The Hard left Government of Gerrst is struggling to contain the reactionary movement known as the dark enlightenment. The movements vanguard, the so called Edgelords foiled every attempt from the government to suppress them. After gaining seats in the Parliament, through a satirical party, they formed coalition called the Patriarchal Union. Following the PU's leaders call for the abolition of women's rights. (He said it was a joke.) All the parties in the union were banned. This however triggered a resistance that has grown into a rebellion.
The government, led by PM June Kaefer has no opposition in the Parliament, but no longer commands the support of the majority. Furthermore, the Edgelords have taken arms, with success. The under funded Security Forces are not up to the task, and several towns have fallen into Edgelord control.
A state of emergency has been declared and the PM has appealed for outside help, especially as she suspects that the Edgelords are receiving foreign support.
OOC:
There are plenty of ways to be involved. One can support either side, and if one disagrees with both side's politics, one can always use the offer of support to influence them. One can also take a realist approach and support one side in order to weaken the other, as well as to fight a proxy war.
I am also looking for an experienced RPer to be Co-OP. To sign up, explain what role you wish to play. Also, ask questions.
