Saturday Major, And Progress Regarding The State Of The Union
Despite this week's initial setback, caused by the recognition and support of the Triumvirate's illegitimate regime by Balder and the subsequent foreign occupation, the Lazarene people, backed by their allies, managed to achieve a major success at the last major update. Indeed, a force of 26 nations, both natives and foreign allies, managed to jump in Lazarus and endorse Courlany. With this operation, the first of this importance since the Coup, the endorsement gap as been drastically lowered.
The endo-gap passed from 84 (when Balder's forces flooded in) to 65 (after last night's update). At its peak, the endorsement gap closed to 48, its lowest yet, and considering the substantial boost received to the regime by the occupying forces, it would certainly be cause to worry when the invaders grow bored and find better things to do. While it was not enough to liberate Lazarus from the grasp of the Triumvirate, it was a major demonstration of force from the natives and their allies. Half of the nations implicated in the operation were, according to Sovereign Aumelodia himself, new recruits and were recruited by a sole individual. The Sovereign also stated that it was nowhere close to a full force and that larger scale operations are sure to happen in the following weeks.
Shortly after the operation, The Aetherian Isles from the Union of Democratic States, an ally of the Resistance, said the following words to the participants of the attrition run:
"On behalf of the UDS Armed Forces, I would like to thank you all for banding together on this operation tonight. It was truly an honor to do the work we did and I am happy to see many of you share similar reactions of joy. I am proud to represent the Union of Democratic States and to work here with innumerable allies and friends towards a common goal."
Is the Triumvirate getting tired of defending the region? It is possible, as they were known for being extremely effective at remove liberating nations from the region, and Funkadelia was offline for roughly a day before last night when he got back just in time for the major. According to statistics made by another member of the Resistance, the efficiency of the Triumvirate diminished by 12000% since the beginning of the attrition runs on the regime (we're not even joking here) passing from a delay of 2 to 10 seconds between entering the region and getting banjected to about 4 minutes between the two, some nations even managing to update in Lazarus, thus raising the number of influence needed for them to be banjected.
Congratulations to all the nations that participated in the operation. To those who didn't, bystanders and prospective allies, we hope this most recent tour de force can prove a hopeful sign for the decisiveness that your future support could have for freedom, community and sovereignty in Lazarus.
