythology that faced Satan. This pandemic quickly brought light to the cruelty of Torturians against their own nations people
day 21 of Saint Anthonys Fire:
A woman, wearing rags and holding a bottle of half drank Vodka, stands up from the sidewalk she was sitting on. The strong smell of alcohol and trash cover her body. She is approximately 35 to 40 years old. The street shes sitting on is Duke Poïshven street. A run down district in Yablochko. The disease has spread rapidly in the downtown region of Yablochko so many poorer citizens ran to the suburbs. Suddenly, a man beside her, probably around the age of 50, screams in pain with his whole body twitching and itching. His face is bright red and he collapses onto the street. His screams get fainter and fainter as his lungs give out. But not a single drop of blood comes out of him He then collapses and is motionless dead. The drunken woman seems to have had enough and starts screaming with some patriotic gang folk standing right beside her holding a few Glocks and headbands of the Torturian military symbol.
EVERYONE! YOU ARE ALL SINNERS! THIS IS THE WORK OF SATAN! FIRES FROM HELL! PRAY AT SAINT ANTHONYS CATHEDRAL AND YOU WILL BE HEALED! HE IS THE ONLY ONE THAT FACED SATAN!
One of the gangs members quickly pin her to the wall with a block pointed to her forehead. The man has a giant bruise across his eye and a missing leg with an amputated leg in its place.
DONT YOU DARE MENTION CHRISTIANITY IN TORTURIA! WE ARE ATHEIST. THIS RELIGION IS NOTHING BUT WITCHCRAFT. KILL HER!
The woman grabs the mans arm and twists it sending the man howling in pain. She then grabs a crowbar from the ground and slams the guys amputated leg and sends bits of metal flying in all directions. The man falls to the ground and a fatal crack can be heard. His other gang friends see him lying on the ground and immediately tackle the woman.
ALL SINNERS! WORKERS OF THE DEVIL! BELIVE IN CHRIST! OUR SAVIOR! GO TO SAINT ANTHONYS CATHEDRAL NOW! PLEASE BEFORE IT GETS TOO LA-
The woman doesnt finish her sentence because the group of men gets her into a headlock and shoots her in the head the streets are silenced once again.
Saint Anthonys Cathedral is situated in an urban forest away from Torturian cities. It is 16 miles away from Yablochko. The small church is one of the only ones still standing after religion was abolished from Torturia in the Middle Ages. Now, only 20-30 estimated churches remain in Torturia. All ran by private secret organizations. After the word spread, more and more desperate Torturians seek guidance at the cathedral. Praying to Saint Anthony as more and more of their loved ones die due to this fatal disease

Emergency Powers
Following the takeover of Birobidjan City, The Birobidjanian In Government fled to the city of Toyles. Shortly after they reached Toyles, Parliament voted in favor of giving The Acting Prime Minister, Ivan Feign even more emergency executive powers. Feigns first orders were to enact a total press blackout across Birobidjan and to begin conscripting Birobidjanians to the military.
A Retreat From Bloyam
Shortly after the anarchists annexed the capital, Solomons Guard launched multiple surprise attacks on the surrounding forces that had been laying siege to the city. These attacks were surprisingly successful for Solomons Guard as they had little casualties and they were able to reclaim some suburbs they previously occupied.
Soon the forces would retreat to southern Birobidjan due to Feigns orders which would end the Siege. However, many battalions would join Solomons Guard as they were opposed to Feigns sudden takeover of Birobidjan.

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE GROUP STAGE 26/27 - A RETROSPECTIVE
The 2026-27 Champions League group stage has reached its conclusion, leaving football fans on the edge of their seats with gripping matches and unexpected outcomes. Some of these matches led to some particularly interesting results. Let's analyse what happened.
In Group A, perennial favorites Abka Khanbalik, winners of the 2026/27 KPL, secured the top spot with a dominant performance throughout the stage. The Kirinian giants showcased their prowess, winning 4 out of 6 matches and amassing 13 points. Neo-Sudal FC had initially led the charge with 4 points from 2 games while the other three teams' form were shaky, but were eventually dethroned by Atletizm Qasra after their 2-1 upset of Abka Khanbalik at home. However, Abka Khanbalik leapfrogged them in matchweek 5 after defeating Qasra 3-1 in the return leg, finishing top of the group while Qasra settled for second. Neo-Sudal would finish in third to qualify for the Talo League and SK Lyco finished last in a very difficult group.
Group B witnessed an intense battle for supremacy between underdogs Fall Amarner and Munkhada Dorgonsia, ultimately seeing Fall Amarner claim the top spot after Munkhada dipped in form. Despite a shaky start after being thrashed 7-0 by Munkhada, Amarner rallied back with impressive displays, going undefeated for the rest of the group stage and showcasing the importance of consistency. Munkhada secured the second spot, Lirussefred went down to the Talo League, while ATK Superkhel Singal surprisingly faced an early exit from the competition after only earning 2 points.
The unpredictable nature of Group C saw Red Bull Kharkhorum emerge as the narrow leaders, navigating through a challenging group that included established clubs Bacarra West Point and Geissele as well as dark horses Last Stand Devils. The Kirinian powerhouse, led by the likes of Nugai Gankhuyag and Timicin Ganzorig, displayed resilience and consistency, securing their place in the knockout stage and going undefeated the entire group stage despite 3 consecutive draws in the first three games. The battle for second place between Geissele and Bacarra was even more intense, with Bacarra West Point only edging Geissele out by a single point after a hard-fought draw against leaders Red Bull Kharkhorum on the last gameweek. Last Stand Devils, apart from a 5-0 loss to Bacarra, performed above expectations, exiting the competition honorably with the respect of its opponents.
Meanwhile, Group D provided its fair share of surprises, with New Hope Wolves topping the group despite facing stiff competition from Internazionale Aurora. The New Hope Dormarian side displayed their defensive prowess, with their defenders delivering stellar performances to ensure the Wolves' progression while the attackers did what they did best. Internazionale, on the other hand, underperformances massively, losing twice against New Hope Wolves despite finishing in second place. Yrchechii Xisza and NBC FK weren't really able to outgun the two giants they were put against and were mostly engaged in their own battle for Talo League qualification, ending in Yrchechii Xisza taking the spot.
Group E witnessed a stunning turn of events, as Sporting Dorgonsia, despite a tumultuous domestic campaign in which they finished 10th in the league and exited the cup in the round of 16, managed to clinch the top spot, showcasing glimpses of their vintage attacking football under new management. Their resurgence led them to outshine defending champions Moritsuki FC and a resilient Solamar Thunderstorms side, relegating the Dormarian team to the Talo League while Moritsuki sulked in second place. Askriegian side Capitol Guard wasn't able to offer much resistance to the three powerhouses and finished last with 3 points.
In Group F, Muro Insanguinato stamped their authority with a dominant display, comfortably securing the top spot. Meanwhile, LaEnergy Sports Team secured the second spot after overcoming tough competition from Imperial Titans, who dropped from the qualification zone after 3 losses in a row near the end of the campaign. First-timers Squirlis Craftsmen had a respectable run, earning 5 points after being put through a tough preliminary phase due to their low ranking.
Group G witnessed the Askrieg Honor Sentinels displaying their prowess by topping the group despite facing strong opposition from Talo League finalists Konstantinopolissporê. Despite a harrowing home loss to underdogs Club Obsidiana Supreme (who finished 3rd), the Sentinels managed to maintain their composure, securing their spot in the next stage of the tournament. Fgisran Ixte sit bottom of the group after a tumultuous run that only yielded 2 points.
Finally, Group H unfolded with Northbl FC securing the top spot. The La Vladisin side, led by a strong midfield trio, showcased moments of brilliance to emerge as group leaders despite suffering a 6-1 loss to Red Bull Xerstad in a defensive collapse while Hime-no-Guardians secured the second spot with their consistent performances. Red Bull Xerstad finished third even after two brilliant 6-1 and 5-1 victories against Northbl and Erralas Futbolo, mostly owing to their poor defense. Erralas Futbolo finish last with a record-breaking 0 points and -22 goal difference. Better luck next year!
The conclusion of the group stage sets the stage for thrilling knockout matches, promising football fans across the globe more enthralling action and fierce competition in the quest for international glory in the Champions League. Stay tuned for information from the knockout stages.

VOTE RESULTS FOR THE YEARLY EARLY ELECTION DECISION
every year,Fagtermilians of all 3 regions vote for whether they want an early election, instead the normal every 6 years election.
Most likely because of the drug cartel problem in Squirlis, the votes for Cievas came in as 84% for and 16% against. In Sepow the results were quite even with 44% voting for and 56% against. Xerstads results were a bit one sided,possibly to do with the fact that Lirussefred is quite a wealthy, governmental city and the votes were 29% for and 71% against.The individual reigonal results are only counted in case the overall percentage ends up as a tie.the overall percentage ended up as:
For:52%
Against:48%
This means that soon an election will happen.the current leader,Frederick Hadle, has yet to confirm whether he wants to run in this election.

Altsord, Southern Volkstonia
The usual, uneasy quiet is interrupted today by a series of fierce riots against the Volkstonian State. The recent law passed in the communist-dominated Volkstag, had banned Markianist churches and religious institutions that the local Markian ethnic population followed. This had angered the entire Markian population.
Cease the unrest immediately! a loud, booming voice from a loudspeaker mounted on top of a Volkstonian armoured Polizei car surrounded by Volkstonian National Guard troopers, clad in black and wielding assault rifles.
Return to your homes, now. All dissenters are to be arrested. All dissenters are-
The voice coming from the black Polizei car is interrupted abruptly by an explosion in a neighbouring convoy of Volkstonian vehicles. Flames burst out of the security vehicles as burnt corpses of Volkstonian policemen litter the streets.
Immediately, the rioting crowd disperse and run away in fear of what the government would do in retaliation. Rightly so.
Thats it! the Leutnant commanding the anti-riot forces says, these Markian scum have completely lost it! Fire at these freaks!
Immediately, a hail of machine gun and assault rifle fire rain into the crowd of fleeing protesters. The majority are struck by lead and fall.
Suddenly, return fire comes from within the buildings. Multiple servicemen from the Volkstonian ranks are struck and killed.
These ***holes are armed! We need tanks, immediately! Ring up the capital!
Meanwhile in Volksord
A messenger breaks into a conference room in the Ministry of War building, filled with top brass of the High Command.
Sir! the young messenger exclaims, Urgent news from Altsord!
The man delivers his news, and is subsequently dismissed. The entire room of Army-Generals are pissed.
Altsord, a day later
The early morning was filled with the occasional gunshots of firefights between the Volkstonian security forces and Markian separatist rebels. But it would soon replaced by one signalling the reckoning of the latter - the rumble of thousands of tanks and IFVs of the Southern Military District converging at once into the old city.
One of the tank commanders reading his orders from the Ministry of War, gulps at the last sentence, as dozens of jets fly over him toward the city.
All Markians are hereby identified as insurgents, and shall be permanently neutralized in accordance with Article 64(b).

The horde of interviewers all shout,trying to be picked.As Hadle scans the room,picking someone to ask their question,there is a gunshot.
A bundle of guards dive and run to the President as he drops to the floor.There are screams in the mob and they disperse.The president,however the president got up and looked around,still suffocated by security.The bullet went inches above his head.The broadcasts stop and people all over the country are in shock.

Address by the President of Volkstonia, Comrade Joachim Helgi
The usual afternoon programs of the whopping 7 Volkstonian television channels was interrupted by an orange background with the coat of arms of the United Socialist States, which faded away and was replaced by the Presidential Seal, with an instrumental of the State Anthem of Volkstonia playing in the background.
Finally, President Joachim Helgi appeared in front of the screen, standing behind a podium with a gigantic Volkstonian flag behind him.
Kamaraden! he announced, starting his signature greeting.
Brothers and sisters! Today, at 8:00 AM on the 25th of March 2027, the United Socialist States was unlawfully attacked by terrorists.
A police contingent doing a routine patrol was put under fire from armed militants, who had access to explosives and a large assortment of small arms. The act of terror, which took place in Altsord, in the state of Südnesteria, resulted in the deaths of multiple brave young servicemen, and hundreds of innocent civilians.
What followed was a string of violent terrorist acts all across Südnesteria including suicide bombings and hate crimes towards ordinary Volkstonians. Today, our great Union mourns the painful losses today.
In this painful moment, I would like to remind you of the great trials our nation has been put through. We have beaten and obliterated our enemies in the past, including the defeated terrorist state of the Markian Republic!
He pulls up a minifigure of Maxom Dobcek, a killed Markian leader, and proceeds to tear its head off and eat it, swallowing it. He then breaks the remaining body in half.
We are going to avenge the deaths of our brave citizens. Reliable intelligence from the good citizens of Altsord, and some other -ahem- State agencies, has found the Markian Freedom Army responsible for the attack.
The MFA are terroristic scum hell-bent on destroying Volkstonia, a parasitic renmant of the Markian fascist Republic. The only freedom they care about is freeing every innocent Volkstonian man and woman from being alive.
We are going to eradicate them all, immediately. The Ministry of War has mobilized the Armed Forces for an immediate retaliation. In the past 8 hours, we have already removed from existence 2000 terrorists and 80 fascist outposts. The pigdog-lizard-big-nosed-cockroaches are running like hell. We will show them no mercy, and we are going to hang them from wooden posts and feed them to Volkstonian Eagles.
We are better armed, better equipped and better numbered. We are superior in both morality and military strength. We will be victorious.
Death to fascism! Long live Volkstonia!

2026/27 FOOTBALL SEASON - A RECAP
The 2026-27 football season witnessed the reopening of two of Talonia's most prestigious club competitions: the TSA Champions League and the TSA Talo League. These tournaments, steeped in tradition and replete with drama, provided a compelling narrative that captured the imagination of football enthusiasts across the continent. As the dust settled on a season of unparalleled excitement and intrigue, two clubs eventually emerged triumphant, etching their names into the annals of footballing history. Let's start with the pinnacle of club competitions: the Champions League.
Abka Khanbalik, under the stewardship of veteran manager Anghels Potsekoglu, triumphed over Munkhada Dorgonsia in a compelling 1-1 all-Kirinian final that resulted in a penalty shootout which Abka Khanbalik won 3-1. Khuyag Purevsuren, Munkhada Dorgonsia's captain, scored an early header and put Munkhada ahead in the 15th minute, seemingly cementing their dominance over Abka Khanbalik after defeating them in the Kirinian title race. However, a late 96-minute header in stoppage from Extremian striker Kenshi Nakamura equalized for Abka Khanbalik and punished Munkhada for failing to convert their easy chances earlier in the game. After an intense but inconclusive battle in extra time, Munkhada absolutely bottled the penalty shootout while Abka scored 3 in a row, securing Abka Khanbalik's place amongst the pantheon of great Talonian football sides.
The road to the final was fraught with challenges, as Abka Khanbalik navigated a series of high-stakes encounters against formidable opponents. However, after a narrow 4-3 win over Divian side Konstantinopolissporê, Abka thrashed La Vladisin side LaEnergy Sports Team 2-13 on aggregate, and completely shut down Extremian side Hime-no-Guardians 1-9 over two matches, making their place in the final very much deserved.
Although they didn't win the competition, two teams that stood out were Fall Amarner and Bacarra West Point from New Hope Dormar and Askrieg respectively. Last season, Fall Amarner tumbled out of the group stage with 1 point and a -22 goal difference to their name, suffering a 5-0 loss against Neo-Sudal FC, a 6-0 loss against NBC FK, and a catastrophic 9-1 loss to fellow Dormarian side Solamar Thunderstorms HF. After a change in leadership, Fall Amarner finished first in group B this season ahead of finalists Munkhada Dorgonsia and (apart from a 7-0 loss to Munkhada) showed great consistency to finish above Munkhada Dorgonsia, who drew games that they very much should've won. They made an honorable run to the quarter-finals before being knocked out by Hime-no-Guardians. Bacarra West Point, on the other hand, has always been in the shadow of FC Internazionale Aurora, Askrieg's flagship club. However, in a group with both giants Red Bull Kharkhorum and Geissele, Bacarra finished second, condemning Geissele to the Talo League in a hard-fought campaign. Ironically, they defeated FC Internazionale Aurora 2-5 on aggregate in the quarter-finals immediately after Internazionale celebrated a 3-0 comeback against Red Bull Kharkhorum in the round of 16, silencing Inter fans and giving itself some much-needed recognition. They were eventually knocked out by Munkhada Dorgonsia in the semi-finals but had a respectable campaign.
The Talo League finals saw Solamar Thunderstorms HF, which had finished 3rd in a very difficult Group E with 2025/26 CL winners Moritsuki FC and Sporting Dorgonsia, defeat defending champions Bujan Sarhu in a thrilling 1-3 match. They had been sent to the losers bracket by the very same Bujan Sarhu in the winner's finals after an embarrassing 1-5 loss but rallied 5-0 against loser's bracket finalists Fertecko United to face Bujan Sarhu once more and win the tournament. Geissele, who were favorites to win the competition after dropping down from the Champions League group stage, lost against fellow Extremian side Dongbaek-no-Saku in the winner's round of 16 but regained some hope after edging Hope Fall City in a 2-0 win. However, Wgynaxan Scerse, a relatively unknown Voltoxian team, came out of nowhere to leapfrog Geissele in the 89th minute for a 2-1 win, leaving Geissele fans in disappointment once more after another embarrassing international campaign.
As we reflect on these memorable campaigns, we are reminded of the sport's capacity to inspire and captivate, transcending geographical and cultural boundaries to unite fans in a shared celebration of excellence and drama. The 2026/27 seasons will forever be remembered as a defining chapter in the rich tapestry of Talonian club football, a testament to the enduring legacy of the beautiful game.

Solomar Thunderstorm Football Club Secures 2026/2027 Talonia League Championship, Sparking Nationwide Celebration
Hope Fall news, New Hope Dormar In a triumphant turn of events, the Solomar Thunderstorm Football Club emerged victorious in the highly anticipated 2026/2027 Talonia League, sending shockwaves of joy throughout the nation of New Hope Dormar. As the final whistle blew, declaring Solomar Thunderstorm the champions, celebrations erupted across the country, with the capital city, Hope Fall, leading the festivities.
Amidst a sea of ecstatic fans, Hope Fall witnessed an unprecedented surge of jubilation as residents took to the streets to revel in the historic triumph of the football club. However, the most fervent celebration unfolded in Solomar Harbour, where pubs overflowed, and the streets turned into a lively carnival of cheering supporters.
The atmosphere in Solomar Harbour was nothing short of electric, with fans from all walks of life joining in the festivities. The air echoed with cheers, fireworks lit up the sky, and the city was bathed in the team's colors, creating a spectacular display of solidarity and joy.
In a surprising turn of events, the celebrations were accentuated by the recent revelation of corruption within the old management of Fall Amarner. The former manager of Fall Amarner, now identified as a key figure in a web of illicit activities, was sentenced to life in prison. The charges included corruption, tax evasion, resisting arrest, attempting to flee the country, and engaging in an armed shootout with the police.
This shocking revelation added an unexpected layer to the celebrations, as Solomar Thunderstorm's triumph not only symbolized their sporting prowess but also marked the end of an era tainted by corruption and illegal activities within the league for now.
As fans continued to flood the streets of Solomar Harbour, the sense of unity and pride among the city's residents was palpable. The victory of Solomar Thunderstorm not only secured their place in football history but also served as a beacon of hope for New Hope Dormar, signaling a new era of transparency and fair play in sports. The celebration is expected to continue throughout the week, with various events planned to honor the team's remarkable achievement and the positive shift in the sporting landscape.

Civil war in Chyrak
Right after the election results, citizens from South Ajlar have been rioting and equipping themselves with all kinds of firearms. They started by overthrowing the mayor of South Ajlar and killed him. They stated that they don't want an oppressing democracy anymore, so they want to reastablish the monarchy. The leader of this rebellion, Noam Philippe, then declared a civil war with the goal to eliminate Xavier de Panthero and make himself monarch of Chyrak. The military will eliminate every supporter of the rebellion and adivise citizens to lock themselves in their houses.

The Climate of Talonia is Unbreakable, luckily the countries are united, Volkstonia is at war against the terrorists, the Republic of Turmis also against the criminal organization Disfi and its other allies, it is time for you to know the dark secret that is hidden behind Everything, we have to go back years to the Trasgar war, Turmis won it with difficulty, but we also annexed the town of Trasgar because it was a conflictive town, we changed their way of being for the better, we accepted them as part of our nation. But there were some people who were not happy with this then, so they created the Trasgardian liberation group also known as Disfi, you will think that they did it because they wanted their independence, but it was different, they deviated from their purpose, they killed innocent people, they spread drugs , they carried out massacres. They wanted a territory to then cause chaos, because of them certain misfortunes happened in Turmis, such as the decline of the First Empire of Turmis. Artos decided to put an end to this, we thought we had killed them all, in the great massacre of Qutul, it was not like that a few months ago we saw that they survived all these years, we realized that because of them there were a few terrorist groups in Turmis and some What was causing chaos to another country.
The terrorist acts began and we began to confront it, luckily if it were not for the defense that Turmis has in case of war we would have had it more difficult, even so it is difficult for us to fight against them, trying to take over their drug plants, weapons zones. ..
I only ask that you do not let the terrorists run wild.

PIRATES OF THE 21ST CENTURY?
A day on Queen Veras Revenge
Location: bottom deck, on the ship Queen Veras Revenge
Local time: 9:46 PM
General area: off the southwest coast of Torturia 25 miles
A man, with dark brown hair, a messy beard and a scar over his left eye, is currently checking the radar for any incoming vessels. His name is Ludavik Daömis. Approximately 30 years old. He is the captain of a stolen rescue ship. It has been retired for 12 years but repurposed as a pirate ship just 4 months ago.
The ships name? Queen Veras Revenge. Known for their communist nature, it belonged to the broader category of East Wing ships. As East Torturia is far more communist than the west. East and West Wing ships often waged battles in the cold harsh ocean west of Torturia. However, their main target is supply ships going into Torturia. These modern day pirates would hijack these supply ships, tie up all the sailors, and hold ransoms. They would then carry all the supplies onto their own ship, and if the ransoms are not met in a set amount of time, these pirates would simply leave the poor supply ship out to sea with the crew still tied, or simply just kill them.
Local time: 9:51 PM
*a young man, approximately 25, goes to the captain.
-SIR! REPORTING FOR DUTY!
-hello Jonas.
-ANY HELP NEEDED ON THE DECK SIR? FOOD IS SECURE AND NO GOVERNMENT VESSELS ARE HEADING OUR WAY!
-Im good Jonas. Say.. why dont you and I have a little chat. Theres still time before the clock hits midnight and all crew is mandatory to go to their sleeping quarters.
-ahh yes of course captain. What do you need aid with?
-nothing really just been thinking of old times when we didnt have to be pirates. But now, its every man for themselves. We have to rob to stay alive. The government is crumbling. And people are starving in the mainland. Even communism hasnt been as strong as before with these pinheads of the west waging battles against their own people.
-yes I agree with you sir things havent been easy. You know what my sister has been doing back on the mainland?
-what?
-A PROSTITUTE! She just turned 18 for gods sake! Things have been out of hand! If she doesnt do this dirty work, she cant even afford bread!
-how terrible at least you have family. My parents die before I turned 12 and my brother was killed by nomads in the far south.
*another person enters the room. This time a woman, 30 years of age. She is breathless and has sweat dripping down her face*
-SIR! THERE IS A PIRATE SHIP HEADING OUR WAY! JUDGING BY THEIR FLAG, THEYRE FROM THE WEST WING!
-WHAT? CALL ALL DECK AWAKE! ALL HANDS ON DECK AND GET THE GUNS AND TORPEDOES READY!
-YES SIR!
*a pirate ship could be seen heading their way, the ripped flag on the ship has a blue background, with the words long live the west etched onto it.
The sound of a torpedo being fired could be heard. A torpedo fired by Queen Veras Revenge hits the bottom deck of the vessel. The ship tips sideways. Strangely, no firing or screams of any kind could be heard. The ship is entirely silent *
-ITS A ZOMBIE SHIP SIR! ITS STILL DRIFTING THROUGH THE WIND BUT THE CREW HAS ALREADY BEEN KILLED! THERES NO ONE ABOARD!
-A zombie ship? Oh how unlucky of us we just wasted a torpedo and 10 minutes of valuable sleep for everyone
-SIR! WE COULD STILL TAKE THE LOOT ON THE SHIP!
-Yes Jonas! Great thinking! CLOSE IN ON THE ZOMBIE SHIP! ALL DECK ABOARD THE VESSEL AND TAKE EVERYTHING WORTH MONEY ON IT!
-YES SIR!
*the crew of Queen Veras Revenge closes in on the ship. They dock and rapidly run onto the deck. Bread, wine, even merely water jugs, the crew is like a pack of wild dogs taking everything and running back to their ship. But suddenly a figure appears from the dark decks *
-SIR! WE FOUND A SURVIVOR! SHE MIGHT BE AN AGENT FROM THE MAINLAND!
*a crew mate was lifting the collar of a young woman. Approximately 19. She has emerald green eyes, silky blonde hair, and snow white skin. The girl is extremely scared but her voice is clear and bold.*
-LET GO OF ME YOU UHH.. PIG! *the girl says in a heavy Russian accent. (Common on the west islands of Nïkvadök in Torturia)
-that accent Nïkvadök islands SHES ONE OF THEM! KILL HER!
-NO PLEASE MAN! I have family! I wont hurt you! I uhh.. I give the really good experience in the bed!
-Well shes an interesting agent from the mainland DONT KILL HER! I need to ask this little mouse some questions
-yes thank you! Me very helpful on the ship!
-answer my questions. ARE YOU A SPY?
-no sir.
-I CANT HEAR YOU. SPEAK LOUDER MOUSE!
-NO I AM NOT A SPY SIR!
-Good. Are you from the Nïkvadök islands?
-yes. I was born there and uhh.. moved to Dolina Karoley when I was 14. DONT WORRY! ME COMMUNIST! NO CAPITALIST! LONG LIVE HAMMER AND SICKLE!
-Well youre certainly very interesting for a spy your lies are pretty well planned out
-Im not lying sir.
-I CANT HEAR YOU.
-ME NOT LIAR SIR! I SPEAK THE TRUTH! I AM A PROSTITUTE. I WAS KIDNAPPED ONTO THAT WEST WING SHIP! PLEASE MAN BELIEVE ME!
-Is that so? Prostitute.. kidnapped.. Whats your name little mouse?
-Anna Tinodvik.
-Well Anna, youre certainly not going to be a filthy prostitute on my ship. You can be.. a cleaner. Youll start tomorrow morning by scrubbing the kitchen and cleaning the dish wear of my crew.
-NO SIR! IM GOOD AT CARTOGRAPHY! I DONT WANT TO BE CLEANER! I CAN HELP YOU DRAW MAPS! ANY MAP!
-Are you asking for me to change your job now? YOURE A CLEANER.
-NO SIR!
*the captain pulls out his bayonet. He pins the girl against the deck and puts the bayonet one inch away from her neck*
-If you dont do as I say, Ill cut your throat off little mouse.
-NO SIR! I CAN BE THE CARTOGRAPHER OF YOUR SHIP! PLEASE! ILL OBEY YOUR EVERY COMMAND OF DRAWING ANY MAP!
*the captain inches the bayonet one centimetre closer until the cold metal is touching the girls neck but still, the girl doesnt flinch and looks the captain straight in his eyes.*
-Well youre pretty brave huh.. its decided then. You will be the cartographer on my ship AND my secretary. NOW HURRY OFF! Youre sharing a sleeping quarter with Lucy. Lets see if youre worthy of working on MY ship.. Anna..
*the other crewmates are baffled at the captains decision.*
-Sir! Shes from the west! What if shes a spy?
-No asking questions Jonas. Unless you want your throat cut off next.
Republic Of Turmis
The Markian Insurgency - the initial weeks
Information regarding the real situation on the frontlines of the fighting was censored from the Volkstonian public, kept under strict control from the Ministry of Information, which spouts out propaganda about huge victories over terrorist forces. However, a lot of the information presented to the Volkstonian public does not accurately portray the real situation.
The first days of the Markian Insurgency had taken the Volkstonian High Command by utter surprise. Bombings of military barracks and police stations, and the subsequent raids by Markian guerillas resulted in the deaths of over 8,000 servicemen. A humiliating failure on the part of the Vogestanst (the Volkstonian intelligence agency).
The Ministry of War initially reluctantly ordered a retreat from multiple cities and towns in Südnesteria and Schauchen due to being hugely outnumbered by Markian Freedom Army (MFA) units. Large parts of the local Markian ethnic population, whose national identities had been historically suppressed and erased by the government in Volksord, took to the streets to celebrate the victories of the MFA. Ethnic Volkstonians were publicly shamed and sometimes executed.
The first counter-response came 2 hours after the full withdrawal of elements of the Southern Military District (SMD) from major settlements controlled by the MFA. 56 close-air-support (CAS) aircraft commenced heavy bombings of cities in the south, with Altsord and Wecklen hit the hardest. The strikes initially proved effective as the MFA lacked anti-air weapons and liked to parade themselves in the wide streets of captured cities, making them easy pickings for the Volksflugwahr (Air Force).
The heavy bombing campaign continued as Herschel Hr-18 strategic bomber aircraft launched from airfields around Ft. Schildkrote. Armed with Pozal-101 cruise missiles, they launched strikes on weapon depots captured by the MFA. The same aircraft along with other CAS platforms were also used to drop 5,000 tons of unguided bombs on dense population centres with a majority Markian population over the course of 7 days.
On the ground, the Volksarmia 44th Combined Arms Army, the 2nd Tank Army and the 26th Army of the Southern Military District were mobilized and ordered to advance into the regions occupied by the MFA. At the same time, the military began pulling out vast stocks of equipment dating back from the 1970s and immediately began mobilizing parts of the Volksreserv following President Helgis invokement of Article 58.
Extremely intense urban fighting occurred as the Volkstonian army forced the MFA back into the cities, where tight spaces and the nature of urban warfare prove to be a challenge for the Volksarmia. Asymmetrical warfare has bogged down the superior Volkstonian army in some areas.
Despite this, in 2 weeks, the Volkstonian military has sent roughly 340,000 soldiers, out of the total 2,400,000 enlisted, to the frontlines. Although still slightly outnumbered by the estimated 400,000 MFA fighters, the Volksarmia is supported by 8,000 tanks (6,000 of which have been pulled out from 1970s-80s era stocks) and more than 90 aircraft of varying types. Looking at the numbers, there is every indication Volksord will be triumphant.
However, the MFA have put up a better fight that Volkstonian commanders have expected, and continue to use guerilla warfare wherever they can, inflicting large losses on Volkstonian units. This will be the hardest fight for the Volksarmia in decades.

Missile attack in Delis
Today, a missile has hit a house in Delis. Nobody has died but it is still investigated who the missile belongs to.
Eastern Order
From the beginning of the fight against Disfi, our president has encouraged and encouraged us to defend our ideals of peace, justice, and freedom. But just a few days ago he died from an explosion. He knew the risks of going to the television network, but it was because he didn't want us to continue being afraid. He died from a bomb at 7:00 p.m. I, Commander Ertel, will continue fighting against Disfi like the entire army, we will fight for what the President defended, they have not weakened us, they have made us stronger, we will fight until the end.

SHADOW BRIGADE TROOPS KEEP TERRORISM AT BAY
After the generous offer of the Shadow Brigade given by Republic Of Turmis, terrorism has been kept at bay. Although a new issue has come Pirates. Or, ocean dwelling maggots as Supreme Leader calls them.
Back to the subject however, the Shadow Brigade is a special type of highly trained military personnel in the Turmis army. These personnel are specially trained to deal with a nations internal issues regarding crime. The JARAT organization is one of the deadliest terrorist organizations out there. And the Shadow Brigade has kept many away from innocent civilians and even caught a few members of the terrorist group. These were the 6 relevant JARAT members who have been caught and arrested in the past 3 months.
Juino Alehandro: 6 confirmed murders, 4 shootings, 18 robberies
Kvistov Muïkdachk: 2 confirmed murders, 12 assaults, 27 robberies
Vladimir Hugüo: 1 confirmed murder, 5 assaults, 7 shootings, 13 robberies, 22 human trafficked
Kaktov Yaomüdas: 3 confirmed murders, 1 assault, 2 robberies, 56 human trafficked, 8 shootings
Jack Humminhamf: 21 confirmed murders, 8 assaults
Tiko Kishnav: 56 robberies, 2 shootings, 42 humans trafficked
Thanks to the Shadow Brigades work, these criminals are now behind bars serving life sentences or even the electric chair.

NEW WEAPON PROTOTYPE BEGINS TESTING
With Genosan officials worried Genosa may be behind in technological advancements in South Eurasia, top military officials have been working on a secret project, with only the ones with highest positions even knowing it existed, the AB-1.
Supposedly a missile, that flings out miniature bombs upon impact. The field testing will begin in the northern outskirts of Itopia.
Military advisors have projected the AB-1 to help advance Genosa in military strength.

Kirovian Global Station: Channel-1
"Good morning Kirovia, the time is exactly 13:33, and I'm your host for today - Dmitriy V-..." - The host of the most popular News Channel stopped mid-sentence, his face suddenly pale and shocked. Behind-the-scenes, some ruckus could be heard. Men yelling in Kirovian, whilst others groan. However, no gunshots.
Suddenly, a figure appears at the corner of the camera, facing the back to it with hands in the coat's pockets.
"Dmitriy. I suppose you know who I am." - Says the figure with a womanly voice, the News Channel host staying silent, staring at the person. - "You, and your coworkers, are now relieved of your duties. Now go with the rest." - The figure says to the host, as he slowly gets up, looking around. The host was clearly panicked.
As the Channel Host goes out of the camera view, the figure approaches to the Host's place and sits on the table in front of the camera, showing the front. It was a woman with white, fluffy hair. By the looks - she is no younger than 30. She had a fairly long, unbuttoned black coat, with ribbons patched onto it at one side. Under the coat was a plain red office shirt with a black tie to complement the look. Atop the coat was a light rig, seemingly loose and not attached at the front with small pouches and visible pistol(?) magazines. The most curious part that caught everyone's eye, however, is the red armband atop her coat arm with the Kirovian Intelligence Service ensignia - the twin-headed eagle.
As the unnamed woman got comfortable at the table, she pulled out her hands out of the pockets - wearing fingerless gloves - and connected them together. She looked to her right, nodding to something or someone, and turned back her gaze directly at the camera facing her. With a tired, emotionless look, she started talking;
"Good day Kirovia, it's citizens, the army, and whoever else is watching this. As you may have noticed by my armband, I am from the Kirovian Intelligence Service; KIS for short. My name is Griva 'Mae, Chief-in-Command of KIS; and I am here to tell you of the Tsardom. It does not exist anymore. The Tsardom that many people once knew has succumbed to worldwide idiocracy, hypocrisy, and greed. No longer are we the so-thought 'Sovereign' people that value respect of one-self and allies above everything else. No; instead we measure respect with money, cars, guns'n'weapons. Kirovia became.. diseased, rotten to it's core. Which is why.. I have decided to take measures into my own hands. Perhaps.. we will wipe the slate clean; 'burn all the wrong roots', so to speak.. I am not calling for a revolution, I am not calling for unrest. This is, instead, a Coup d'etat; peaceful one that at. We already have taken the Monarch hostage, and it's just a matter of time until the army becomes violent in an attempt to free their so-called 'Heir to the throne'. That is their choice, if civilian casualties occur, blame it on them. KIS is highly trained in all sorts of wars, be it urban warfare or an arid battlefield. We will show no mercy to ones that dare oppose us. Abandon your post and lay down your weapons instead, we will harm no one; 's long as they don't harm us first." - Chief of KIS finishes the explanation of what is truly going on, and takes a small moment of silence.
"I hereby claim that Kirovian Tsardom be nonexistent, and Kirovian Federation be taken it's place; for I am an heir to the throne of the Federation, not Tsardom." - The woman spoke rather religiously.
"Once again, this is a peaceful Coup d'etat. Lay down your weapons and abandon your post. We mean no harm, we only want better for everyone. However, we are not afraid of a prolonged engagement either, if it happens to occur anyway... That is all, cut the broadcast." - The woman says, getting up off the table.

Alstov-on-Dons Energy Grid Halted
A three hour blackout shut down the major cities of Bianco, Lev Peller, Polaris, Pombus, and West Overhill. All of the cities affected are located in southern Alstov-on-Don. The Republic of Afonien which AOD inherited due to the outcome of the Declaration of Evereston and the Republic of Korotost were the only two Republics experiencing the blackout.
Today the nations first major black out wreaked havoc across the southern part of the nation. Classes were cancelled due to no electricity on school campuses. Flights were cancelled as computers in the airports went offline as well as major security equipment not working properly. Traffic jams also snarled cities as traffic lights no longer worked during the nations morning commute.
Central and northern Alstov-on-Don were not affected. The capital city of Faubus has its own powergrid that isnt connected to the national grid due to unexplained events such as this one.
The AOD Department of Energy is currently investigating this issue. Conspiracy theories circulating on social media have already pointed to a cyber attack on the nations energy grid by a nation in Talonia. No probable cause has been immediately identified by the government at the moment. The investigation is still ongoing.
Republic Of Turmis
The Republic of Turmis comes to help
It will provide 150 generators for hospitals, shelters and essential services. 4,444 energy distribution points for affected communities.
Transportation of essential medical supplies, including specialized generators for refrigerating medications.
Distribution of 200 portable solar lighting kits to homes and communities that do not have generators.
Deployment of mobile water filtration system.
300 hygiene kits distributed.
Non-perishable food and emergency rations 3,400 units.
Establishment of community kitchens and food distribution points.
Transport equipment, such as mobile surgical lights and energy storage systems for hospitals 2,000 units.
SHÜCHÏN CITY: THE MOST LAWLESS CITY IN TALONIA
Area: downtown Losos, government office
A officer walks into the leaders office. Hes holding a stack of papers and documents with a stern look on his face. He walks up to the leader, and spreads the documents all over his desk. The titles of these documents can be seen. More than 15,000 criminals and addicts gather here, the densest city in Talonia, city so beyond rescue that even the rats are addicted to marijuana? were all titles of these news posts, documents and files.
-SIR! We have to do something about Shüchïn city. Its damaging our image in Talonia. You certainly dont want Torturia to be known for child prostitution right?
-WHAT? TAKE ME TO SHÜCHÏN CITY IMMEDIATELY. And bring all my bodyguards. I heard JARAT member leaders like to gather there.
*3 days ago*
A drunken man walks in the crowded alleyways of Shüchïn city. The city is built on top of one another. Like a maze. Or a parasite. New buildings are cut into the old ones. And alleyways quickly get filled up with more buildings. Each building has multiple different exits leading to all parts of the city. You could be in a restaurant, leave, and the next day, cant find it ever again. This is Shüchïn city. Nicknamed the giant maze or the city of darkness because of the dark alleyways.
The man walks into a pub. As usual, the whole place is filled with lust. His friend sits beside him. It looks as if he hasnt slept in ages. His eyebags can be seen even in the dimly lit pub and the dark rings around his eyes make him look like a raccoon.
-hey man. Working late tonight at the mine again?
-yea.. gotta support my kid you know? Youre lucky. Your dads clinic is 2 stories up here I think so yea youre covered for your whole life pretty much. Heheh
-thanks. But you know, its hard finding a wife in.. this place..
-we cant escape. Its the nature of Shüchïn. Always been this way and always will be.
-isnt the government gonna tear this place down soon?
-they tried. But failed many times before. These buildings, they seem new. But the more stories you go down, the older they get. Its like a Time Machine. And no one ever gets out of Shüchïn city its impossible to navigate and a drunken madman is probably gonna kill you when you reach the city border. Heheh
-I hope they tear down this hellhole any second now. Life is full of lust, labour and pain here.
-Shüchïn city was first built in 1934 as a brothel for the emperor. Soon, mines were set up nearby to extract coal for the hot tubs and love hotels. Our location is also one of the reasons we cant escape. Shüchïn is situated right at the border of Yablochko, it was used for a few months as a soldier base. Remember those times?
-yes. It was terrible.
-indeed After the war a few months ago, the soldiers left and business in the hot tubs and strip clubs have been booming. Us coal miners, our shifts also became longer.
*a guy was slammed against the wall as they speak. His nose is bleeding.*
-goddamn it couldnt they fight somewhere else?
*a waitress dressed in quite revealing clothing walks towards them. Most likely asking for their order.*
-hello gentlemen. What would you like today?
-Ill have uhh.. a whiskey and my friend here, a bottle of rum. Make the alcohol percent the highest you can go please.
-of course. Anything else? Maybe.. some.. substances?
-like what huh?
-Heroin, marijuana, weed.. cocaine?
-oh no than-
*before the man could finish, the door gets bursted open.*
-EVERYONE GET DOWN ON THE FLOOR NOW! OBEY MY INSTRUCTIONS OR FACE DEATH!
*everyone starts screaming in panic and runs all over the pub.*
-I REPRESENT THE ROYAL POLICE FORCE IN DEALING WITH TORTURIAS INTERNAL ISSUES. SUCH AS THIS DUMP OF A CITY. EVERYONE GET DOWN ON THE GROUND NOW!
*the man fires repeatedly into the ceiling with his Glock 19. The noises are unbearably loud and echoes through the hallways and alleyways. Other gunshots can be heard all around the city. Although the city is more like one giant megastructure as the buildings are packed so tightly together. The police force has surrounded the city.*
-cmon we have to run now!
-are you mad? They have f$cking guns you idiot!
-follow me. I know the way out. They cant possibly map the entire city. Its too complex. Theyll send us to a concentration camp you nimrod! We have to run. Now!
*the two men run past the doors and into the vast alleyways of the city.*
-GET BACK HERE! DONT RUN FROM THE ROYAL POLICE FORCE. WE WILL CATCH YOU.
*the two men hurry past the dimly lit corridors and into a small convenience store. They then hurry past the store and into another alleyway.*
*3 days later*
*BREAKING NEWS*
-Hello Torturia! The TON makes its 5th news broadcast after the war! This week, we look at the demolition of Shüchïn city. AKA, the densest city in Talonia. This city is more like a tightly packed mismatch of buildings and shops. The demolition was taken place this Monday and according to the royal police force, no one was harmed.
-EXCEPT THATS A LIE!
-thats right. After the demolition, the ruins were taken away for further building projects. And there were over 150 corpses in the ruins. And over 100 of them were unidentified! I think its safe to say that, this demolition might have cleared out crime, but it also took out a piece of Torturian history

LEAKED DOCUMENTS
leaked documents from a research facility in Ishiski, in Volgozov by the TOYALSKI GRAND RESEARCH CENTER
OPERATION KOMNI AYA
As of writing, the tests have been going well. As of previous documents, you will know that the liquid we have made is doing quite well with tests subjects. Our problem with lethality has been fixed, using our previous recipe, we added Nitroglycerin and large amounts of sulfur, seeing if we can put sulfur into a targets bloodflow. Last week, we tested it on a homeless man, a middle class man, and an aristocrat politician in the Ishiski Communist Party, testing the affects of the liquid on people of different ways of life. It has been found that the liquid affects people who have had less interaction with any thing dirty, such as the aristocrat, who died a day after having the liquid injected into him after he was pricked by a infected needle by his doctor, paid to do so by the government. The middle class man was sick for a few days before dying, being monitored by government doctors. The homeless man survived and only had minimal effects, watched from above on top of a building. This could be a breakthrough, and we feel this will help the government silence opponents and those who simply just dont agree. Although, it seems we will not have to use it much due to most of the population being in the anarchist commonwealth group. So far, the project is looking very good and may even be finished by this month if everything goes well, and the WA does not find out. To put our progress in numbers, last month we were 25% done with the project. As of writing, it is at 75%. When this liquid is done with testing and released to all government agencies, there will be no such thing as an opposition.

Somewhere in Holsh, Gvard. Headquarters...
Commander of the army herself, Genna, is sitting alone at the round table. Her look is unconfident, as she rubs her eyes. Suddenly, the twin-doors open, as her second-in-command rushes in;
"General! We've mobilized the forces at Sieur and Holsh; Nikolaev isn't responding! We're ready to attack!" - Says the man with distinct, loud voice. However, Genna looks at him with cold, tired gaze.
"Nikolaev..? Figured. God knows how long they've been preparing for this.." - Says the Commander, grunting - "So much at stake here.. S[-]it.."
"Commander! Give order to attack! We have the numerical and technological superiority! We can crush them!" - Yells out enthusiastically her Second-in-Command.
Genna looks at the man, silent for a couple of seconds; her gaze moving from one side to another, full of uncertainty.. On one hand, her thoughts were full of nationalism, patriotism and the will to fight. On another - the facts of civilian deaths, useless slaughter amidst civil war and post-war reconstruction & rebuilding; if she gives the order.. At long last, she sighs, looking at her Second-in-Command. Her face was pale, she looked tired and rather depressed..
"Give order to attack exactly at 00:00. Follow battleplan 'Foxhole'. May God forgive us for what we're about to bring.." - Says the Commander with rather depressing tone.
The man nods silently, saluting and rushing on his leave.
Genna rubs her eyes once again, tearing up; "Sorry Niko, I had no chances.." - She says, sobbing.

ALL CANDIDATES FOR FAGTERMILIAN ELECTION CONFIRMED AND VOTING OPENS
As you know, current president Frederick Hadle has decided to run in the election,but 2 other candidates have been confirmed to run:Daniel Werthyum and Gemma Poitjer.
Werthyum made his speech first:
Im not going to beat around the bush,Hadle is not dealing with the Squirlis problem good enough.He has been saying hes working on it for too long now,which makes me think he is either too lazy to deal with it or doesnt know how to.I can guarantee you that this will be immediately dealt with if I am elected,as well as with any other problems that may happen in the future.I will also make sure all citizens stay safe,that will be my main priority.I will now take questions from the press
one reporter said how can you guarantee you will fix the drug cartel problem?
I will do that by not letting them rest,Ill get the best detectives,special forces and we will not procrastinate
the next question was:
you,Poitjer and Hadle were seen talking earlier,what was this about?
Werthyum hesitated before answering we were simply wishing eachother good luck and having a nice chat,whats so wrong about that! No more questions..
Soon Poitjer had made her speech:
Some of you may find my view on how to make the country a better place,but some of you will see it as the most efficient way.Its not too much of a secret that we are not the most technological country,and I think that making things high-tech can never hurt.This can also help with the Squirlis situation by giving the police much better equipment than we have now.Yes,it will cost some money,but overall it will definetly be worth it,I will now take questions from the press
the first question was similar to one that was asked to Werthyum:
were you really just having a chat with the other candidates earlier?
Yes,of course!Why would he lie? She replied,sounding completely calm
the next question was a follow up to the last:
after your chat,Hadle walked away and you and Werthyum continued talking,what was this about? Were you talking about Hadle?
we are not children,we were not gossiping or anything! are there any questions not related to this?
There was an awkward silence and some mumbles in the crowd of paparazzi.
Then there will be no more questions she said firmly and walked away
With all candidates confirmed,voting has opened and will end in 1 week and the results will be anounced on 26th April.
Radio and video interference happens all over Kirovian Tsardom, as a quick, brief connection was finally settled, with the screens turning up showing the Extremian coat of arms.
In Kirovian, Extremian and Eigo, the text under the coat of arms said...
"MESSAGE FROM THE MMADL OF EXTREMIUM WILL START SHORTLY"
And a bit after that, the video switched to a slideshow of sorts, with the title being "EVACUATION ORDER FROM THE EXTREMIAN GOVERNMENT in relation to the recent events breaking."
Siren blared, as a voice asked everyone to pay attention in 3 languages.
"Due to the recent circumstances in Kirov, there has been an official ORDER TO EVACUATE for all nationals or dual citizens. Proceed either by the last few passenger planes taking off from all airports across Kirov, or use train or car to travel to the border with Extremium."
The screen showed cities blinking and crossing checkpoints on the border with Extremium, as the radios called out what cities have roads directly connecting to the border.
"If you are closer to any neighboring countries that border Kirov, for example, Azro or Evereston, consider taking the routes to there, and then taking planes to Extremium."
Then it showed cities and border checkpoints over the borders with Azro and Evereston, at least the known ones.
"TO NON KIROVIAN OR EXTREMIAN NATIONALS: You will be safeguarded and protected as a tourist if you reach a checkpoint or get into Extremium by any means from now on, and get an EVACUEE PASS once you reach our lands. Using your Evacuee Pass, you can find and rent out a hotel that takes these passes in order to get a room free of charge for 3 days. After that, every day you stay will have you pay for your stay."
"TO KIROVIAN NATIONALS: You can escape the same way and request asylum or a complete migration. Finding Asylum is simpler and better, however migrating will be harder down the line as you will later be requested to take Extremian/Abyssaline language courses, with the possiblity of passing a national test, in order to become a verified, bonafide Extremian citizen. The process is, however, unecessary. If you are merely looking to wait over the war in safety, almost all Extremian citizens are fluent in Eigo.
If you bring any weapons for self defense, they will be briefly confiscated due to the change in firearm laws in Extremium. Albeit they're much loose in Extremium, to own a firearm is its' own ordeal. As a result, you will have to either find a shooting range that could safeguard your weapon during your stay, or you have to take an official, Extremium series of exams in order to get a firearm license, that is if you are migrating. After that, you can use the ID document provided at the border checkpoint and then go to the nearest police station, requesting that you get your firearms back.
There is a list of items that are prohibited, however."
It showed every item and example as the items appeared.
"Acids, chemicals, drugs (Unless it's approved by the ENMO (Extremian National Medical Office)), pyrotechnic equipment, explosives, military hardware, heavy cold weaponry (smaller cold weapons, if declared during the customs part of check up, will be temporarily confiscated and given back immediately after crossing)."
Then it showed an image of the KIS logo...
"Any attempts at espionage will end in arrest and subsequent sending into Extremium. There will be no second opinion or second chance. However - if you wish to surrender in order to assist Extremium with information or wish to migrate, you can always get to the border patrol officers and then request asylum. You will be placed under complacent arrest and sent to the appropriate authorities."
It showed the military logo of Kirovia.
"TO ALL MILITARY PERSONELL: You can also escape, but must come in with your firearm unloaded and it on your back, and with your hands up. Your weapon will be confiscated but you will be allowed to go through Second Tier Checkpoint, where your military equipment will be seized and you'll be put into questioning, before being sent back to First Tier Checkpoint. You can get a temporary asylum document in the Second Tier Checkpoint."
It showed the logo of the Kirovian airforce.
"TO ALL MILITARY PILOTS: YOU WILL BE SHOT DOWN OVER EXTREMIAN AIRSPACE, UNLESS YOU ARE GOING TO DECLARE IN PUBLIC RADIO ONCE YOU CROSS THAT YOU ARE THERE TO ESCAPE. If you wish to escape, you will get escorts but will ask to disable your cannon and any armaments in order to make it as safe as possible. Jettisoning weaponry, launching weaponry will result in subsequent shoot down."
"We are not your enemies. We want to help. We understand how hard it must be going through a turbulent time like this and all wholly wish it will end soon. Please do not make it bad for us as a result.
Glory to Extremian Democracy!"
And end. Everything over just like that, all stations in Kirovia suddenly felt their programming get under their control again...
Kirovian Tsardom
Holsh, Gvard. Headquarters..
Genna was sitting at the roundtable, alone yet again. Her Second-in-Command rushed in;
"General! The Stations got hijacked! News Channels and Radio Stations were saying something about civilian evacuations and- for our soldiers to go to Extremian border to surrender or something.." - the man spoke loudly, realising how confused he was mid-sentence.
The Commander looks at him and simply nods - "I heard. I believe it's a false-flag operation from KIS, they are known to do that sometimes. I do realise that this can plant a seed of distrust and demoralization in our ranks; however, our soldiers are loyal to the bitter core of their own existence. Even if this was truly done by Extremians, I doubt many are willing to give up their arms and retreat off into the 'rainbow land', so to speak. But then, yet again.. If some people want to go - let them. I won't blame them, we'll still have more than enough to fight.. Oh! And for pilots - tell them to keep the aircraft intact. We'll need it." - says the General; delusional of a 'false-flag operation' and bluntly insulting Extremium.
Her Second-in-Command salutes, - "Understood! We're ready for attack! Everything will go as planned - 00:00!" - exclaims the man, somewhat proud to have a loyal Commander.
"Then go, proceed with 'Foxhole', no matter the cost - we need to win." - Genna says calmly, her gaze averted by geographical and geopolitical maps of Kirovia; the man salutes once again, and rushes to his leave.
KIS' side, Glavdomska Parliament.
Griva was examining various maps of old tunnel networks and pipelines underneath all of Kirovia; considerable effort went into preserving them. Time later, one of the officers walks in;
"Ma'am, may I interrupt? I have news." - says the Lieutenant, doing a light salute. Griva simply nods in silence, her tired & depressed gaze fixated upon the officer.
"I assume you've already heard about the supposedly-Extremian hijack of all Kirovian News Channels and Radio Stations. We are to believe this was done by the Loyalists; a sort-of operation to demoralize our troops." - continues the man, promptly stopping his report.
"Like hell they would. They are too dumb to even decode Morse or Roman Numerical, let alone hijack all stations. These were Extries, no doubt. Obviously they're gonna consider us as the 'big evil men', like hell we wanted to do anything on their land. And they hope for us to lay down weapons. Idiots. We have international mercenaries on our side. They're loyal to the first bidder, uncaring of whatever they do. Everyone from KIS is loyal too, since we actually have respect for each other - but not our enemy." - calmly-yet-aggressively answers Griva, insulting Extremians in specific for their mindset and paranoia.
"Understood. What's the plan? Should we do anything then?" - asks the Lieutenant.
"No changes. Keep the initial plan going. If anyone actually attempts deserting - shoot them on the spot. It's a cruel method, but we do not want Extremians nor the Army knowing what we've been doing behind the scenes; or in general." - says the Chief-in-Command of KIS.
The officer nods, doing a lightly salute and promptly leaves. Griva fixates her gaze on the maps yet again, thinking of backup plans.

THE HARDEST EXAM IN TALONIA
Torturian Education System
The Torturian Education System(TES) has often been known as the most difficult education system in Talonia. Students are pushed to their maximum at a very young age. Students are often exhausted and has constant emotional outbursts due to the shear sternness of the Torturian classrooms, teaching principals and the education system.
SCHOOL LIFE REGULATIONS
Students are sent to Jükdaich (kindergarten) when they are 4 years of age. At 7, they are placed in Hākro (elementary school) and when they turn 12, placed in Sākro (middle school) till 14, followed by Lïkadesch (high school) till 17. After 17, students are enrolled in a university depending on their grade and will stay for the maximum of 10 years. A school year in Torturia will last from August 15 to May 31 of the next year. June and July are the summer holidays. No other holidays are celebrated for longer than 1 week in a Torturian school year. All students are required to take Torturian Military Academic Training(TMAT) for one year. In Lïkadesch 2. Students ages of 15-16 are required to be in TMAT. This program is a 9 month camp where students have to live on a separate campus serialized for military training. After Lïkadesch 3, students could decide if they officially want to join the army so Lïkadesch 2 is a vital part in a students academic life.

BRIEF HISTORY
The TES was created by Sir Ludovick (Amlour Talini Ludovick) in 1912. This same education program is still in use today. Previously, the Torturian education consisted of multiple levels and no clear university. Sir Ludovick is considered the father of the modern education system in Torturia. His ways of teachings and principles were also very harsh.
In 1956, Ludovicks son, Amir Ludovick, created the first modern university in Torturia. The Torturian International University of Economics (TIUE). This university is the oldest still standing in Torturia and one of the finest. The entire Ludovick family is also recognized as a family of devoted educators and the fathers of modern day Torturian education principals.
LIUBLESHKU
The Liubleshku (final examination in Torturish) is also known as the hardest exam in Talonia. The exam is given to students at the last year of Lïkadesch. Lïkadesch 3, at the end of May. The examination covers 6 subjects. The core subjects recognized by the TES. These 6 are Torturish, Mathematics, Biology, Physics, History and Military Knowledge.
The exam will be held in a regular classroom and the exam will be 6 days. Each day, students arrive on campus for 5 hours to do their exam. This, along with the grades from Lïkadesch 1, 2 and 3 will be the final grade given by the student to universities to examine to see if the student is worthy to enroll in that university.

Are you done with them? Hurry up,
orders the Unterleutnant to his subordinate.
Yes, sir.
More gunshouts ring out as he puts a bullet into the head of the last Markian POW. The soldier crouches down and places his finger on the wrist of the dead insurgent, checking for a pulse.
Thats the last of them, sir.
Good.
And what of the civilians, sir?
Civilians? scoffs the Unterleutnant. These civilians have been hoarding terrorists for the past three weeks! They are complicit in crimes against the people and the state!
Sir! shouts out a young radio operator, who runs frantically towards the Unterleutnant.
Orders are in, sir. We have received authority to exercise Protocol 11 on them.
As I expected. You may begin.
Soldiers break the doors of the remaining homes that havent already been reduced to rubble by artillery and tank fire. Shouting and screaming ensues as they drag out women and children, and line them up near a drain on the side of the road.
Stop resisting! shouts a soldier with a rifle. All resistors will be shot! Comply with us and youll be unharmed.
A boy, aged about 16-17, breaks the hold of a soldier and tries to run, desperately. His head explodes after a shot fired by a soldier kills him.
NOOOOO!!! shouts a woman in the lined-up crowd. MY SON- YOU KILLED HIM! YOU-
The mothers soul-piercing cries are cut short as she joins her son, her body dropping to the ground. A flurry of machine gun and assault rifle fire rings out, and soon the entire civilian crowd has been turned to a sea of corpses.
Burn their bodies! shouts the Unterleutnant. Not a single trace! Eat their ashes if you have to.
He turns his head to the radio operator.
Tell them weve successfully executed the orders.
STATUE OF PROMISEMENT
The Statue of Promisement has began construction this week in the small urban town of Tishkancock in the state of Yablochko. (Yablochko state and Yablochko city are two different places). Tishcancocks local mayor says in an interview this morning, this statue, standing at 15 meters, will be the centrepiece of Tishkancock! And the pride of Torturia!
The statue will be made entirely of stone and granite blocks carried out of mines from the east side of the town. A large hammer and sickle with a reeve of wheat will also be placed in front of the statue base. The statue, instead of focusing on a leader, is instead the figure of a soldier. The perfect representation of Torturian patriotism. The soldier will be dressed in a vest, multiple pockets and badges. The basic uniform for a Torturian soldier. The name Promisement refers to a special word in Torturish. The idea translated to English would be forever promising. This statue will forever promise the Torturian people of the safety of their nation. And that Torturia will protect them from foreign attacks no matter the cost.
The statue will take 3 years and be finished in the year 2029.
Republic Of Turmis
Holsh, Gvard. Headquarters. April [XX] 2027, 01:47.
Genna's Second-in-Command calmly walks in, his face pale and afraid;
"General, 'Foxhole' was a failure. We've lost 14 'MIS'ses and 14 Transports with everyone on-board. The rest of them are alive, but troop morale is down. They're questioning our ability of command now." - says the man with a rather depressing tone.
Genna takes off her glasses in pure silence, staring down at the roundtable and various documents, maps and whatever else was on there. Her hands were visibly trembling, unsure if she is angry or shocked.
"General, are you alright?" - asks her Second-in-Command - "If being strategic does not work.. If avoiding civilian casualties doesn't.. We will erase them to the ground." - answers the Commander in trembling, yet angry voice, as if she was about to cry.
"C- commander.. I am unsure what you mean by that.." - says the man, afraid of what his Commander had in mind. Genna looks at him, her face blank and emotionless, her pupils shrunk;
"Gather everyone you can for the job. We're activating 'Naprolom'. After all, this is what we're known for, right?" - says the woman, sounding rather insane.
"B- but General! Think of the civilians and-" - yells out her Second-in-Command, promptly being cut off by Genna - "I DON'T GIVE A S[-]IT ABOUT THEM! WHOEVER WANTED TO LEAVE IS ALREADY GONE! EVERY SINGLE CIVILIAN IS A POSSIBLE DESERTER TO KIS! THEY CAN RECRUIT EVERYONE VIA BRIBING OR BLACKMAILING! THEY. ARE. NOT. AFRAID. TO DO THAT!" - cuts off Genna with a table slam.
Both of them stand in silence. Genna calms down after some time, yet her Second-in-Command tries to reassure her one more time, desperate as to not ruin the reputation of the army as a whole;
"Commander, I understand how you feel right now. But we must not act like them. They may celebrate this battle, but it was just the first. They have not won the war yet. We still have time!" - reassures the man.
Genna takes a long, deep breath, sighing out; - "Yeah, I suppose you're right. I apologise for the Tantrum.. Just that I feel bad for the men that we've sent there. Put more work into our scouting & recon now, will you?" - says the Commander.
The man nods with a slight smile, saluting and taking his leave.

*The local TV stations are interrupted by a national broadcast*
Ladies and Gentlemen, The President of Axistan.
My fellow Axistanis, yesterday, January 13, 2027, a Axistan Maritime Service RF-4 was shot down by terrorist forces in Volkstonia. The Terrorist forces have taken at least one prisoner of war, and demand a trade for his return. Ladies and gentlemen we do not negotiate with terrorists. We are a young nation, but we are a nation that is not to be tested. These terrorists will regret the day they pushed their luck. I urge the Congress of Axistan, and Volkstonias congressional equivalent, to approve a mobilization of air and ground assets into Volkstonia to assist the fight head on. Goodnight, my fellow Axistanis.
The tv goes back to its broadcast, but the nation is too anxious to go back to its regular activities.
What does this mean for the nation?

THE L.A.M.B RESEARCH FACILITY, 30 MILES FROM VERIDORIA
*Multiple scientists are seen running calculations, each around a table, on which sits a heavy steel canister, what it contains unknown. Suddenly, General Francis Allard enters the room.*
"I trust your calculations are running smoothly?" General Allard says, approaching one of the scientists.
"Yes, General, I assure you, the first stage is nearing completion. Once this is complete, we may begin on development on the weapon, and soon, it can be adopted. Simulations are still running on effectiveness." The scientist assures, showing Allard the computer. Allard nods, moving to grab the steel canister off the table, weighing it in its hands.
"Remind me what this is supposed to do again?" Allard asks, inspecting the canister.
"Inside is 200 grams of Iridium-192, a radioactive substance which releases gamma radiation. Once development of the rockets are started, we should be able to equip our aircraft with the 8-shot rocket cylinders to effectively control the battlefield." The scientist explains in-depth to Allard.
Allard nods, looking back at the scientist after setting the canister down. "I thank you and your team for your speedy research on this. The President is hard to please, so this will be good for her image of me, overseeing such an important project."
"It is no issue, General. I am proud to serve our great nation." The scientist salutes, earning a nod from Allard. Allard turns, and makes his leave. The scientist turns back to their work.
