“It’s not a good sign when riots are breaking out over an election. The government must immediately address this issue of partisan violence, lest it become necessary for the citizen to take matters of protection into his own hands. Regardless of that, the candidates must both be removed for their supporters’ stupidity.”

"Given what goes for laws in this poorly-managed occupation zone, you'd run out of bullets sooner than running out of people to kill, which is entirely odd, given there's barely any reason for any of these soldiers to have that sort of grudge against an enemy beaten with nary a fight, what, six years ago?"

Sounds the alarms! The boys are back in black, just like the good ol' days of... the Late Middle Ages? Oof, better dust off those old bones before you get all uppity.

To be honest, this just seems like any ol' imperialist conflict. Let them eat each other, I say. Just try your best to get through the day, or if you've got the spirit, try to sabotage your nation for a bit of a funny trolling. Distant wars are a nationalist cause, after all. Icky.

Holy shit is that-

A political policy that I actually like?

Maybe. I dunno. I suppose 3D printing houses is one way of solving the housing crisis. How sustainable is that, though? I'm not really sure, especially cause, honestly, I don't know much about yall's economy. Or really, how advanced 3D printing works. My experience is limited to, like, guns at most. And those fuckers aren't good at all, let alone sustainable.

Good for yall, though, I guess. More power to you.

But Genosse, gassing civilians is so… Ineffective! You’re going to waste dozens of tons of precious military equipment and, perhaps, even some of your airships! Firebombing them is much more useful and effective!
-Otto Von Ludendorff-II Field Marshall, Commander in Chief

Lakan intelligence, being misinformed about the missing nuke ending up in the colonial rebel’ hand and it being disassembled to create dirty bombs authorizes the usage of a tactical nuclear weapon against one of the known rebel holdouts in the Military Controlled Area #13, which is one of the most rebellious areas. Tactical nuke was deployed bu the Zeppelin CLX strategic bomber which also circled around, destroying surviving buildings with PGM’s. Some time after the strike Kolonialtrupplers were dropped in from the helicopters, ensuring that there were no survivors- they took in some prisoners, and after the interrogation revealed that the intel was fake and no nuclear weapon was used were swiftly executed. No amount to cover the incident from the international press was made.

An instrumental music track called "Lamenting in the rain" is now forever preserved in the Perikuresuan Music Vault, a branch of the Perikuresuan Cultural Vault which aims to preserve the most important music pieces in Perikuresu's culture.

"The track Lamenting in the rain is a relaxing, nostalgic, bittersweet, and melancholy track that describes the beauty of the city in the rain, and the passing of time via the utilisation of a choir, string instruments, and a piano, with rain falling in the background. It's one of the most recognisable tracks that can dig up even the most depressing and the sweetest in people."

In Nacrad, she would've walked away innocent or at most with a week in jail."
