*A state of emergency is put in place right across the nation - security is greatly stepped up as three national days of mourning are declared. The president is given a state funeral.*

*The person responsible is identified by the security forces as being a native of JRV, male, and lone gunmen. Intelligence establishes he had a personal disliking towards the President and was an extreme right-winger. Several other persons are arrested for planning the assassination with him, and an organization he was a member of is placed under surveillance by the Central JRV Internal Intelligence Agency (CJRVIA).*

*The security forces undergo a major review, and several officials are sacked for their laxness in handling the President's personal security. The Diplomatic Protection Service (DPS) is set with the sole purpose of protecting dignitaries and visiting diplomats. Agents are chosen from the other security forces and given special extra training. The intelligence agencies are also given extra funding and their roles are greatly increased.*

*The country perhaps will never be the same again...*
