For the past 50 years the large peninsula nation of Escon was controlled by a pro-capitalist republic. Yet as in most government systems, over the years it slowly became corrupt paired with the massive percentage of the population under the poverty line cause for massive divisions to arise in the country. Small protest and sit-ins began across the nation, but to little effect. Soon more radical groups began flooding into the nation, some home grown and other foreign, raising the tension between the split group movements and the government. Finally in 2015 an splinter group of the military, known as the Escon Liberation Army, stormed the capital in an attempt to overthrow the current government. After a short three day war between the military and the Government the ELA secured victory setting up a Military regime. After 3 weeks of oppressive control the military government began to falter as rebel groups and in fighting took their toll on the new and weak government. After a week of fighting the government was on the verge of collapsing.
The civil war that followed set up the base for a Humanitarian crisis. The Nation of Escon was home to over 60 million civilian, many of whom have already been displaced. The nation of Eskar which borders Escon has closed borders to all Esconian, and has threatened a mass invasion of the nation should the situation threaten them. A neutral country of Ethor has agreed to take on Refugees but has no way of entering the country due to the no fly zones, and the destruction of multiple ports. The situation has now gained the attention of the United Mirandus Assembly as well as several other nations, who have moved into assess the the situation and try to prevent a full humanitarian crisis.
