After the assasination of the elected imperator of Generia the interim government is slowly crumbling to the ground. After the shooting thousands of people took to the streets in celebration, shouting death to the puppets. Several armed groups of religious fanatics assembled with automatic weapons that they had been storing since the end of their civil war. These death squads proceeded to attack one another and burn government buildings and churches to the ground. Several peacekeepers stationed in the volatile region have been fired upon and 2 deaths have been reported. What the nation had feared seems to be happening as we speak; the religious factions have begun armed attacks on each other resulting in the death of, so far, 100 people. Many of the nation's citizens are fleeing over the borders into the surrounding territories in what appears to be the countries first all out holy war. Amekh Anoush has taken control of the crumbling government in hopes of stopping this holy war before it spreads. The remaining members of the government have holed up in the capitol to await government helicopter transport out of the region.
