Muqaddasia has signed this treaty. It calls on all participants to the war, including Galapagos, to sign and accept peace. However, Muqaddasia demands negotiation on Great Oceania’s use of WMDs in the Suez, which would include an apology and reparations. Muqaddasia re-opens it’s markets to Meretican customers, and is starting to grow 70% more garlic than usual to sell to Mereticans.

Sealand signs the treaty, and talks for a ceasefire have reopened between Sealand and the insurgency, which will succeed as long as the government promises to grant more autonomy to the northern mountains over Sealand's nuclear missile placement and plans on the course of action during a nuclear war. While the protests have largely died down, Sealand has become a lot more divided due to the war, with one side in favor of a stronger foreign policy against anti-GCN expansion, and the other in favor of non-intervention and neutrality, while sending humanitarian aid and promoting the denuclearization of Sealand. The latter has the most public support, and although anti-GCN propaganda posters (secretly made by the Galapagos) have been viewed as extreme, they do reflect views that national sovereignty regarding foreign policy in the GCN should be encouraged. Meanwhile, the centrists have lost their prominent position in Parliament as Little Brother's approval rating drops massively and the socialist party has split into social democratic and democratic socialist lines, with the former more prominent. A general election will be held to decide the new government, and to establish political order in the nation again.

As Meretica enters the presidential primary season, several candidates for the Federalist and Conservative Parties have declared campaigns. Smaller parties, such as the Christian Democrats, are also holding their primaries. The first state primary is, as always, is Nevada. Two different debates were scheduled to take place, one for each party, the week before the primary would take place. Some candidates had already dropped from the race, such as Senators Bush and Gore, but others had taken their places.

A total of seven major Federalist candidates entered the race: Senator Madison Sykes of Missouri, Louisiana Governor Martin Delacroix, former Governor of New York Melissa Harrison, Governor of Vienna Harriet Reynolds, Texas Senator Alistair Durant, Mayor of Almaton Gerald Hamilton, and former Vice President Martin Davies. A draft movement was started to encourage Senator Durant's wife, Adriana, to seek the presidency, but she declined to run.

Despite being heavily favored in polls issued weeks earlier, Sykes lost momentum after Durant barnstormed across Nevada, focusing heavily on rural parts of the state before heading into Reno and Las Vegas. Her momentum was further diminished at the first Democratic Debate, where all the candidates largely went on the attack to take Sykes down. There were three main topics of discussion: Green New Deal Expansionism versus the MEAD Act, national unity, and the decline of Sykesism-- Sykes's version of left-wing populism that had briefly overtaken the Midwest. Despite being some time ago, the MEAD Act was brought to the forefront of discussion largely because of a sparring town hall that Durant and Delacroix had participated in a few days before the debate. The duo had debated MEAD's merits and discussed at length whether MEAD expansionism was needed to help expand the economy in a sensible way. Delacroix preferred an expansion of solely the Green New Deal, whereas Durant advocated a balanced expansion of MEAD (as it had been his brainchild, alongside President Edwards's) and the Green New Deal.

The first topic covered was the Green New Deal, which some moderates and centrists were suggesting expanding on instead of creating or expanding other programs. Sykes, a liberal populist, advocated expanding the Green New Deal to cover every aspect of American life while increasing taxes on the "top five percent beyond the current seventy percent rate." Davies, who had been Sykes's ally just a few years prior, called it "irresponsible" and advocated small increases with cuts to military spending to supply for Green New Deal expansion. Harrison was more in line with Durant's view that the MEAD Act and the Green New Deal should both be expanded upon, while Delacroix called all of their plans "fiscally irresponsible," pointing out that his state had budget surpluses every year because of cuts to certain parts of the budget. Delacroix pulled ahead among voters that considered themselves fiscally responsible.

The next topic covered was national unity, and it merged with the final topic, the decline of Sykesism. For some time, the nation had remained extremely divided. Durant, Davies, and Harrison all blamed Sykes for the large spike in disunity that the nation had seen during Sykes's controversial Senate tenure term, and they proclaimed that they had proudly voted for the Roy Davis unity ticket after she attempted a third-party run. Delacroix went on the attack, accusing all three of being anti-Federalist and party obstructionists. Sykes blamed the now-extinct Labour-Liberals and establishment for the disunity, saying that "the swamp wasn't drained all the way, and without a drained swamp, nothing gets done." Delacroix agreed but toned back Sykes's rhetoric.

When Sykes was defeated before the Senate was disbanded, Sykesism began to decline, though she maintained some limited popularity. Her defeat led to the fall of the populist wing of the party, with many traditional leaders (or young new progressives) replacing Sykes's biggest supporters. Harrison was one of these leaders, becoming governor of New York. Harrison (with help from Durant and Davies) sparred with Sykes over the future of the party. Davies repeatedly claimed that his bipartisan support from Federalists and Conservatives positioned him as the unity candidate, and he pledged to select a Conservative vice president.

Polls indicated that Durant had come out the victor of the first debate and that Sykes had been totally destroyed overnight. Harrison's popularity improved, and Delacroix's did as well. Davies lost support, much of which went to Harrison. Delacroix was seen as the heir apparent to Sykes's wing of the party.

Durant took 12 of the delegates, Sykes took 11, followed by Delacroix's 7, Harrison's 5, and Davies's 1. The former Vice President quickly dropped from the race and endorsed Senator Durant before starting to campaign across the South on the Senator's behalf.

Meanwhile, the Conservatives also held their debate and primary-- with far fewer candidates, one might add. Governor Nina Horrisun of Sicily (always a moderately Conservative stronghold), Senator Hunter Bradley of Texas (a long-time opponent of Durant's), and Governor Tara Hinson of Florida.

Horrisun was a fiscally conservative, economically moderate, socially progressive woman that had balanced the budget and been reelected twice. Bradley was a more assertive Goldwaterite. Hinson was somewhere between the two, but was lesser known and had likeability issues. These three debated the economy, immigration, crime, and the GCN. In contrast to the extreme polarization of the Federalist primaries, the debates were about policy-- not personalities.

Bradley repeated much of the same language that other ultra-conservatives had made, but he went further, saying, "I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue." Horrisun stuck to being positive, with Hinson largely fading into the background. All opposed the GCN, with Bradley and Hinson pledging to withdraw; Horrisun optimistically said that S. Olpen and Meretica would be able to move the GCN in a more positive direction.

Horrisun and Bradley tied their delegates at 17 each, with Hinson receiving two delegates.

Fmr. Pres. Bell thanks to the Kaiser for attending and voicing his concerns with the GCN. "Meretica has long stood to protect national sovereignty," she added. "Under my watch, that won't end anytime soon."

Zarnicovia Nova's king has coutinued to expand it's international power after the takeover. Expanding already existing military abses in the Indian ocean. Expanding Zarnicovia Nova's military industry to allow for more arms exports to allies such as the galapagos, Meretica, and Great Oceania and allowing for a large more self suffient military force. The economy would begin slowing down it's recovery from the minor sactions making it harder for imports exports and loans to be gained the economy. The outer walls of Zarnicovia Nova a idea of the past would be brought back from the threat of a GCN invasion as GCN nation approach the Galapagos and Janpia with hungry eyes. The king would approve the repairing and expansion of the outer wall. Construction works in the outer islands has already begun. The king has also improved measures to increase ZN's navy by nearly 50 ships. general expandsions of the economy and military have also occured. The debt of ZN keeps rising with economists worried. Corruption due to purges by the king has gone down on the other hand keeping faith in the economic institions for now...

Dawn Over North America: Finale

Postby North-American-State » Tue Mar 15, 2022 4:15 pm

The Purge
Gannett Peak Detention Center
Central District
North America


A man enters the office of the detention center’s warden, a Mr. John Shaw.

“Sir, we got him to confess. He wrote out a list of the people at the NALOR meeting,” said the man, handing the warden a clipboard.

“Excellent,” said Shaw, looking at the clipboard. “I will send a copy of this to Central Command immediately. Hopefully this will finally break NALOR. Thank you, Agent. Have a good day.”

“You too, boss.”

The agent left the office, and the warden copies the list on a file and sends it electronically to the MSS National Headquarters.

The White House,
Washington
Capital District


The Consul’s Cabinet sat assembled in their meeting room within the White House. They had all been briefed on the planned rebellion, and the government had gone into overdrive to 1, prevent it, and 2, stop the public from hearing about it. The MSS had sent Jackson Ewell, the only known person involved in the meeting, to their most secretive prison in the Rocky Mountains for questioning. Now, they had received the list of involved people who would need to be jailed or otherwise kept tamed.

The Minister of State Safety spoke first.

“My department has been successful in containing knowledge of the plot. I sent an officer to pay a visit to the man who originally reported the plot, warning him not to share the knowledge with others. He was good about it, and agreed. He seems to not be the type to be a spy, but we are still keeping an eye on him.

As for the list of people, my department can arrest them all simultaneously, no matter where they live. We can get addresses from government records, set up squads, and have them all gone in a night.”

“Or,” said the Consul, “We could use this to our advantage. There are a few members of the National Assembly who are being rather disagreeable. They have no connection to the plot, but we could arrest them and use this as propaganda. Kassner, what do you think?

George Kassner, the Minister of Ideology, replied, “I agree. We could use this to further our legitimacy and show any remaining rebels that they cannot win. It could be a significant morale loss for them.”

“Or, we could lay a trap,” said the Minister of Defense. “If we get a look-alike for Ewell, he could pose as him and carry out the plot without poisoning anyone, so we could catch rebels trying to set bombs in the National Assembly.”

“That’s risky. What if they have a way to detonate things remotely once the bombs are set? It would take far too long to defuse bombs if they manage to set any,” replied the Consul. “We shall just launch a purge, killing the rebels and a few political enemies, and neutralizing them. We will publicize the purge, touting it as a victory for the nation that the dissidents are gone forever. Any questions?”



“Good. Get to work.”

8385 Chestnut Drive
Troy,
Great Lakes District
0200 hours (EST)


The MSS car pulled up to the home of Nicholas Chapman, the ringleader of the new NALOR operation. The 4 agents exit the car in full gear, with guns drawn. One of them tries the door. Locked. The agent pulls a shotgun from his back and blasts a round into the doorframe, performing a ballistic breach. The door opens, and the agents rush in.

In the living room, Chapman is startled awake by the blast, and draws a handgun he had next to him. However, the MSS agents are too fast, while Chapman is disoriented. One of the agents puts a few bullets in his head before Chapman can even fire off a single round. The MSS team then go to their car, grab cans of gasoline, dump it all over the house, and set it to burn down. As they pull away, they remotely activate it, causing the whole house to go up in flame. Chapman’s body is incinerated.

Similar scenes play out at the same time around the continent, MSS death squads breaking into the residences of the NALOR operatives, killing them, and burning the evidence. Overall, 84 people are dead, 17 of them being members of the National Assembly.

The next morning, the state news agency North American Television (NATV) broadcasts the headlines about the plot, and showed the destruction of the homes. One reporter dubs it the “Cleansings of 2022,” referring to the Cleansings of 1989, the bombing campaign that originally was thought to have destroyed NALOR. No one brings up the National Assembly members, and the District Governors silently appoint new ones.

Politics and News

We are closely following the story of the case of Sam and Penny Drach, an imprisoned billionaire couple who illegally crossed the New Agrayan border in their yacht, and engaged in 'Capitalist Tendancies'. After the attack from protestors, Sam Drach was discharged from The Daughters of Killkesh Revolutionary Medical Center and determined "fit to stand trial".

With new information and response from both Francaisca and the JUGWP, the trial was held with both the support and condemnation put into consideration. In a direct democratic vote from the citizens of New Agraya, the couple was released in a rare and unusual method, determined to be a fair compromise. Sam and Penny Drach were given a bottle of water each, and released without food or supplies into a rowboat 80 km off the stormy coast of New Agraya. The Citizens of New Agraya decided in an almost unanimous decision to "let mother nature be the judge". Their location and whereabouts are now currently unknown, and this evening saw coastal temperatures fall to -10 C.

In another shocking turn of events, the staff of the billionaire couple awaiting deportation decided to defect and join The People's Republic of New Agraya. The group of former personnel were awarded honorary citizenship and party membership to participate in this historic event.

The IHRA (International Human Rights Association) and the couple's native Republic, did not seem to see this as a compromise in the least. The community expressed outrage at using 'cruel and unusual' punishment methods, which constitute a death sentence. The International Coast Guard has since been searching the icy waters to no avail.

"It remains to be seen as to what will come next as far as foreign response, but as far as we're concerened it's out of our hands! said Party Leader Aisling Cearbhaill "We know all about how they made those billions on the backs of the proletariat... They made others suffer, now it's their turn. Sure must be hard trying to get back to The Republic without a full-time staff and luxury yacht!"

53 former party members on trial





After the recent coup which took Khirelya "Karmiya" Mariyuvisch into the helm of the party, the Partei Prolischtarien Sesaschno Initarei (PPSI - Party Worker's Internal Security) has arrested 53 former party members and ministers for the following accusations:

- Counter-revolutionary acts
- Working for the 'Enemy of the Revolution'
- Betraying public trust
- Hoarding and corruption

The accused included the Ministry for International Communications minister, Khomev Raschni, The Front News labor leader, Ereschno Gibalir, Ministry of Internal Affairs, Ulrich Wesnor, and among the Party members. This is due to the pro-GCN acts performed by the members, which is ruled by a group of Emperors and Empires. According to the Revolutionary Ideals, the Emperors are the enemies of the people, and states that has one, is automatically classified as the 'Enemy of the Revolution'. Furthermore, the 53 accused may face 40 year labor, or execution. The trial will be a joint one, but the defendant's results will be a case-per-case basis.

Karmiya stated that all of this is an act to reform the Party, and push it back on the paths of Revolution. He eyes on reforming the complete edge of the Party, and it's wings. Stating that the Revolutionary Council, members of the Janpian Union of Revolutionary Forces (JURF) has also assisted the 'Enemies of the Revolution' through military acts, which does not conform within the Revolutionary Ideals. Karmiya promised that once the Party is free from the hands of the reactionaries and counter-revolutionaries, he would clear the suspension of Articles III and IV of the constitution, opening the Party Central, and the Union of Party Member's Committee (UPMC) elections.

While the war had seemed over 100 soldiers 200 sailors of 5 submarines where ordered to stay out as civilian ships landed near Cyprus. Meanwhile 7 civilian transport ships transporting 4,700 hired civilian contractors and technicians trained to clear nuclear radiation. The goal was simple establish a refugee camp for survivors while also hopefully making a base camp to supply the island with essentials. The trip would begin at 7:08 A.M. the military personnel would come from submerged submarine while the contractors and technicians would come from civilian ship. They had all been wearing Oceanian produced SEVA suits to protect against the nuclear fallout, the sailors and soldiers would also be wearing them. The troops and civilians would disembark at the wrecked port near the former city of Paphos and from there they set up camp. The technicians went in first clearing the limited radiation from the leftovers of nuclear bombs. The soldiers were second to move in securing a permitter that roughly enclosed the borders of the previous city. The official reason the soldiers are there is to signal to any survivors that the camp being set up can help them. Finally the construction crew moved in first creating a headquarters to coordinate further activities shortly after the HQ was constructed a barracks for the soldiers and a small refugee camp ready to house survivors.

Muqaddasia, still wary of the Galapagos, and alarmed what seemed to be the construction of military barracks, sent more people to aid with the restoration of Cyprus, and continued to keep hosting the Cypriots in Lebanon and Palestine, starting to rebuild cities in Cyprus but on Muqaddasi land (New Nicosia, New Limassol etc). Cypriots were given the option to stay in Muqaddasia and gain Muqaddasi citizenship.

Despite the war having ended, the Meretican Armed Forces are remaining on high alert-- mostly because of the Vampire Cult. Funds are diverted from the Meretican Space Program to fund the creation of more munitions, including several thousand that are "garlic-infused." The emergence of the cult has been dubbed the Vampire War, though the government (mostly) insists that vampires don't exist, and that things will be back to normal soon.

Nonetheless, the next race for president continues.

The next primary took place in New York, Harrison's home state. Harrison largely campaigned on her statewide record and pointed to her high approval ratings while governor. The second Federalist Debate took place in New York two days before the primary. Again, Sykes was slightly ahead in the polls, followed by Harrison. Harrison and Durant went on the attack against Sykes while Delacroix focused on his plans. Sykes was poorly organized and unable to fend off attacks yet again. Durant took a second victory, winning New York with 99 delegates. Harrison followed with 98, Delacroix with 64, and Sykes with 13. Many news pundits declared Sykes's campaign over, but still, the former president persisted.

The third Federalist Debate took place in Virginia, as the next primaries were in Virginia and North Carolina. Sykes was much more organized and held her own, landing a few decisive strikes against Harrison. Durant and Harrison kept their alliance together, though, keeping Sykes in line. Delacroix attacked all three candidates, and all three attacked him in turn. In Virginia, Sykes took 49 delegates, followed by Harrison with 28, Durant with 21, and Delacroix with 3. North Carolina's primary took place the same day, with Durant coming out as the clear victor with 89 of the delegates. Sykes, Delacroix, and Harrison took 7 delegates apiece. At this point in the campaign, Durant held a strong lead with 219 delegates, followed by Harrison with 138. Delacroix followed with 81, almost tied with Sykes at 80. Sykes dropped from the race and endorsed Delacroix; Durant and Harrison meet and announce that the latter will be dropping from the race and endorsing Durant. Durant adds that Harrison will be his vice-presidential choice if he is nominated.

The next debate took place in Colorado, shortly before the First Super Tuesday. Durant was considered the victor given his experience in successfully developing progressive policies. He worked to paint Delacroix as "too conservative" while the governor portrayed Durant as "too progressive," though Durant was considered a pragmatist nationally. Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, and the Dakotas all held their primaries on the same day. Durant gained 134 delegates to the governor's 142, placing them at 353 and 223 respectively.

The fifth Federalist debate took place in California in preparation for the Second Super Tuesday, which consisted of Hawaii, Alaska, California, Oregon, and Washington. The debate was considered a draw due to the emphasis on foreign affairs and climate change, which the duo was widely in agreement on. However, Durant led the polls and took a whopping 453 delegates, totaling 786 to Delacroix's 387.

The third Super Tuesday took place across the south the following week. Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, South Carolina, Tennessee, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Kentucky all held their primaries that day. Durant took every delegate in Texas and Tennessee and nearly won every other state. Durant passed the 1,000 delegate mark with 1,425 delegates-- 1950 away from securing the nomination. Delacroix held 750, 2,625 from the nomination.

The sixth debate took place just before the fourth Super Tuesday. Based in Chicago, Durant truly took a lead after this debate, establishing himself as a unifying party figure that could undo the corruption, instability, and dangerous policies of the likes of the DuBois Administration and ensure that the Dragonheart Order had been completely wiped out. Delacroix was unable to defend himself and proved to be inefficient at answering questions posed by Durant, moderators, and undecided voters.

The fourth Super Tuesday took place in all remaining states: Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, West Virginia, the Douglas Commonwealth, Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Puerto Rico, Sicily, Athens, Almaton, and Vienna. Durant won every race and ended up with 3,715 delegates in all-- more than enough to clinch the nomination. Delacroix withdrew from the race and pledged his support to Durant, and the establishment promised that the super delegates would support Durant's nomination despite his age.

Senator Alistair Durant of Texas was nominated by acclamation on the first ballot for the presidency. Shortly thereafter, former Governor Melissa Harrison of New York was nominated by acclamation on the first ballot for the vice presidency. As had become a tradition for the party, the convention nominated their candidate for Secretary of State and selected former Vice President Martin Davies of Virginia.

The Chamber Minister endorses Meretican Federalist Alastair Durant. Although late, it is hoped that it will be able to stop hardcore-Soritists and Democratic Communists from voting third party. The Chamber Minister hopes to meet Durant before his inauguration, or be at the inauguration.

The Vampire War has begun in South Olpen. Military units are stationed at Scezonia and Constitution City. There has been an effort to place handheld floodlights in dark areas. Also, scientists are developing an artificial aroma for garlic that can be distributed like febreeze bottles around the country. Garlic has been nationalized and is now being sold at cost.

Muqaddasia, seeing the potential to help its economy recover, starts selling garlic perfume at 2 NSD per bottle. Muqaddasia offers to send troops and detectives to combat the Vampire menace. Muqaddasia also offers to sell various Middle Eastern recipes containing garlic to the Vampire affected countries at a 20% discount. Garlic production is skyrocketing, and some analysts that Muqaddasi garlic exports will triple.

The Conservatives have also held several more debates, with Sen. Bradley and Gov. Horrisun competing closely, distally followed by Gov. Hinson. Debate after debate, primary after primary, no one could break the 50% threshold required to clinch the nomination outright. Bradley held a plurality by a single vote, followed by Horrisun, and then Hinson. Horrisun was seen as the strongest of the three, but Bradley was nominated on the third ballot after Hinson's delegates flocked to him, hoping to make the case for moderation in the next cycle. Bradley selected Senator Alexandra Hayes of Vienna as his running mate, hoping to appeal to North American and European Mereticans alike, as well as some moderates.

ISC: Hinson's delegates largely flocked to Bradley because he made several backroom deals and policy promises to various party leaders and obtained the nomination, including promises to gut the MEAD Act, some healthcare, and the Green New Deal. Should this leak, it would be the end of his campaign.

The Marajarbian Government has announced some of its plans for the future of the Global Confederation of Nations as the next World Assembly, which include, but are not limited to Expanding the GCN Armed Forces, Intervening in some international conflicts with peacekeepers and/or the military, improving world trade and international unity, creating a GCN equivalent to the Save Diplomacy Summit, and laying new foundations for the future of alliances and of the world. One of the first steps that the Marajarbian Government is doing is getting GCN Peacekeeping Forces into Aursi as a part of an initiative to secure peace by establishing refugee camps and protecting civilians for the duration of the conflict.

The Reclamation War, Part 4

Postby Gonswanza » Wed Mar 16, 2022 9:06 am

The Battle of the Bering Sea ends as a massacre. Even the survivors are left to die, as the Gangut class subs refuse to offer aid to the floating life rafts, sent adrift through the cold, endless night. Nobody would be escaping this alive, save for the Gonswanzans. The PLAN and USN are no more, effectively. And yet, their own personal hell, from the perspective of the survivors, had only just begun.

Around Thacker Pass, the Gonswanzan air force is cutting down the USAF, hard. The tired, untrained pilots from the bunkers are quickly getting bested by superior, well-trained, and well-slept pilots from the Gonswanzan carriers. Stray aircraft are dropping out of the sky, while on the ground, the tanks are completely outmatched. The Kashmirs are effectively cleaning house, while anti-aircraft systems are being deployed soon, as if to finish off the battle for the air.

Battles around the African mines rage on, the defenders holding their ground against the invaders, as Sword APCs tear into the ranks. Even with the lack of aerial support, the guerrilla fighters and militiamen hold their ground in a desperate last stand. This was, after all, their final fight. And they refused to go into the night silently, even if it would cost them their freedom and their lives.
Praise our glorious leader Laura Ortiz!

Meretica emphasizes the importance of maintaining a small military within the GCN that is used solely to defend or be used as peacekeepers. "Member states ought to be able to defend themselves," GCN Senator Bell said in a statement. "We need to focus more on domestic affairs, not foreign affairs. Military spending needs to be rolled back."

Muqaddasia announced the formation of a pro-government coalition to intervene in Aursi. Though it is meant to be temporary, some government officials hinted that it might become something more permanent.
Muqaddasia has declared that the AI project has been completed, and it will be unveiled soon.
A new AFV has been unveiled, called Batal al-watani. More details may be released soon.
The minimum wage has jumped from 15 NSD to 17.5 NSD. The reason for this is unknown, but the proposition passed in the Council.
Muqaddasia has declared that 410,000 Cypriots will be staying in Muqaddasia instead of returning to the island, which will establish a significant Cypriot minority in Palestine as 360,000 of them are staying in the north and west of the Region.

Buy The World Another Day (Part 1)

Riverton City

Ian Miles was chasing a hitman who had attempted to kill him, down the Stromberg River. The hitman was in a speedboat, and Ian was on a jet ski. The hitman had a thumb drive, with sensitive information on it. Ian had to get it back. The hitman began firing at Ian, taking his eyes off the water. Ian fired back, and the hitman crashed his boat into a fishing pier. The hitman got off the wrecked boat, and began to run up the pier. Ian was still on the jet ski, shooting at the man. Ian jumped onto the pier, and ran after the guy. He shot him, with one hand, and a steely look on his face. As the man fell into the river, Ian grabbed the drive. He looked down as the body splashed into the river.

"It's not even like that in real life" complained Jack Denver, who was having trouble suspending his disbelief.

"Shhhh" shushed another theatergoer. "We're trying to watch the movie!" said another one. "I missed the one-liner, jerk!" one yelled.

"C'mon Kristin, let's do something else." he whispered to his wife, next to him.

"You're the one who wanted to watch the new Ian Miles movie" she said to him.

She was right. Jack had been a fan of the spy action films since he was a kid. They inspired him to join the NSS, and shaped his daring, wise-cracking, devil-may-care attitude to espionage. But now he found that real life was not like the movies he grew up watching. Also he didn't really like the new Ian Miles actor, too blonde. Luckily for him, an excuse to leave was incoming.

Jack felt his phone vibrate. He looked at Kristin, whose phone was also buzzing. They both got up and went to answer the their phones. It was the NSS, who wanted them to report to the rebuilt NSS Headquarters, the Citadel, in downtown Riverton.

The Citadel, NSS Headquarters
Downtown Riverton City


"Welcome to the new and improved Citadel" said the new Director of the NSS, Adam Peterson. "Come this way" he added, showing Jack & Kristin to the briefing room.

"Several days ago, a new leader came to power in Janpia." said Chief Analyst Ryan Jackson. "Our intel suggests he is not afraid to use nuclear weapons, or to target Western countries." continued Jackson.

"An NSS agent was able to escape shortly before the coup, and is currently laying low in Hong Kong." added Adam. "Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to locate the agent, and find out what he knows. Should you or any of your team be caught or killed, the NSS will disavow any knowledge of your actions." stated Adam.

Jack & Kristin exchanged a look, then turned to Adam, and said, "Heck yeah" almost in unison.

"Jackson will escort you to the weapons and gadgetry lab, where you'll receive your gear." said Adam, who had an intelligence agency to run.

Weapons and Gadgetry Lab

"This is-" said Ryan about to introduce the head of the lab.

"Nick!" exclaimed Jack.

"Long time no see" said Kristin.

"Yup, I'm in charge of the lab now, crazy huh?" said Nick, walking over to a table with weapons and gear spread out on it.

"So, what've you got for us Q?" asked Jack, referencing another movie.

Nick held up a gun; "Standard 9 mil. sidearm for both of you. Moving on, here's one you'll love, Taser watch, developed it myself. Let's see, what else do we have? Camera/microphone cufflinks, explosive chewing gum, don't touch that. Umbrella shield, rocket-launching attache case." Nick was listing all the items.

"What's that?" asked Jack pointing to a tuxedo set on the wall.

"Oh, that's a bullet-proof tuxedo." explained Nick

"Didn't I already have one?" asked Jack.

"No, you were just lucky enough to dodge bullets and be the right distance away from explosions" said Nick. "Like in the movies, there's a whole TvTropes page about it" said Nick sarcastically.

"What's under this tarp?" asked Kristin

Jack pulled the tarp off.

"Ohh-ho-ho, yeah!" exclaimed Jack, as his face lit up.

"No, it's still a prototype" said Nick

"C'mon" said Jack, like a little kid asking his parents for something.

As expected, parts of Almaton and New York City are attacked after midnight hits both cities in their respective time zones. Director Hawthorne, the head of the Meretican Bureau of Investigation (more commonly known as the Agency), is on the ground in New York with dozens of agents, working tirelessly on the frontlines. Civilians are told to stay indoors, but at least 100 are killed in their homes, blood sucked from their bodies; many are wounded, limbs covered in bite marks and slashes. At least 50 soldiers and 200 agents are killed or wounded in the two cities. The Director was badly bitten and slashed; he is currently hospitalized.

The Vampire War will have a significant effect on the presidential race, with Senator Bradley polling slightly better on "the vampire issue" due to his strong stances on obliteration rather than the rehabilitative stances that Sen. Durant has taken. President Edwards's popularity takes a small hit, and the Senate moves to significantly increase funding for the Agency, which has been tasked with handling the issue. The Deputy Director largely takes control of the Agency, though it is hoped that the Director will recover quickly.

Galapagosian nationalism hit a new high after the victory in the Mediterranean and the defeat of the GCN saw the nation revitalized and with a well trained and veteran military that had seen warfare first hand. It also helped in unifying a country that did not know where to go from the 2nd Galapagos Civil War. However now the Galapagos was in a cross roads not knowing where to go from here. While SM was still in the public eye to be burnt to the ground the government knew that it would be a suicide mission despite the disunity of the GCN at this current point. Yet the government knew where to go next an old ally now considered a traitor worse then SO. Germania, the cofounder of the ACI which had previously voted against annexation by the GCN the government and had only recently joined it after booting the Galapagos for no reason whatsoever now the Galapagos saw the GCN as infiltrating on the sphere of influence of the Galapagos as the government had plans to incorporate GG into the metropolitan of the Galapagos as an unofficial colony. Now the Galapagos emboldened by the victory felt it was the right time to strike.

Early next morning the Galapagos announced an ultimatum to GG with the following demands

1- GG abandons the GCN and agrees to remain neutral
2- The current government will be removed and replaced with a pro-Galapagos one
3- GG will be firmly in the influence of the Galapagos until the people can be de-corrupted
4- As punishment for corruption Germaina will give up Hungary and Poland which will be split according to the Galapagos

SIC: Meanwhile propaganda was still being spread in Sealand for the most part painting the GCN as an exploitative imperial threat to Sealand sovereignty while also painting Little Brother sitting with Emperor Jackson watching from above as Sealand civilians slave away just for their resources to be stripped away by the imperialist menace. Now though it began showing propaganda posters painting the Galapagos army in a good light fighting against the cruel GCN showing them as liberators of the world against the communist grip of the GCN and specifically SM. This was to hopefully sway public opinion to allow Galapagos military vessels to dock and refuel for the invasion of GG. Another group of agents codenamed Blueberry Slushy Force had the task of infiltrating SO with propaganda posters that also showcased the old ally of SM as untrustworthy and brutal that will eventually enslave SO unless they fight it now and break ties with SM or boot them out the GCN. The agents 7 of them each were equipped with a Glock 43 and 50,000 NSDs taking inspiration from Janpia they were to find homes and steady jobs to avoid suspicion while also looking out for possible military movements that would support GG.

IC: In other news Galapagosian exports of garlic to Meretica have begun to increase massively to support the demand and to help the Galapagos economy.

IC: Meretica begins importing garlic wherever it can be found-- IHS, Galapagos, fellow GCN nations, wherever. The price somewhat stabilizes, but it remains relatively expensive.

ISC: Privately owned armies belonging to the vampires are prepared in case an invasion of the Galapagos is deemed necessary. The vampires would invade, take over the lower classes, enslave the populace, and then feast, feast, FEAST!
