It was a normal morning in the Derman Ferries vessel. And by that I mean everyone was unhappy. Cranky children cried to their parents as they had to wake up so early to make this normal crossing to Culipo Island. Some tried to get some sleep, some tried to eat breakfast, and the more adventurous stood on deck in the cool tropical ocean air. However, the feeling of normality was only skin-deep. Scattered throughout the vessel were men of the Free Nationalist Army, or FNA, with kevlar underneath their jackets and ski masks and assault rifles in their bags. All the FNA sat, staring at their phones, because when their leader sent out the message they would take out their weapons and seize control of the vessel.
These men were mostly from North-Eastern Derclum Island, an area with a mostly nationalist-leaning population. To explain what is a nationalist, we must go back almost a century. In 1927, after years of fighting colonial rule from Kington Langley, a man named "Edward Nino Werty" managed to secure independence for the Derman Iles. Immediately after the Kingtonian withdrew their colonial influence, he declared the "Dictatorship of Derman Iles", with himself as dictator. Thousands of enraged Dermans, who thought the country should be a republic, revolted against Edward. This led to the "Derman Iles War", which was won by the dictator. Until 2013, the Dermans would be ruled by a series of dictators. Them and their supporters were called the Nationalists. Then, in 2013, an international coalition invaded the country and established a Republican government. Today Republicans and Nationalists are fighting, each wanting their government to run the country.
What happens when the two groups go head-to-head in a conflict of titans? Who knows. But, we will find out very soon.
