Likely the war crimes committed by both government and rebel forces during the countries previous civil war and ongoing insurgency.

Extremist campaign by Ansar al-Sunna
One horrendous crime was the attempted extermination of Christians, Shia Muslims and other religious minorities by Islamist militants during the Qahranian Civil War. Ansar al-Sunna, the largest salafist militant group of the anti-government Islamists, engaged in a systematic campaign of mass killings, in which anywhere from 8000 to 14,000 people were killed. Militants raided villages, forcing those inside to either choose between converting to Sunni Islam, or being killed. The vast majority of victims were shot, but many were also decapitated, burned, thrown from buildings or even buried alive. In several cases, militants recorded videos of the footage and uploaded it to the internet.

Government war crimes
On many occasions, government forces committed atrocities as well. In many cases, government forces used indiscriminate munitions, such as barrel bombs or rocket artillery, in populated areas. In Fahra, a town in Southeast Qahrania that was taken over by Free Islamic Front (a more liberal Islamist group), government forces retook the town and immediately began reprisals against those they deemed to have helped the militants.

On multiple occasions, government drones and war planes targeted medical facilities, aid posts or refugee camps. The worst instance of this was the Naziran Infirmary airstrike. A government operated Wing Loong II drone (made by China and supplied by the UAE via Sudan) dropped two munitions on the hospital, killing 78 people. A second incident occurred during June 2020, in which another Wing Loong II drone bombed a military cadet college in Jazira, Southwest Qahrania. The airstrike killed 29 unarmed recruits, all aged between 16 and 19.

My nation's actually pretty messed up if you look into it. We're so dedicated to keeping peace that our diplomats will ignore great crimes and injustices in efforts to not start a war. We also are so dedicated to free speech that there is a lot of religious and racial prejudice prevalent in our media and poorer areas, though much less so in actual conversation.
Basically, just imagine the darker parts of the internet (At least, the more American side of it) now, then multiply it by three. Doesn't seem that bad, but it is.

The most messed up thing in my nation is probably the fact that all citizens are born with student dept, or the fact that income is based on GPA or equivalent in fields that don't use a grade based performance rating system.

Most messed up thing about the Crimson Isles nation wise is likely their extremely harsh treatment of the LGBTQ community following 2023. People who identify as Transgenders can be arrested and sent to mental institutions at will by the police, and Homosexuals have no laws in place preventing their harassment.

Military wise it's probably the fact they have Flame Units that can burn down whole towns if they get the go ahead from the higher brass.

The Prison guards and police can also be seen as somewhat bad too to an extent but it isn't that they're corrupt, more the way they are trained and how Prisons and jails work in the nation, as they're allowed to actually physically beat up prisoners and harass them if they are being interrogated or have been sent to prison. They aren't actually allowed to kill them at random though so that's something I guess.

There was also the Copper Ridge Killer active from 1978-1991 that had a really big impact on the Police forces and Wulven Security. The Copper Ridge Killer was a Mentally deranged security officer hired by Wulven Security who had killed over 15 people during a 13 year span, and was known for slicing his victims up and placing their organs out in a sort of line that would lead to their disposed body. Most of his victims were from the 15-23 age range, he was never truly brought to justice as during the police chase that ensued following him being figured out, the Gas tank in his 1971 Varin Stallion exploded and burned him alive. His burnt Stallion and one of his uniforms as well as his Revolver are on display at a crime museum in Clayridge.

The Ventura Bay Slasher
The Ventura Bay Slasher, named as such by the media, was a serial killer active in the City of Ventura Bay between June 2000 and July 2007. The killer, whose real name was Robert Henry Grazier, was a delivery driver for FedEx and also worked part-time for UPS. Grazier's campaign of murder claimed the lives of 15 people.

Grazier, who was 37 years old at the time of his capture in 2007, would break into the houses of lone individuals, usually male, armed with a bowie knife. He would then stab them to death before taking items such as a driving license or bank card.

Grazier's last crime ended with his intended victim managing to overpower him and wound him before escaping and calling the police. Grazier fled the scene, but was soon identified via the blood caused by a stab wound inflicted by his victim. On July 4th, 2007, Grazier was arrested at his home by a Ventura Bay PD SWAT team.

Eastside Serial Shooter
The Northside Serial Shooter was a serial killer active in the lower-class neighborhoods of Eastern Ventura Bay between April and September 2021. Eduardo Jose Hernandez, a 22-year-old American-Guatemalan, was charged with 9 counts of murder and two counts of attempted murder.

Each time driving a different stolen car, and switching between .22LR, 9mm and .40 pistols, Hernandez would approach his victims at the roadside before opening fire. On September 19th, 2021, Hernandez shot and killed 45-year-old Jeremy Ford, a local homeless man, on Tower Boulevard in the Eastville neighborhood. Two officers driving nearby in their cruiser heard the shots ring out, and seconds later saw a silver Honda Accord speed past.

A 15-mile-long high speed chase followed, which ended in a car crash and subsequent shootout. Hernandez was wounded and apprehended by officers, and was later discovered to have committed the other 8 murders.

Both sides utilized AP (Anti-personal) mines during the Civil War, rendering large swathes of Bluzenval's forests and once fertile farmland completely inhabitable and unuseable. Some were even placed in urban centres. It's not uncommon for a thirty-year-old mine to suddenly detonate.

war crimes on both sides during the rebellion in Cardiff. The rebellion’s leaders authorise beating of uniformed POWs, looting, the intimidation of military, police and intelligence community families,
and indiscriminate destruction of English people’s homes at risk of killing the civilians inside.
Meanwhile, the English Bolshevik government have,
at times, authorised the killing of rebel prisoners and of any male over 15 who is in the process of resisting being detained or otherwise obstructing the security forces.
Year: 2038.
