The Republic of Aviangon-Germain - a nation that is basically a 5-Island City laying off a continent near the equator -
Has experienced a Citywide gerneral strike - after the President of Aviangon-Germain, Jean-Paul de Martin raised taxes
on all products produced in Aviangon-Germain and coming into Aviangon-Germain by 60%. Workers in Aviangon-Germain's
Largest industry - the Information Technology Industry - Became heavily angry and called for citywide gerneral strike to
bring everything to a halt within 36 hours through Proletarianist Worker Action Groups (WAG's). Also at this time, Aviangon
-Germain City University (AGCU) students, have taken over the main branch and opened it up to the public forming a
Local Non-Authoritarian Community Assembly. The City-State government is on the verge of declaring a state of
Emergency - to prevent the furthering of any Revolt to establish Proletarianism in the City-State. more news soon.

At the University:

A Group of students come out to the front steps of the buliding to make a annoucement;

"Comrades, Workers, Students, We The People of the Republic of Aviangon-Germain wish to establish a non
-hierarchial community assembly to put power back in the hands of the People. President De Martin has done
a crime that goes against the interest of every Aviangon-Germaininois - Rasing taxes on everything from Soda
to Gasoline by 60% when the average Aviangon-Germaninois is payed a low wage by the IT industry bosses
and the capitalist government that controls this city. We can't afford the taxes - and since we obiviously risk
facing a situation that will not do us any good - We are going to take our city back from the Capitalists establish
a Proletarianist Commune in which alienated labor is abolished and where the Image-Based Culture is in ruins.
Workers and students of Aviangon-Germain, Unite!"

after this, the crowd that surrounds them cheer. News of this soon reaches the Local Media of Aviangon-Germain.

A few hours later, workers from the Second island, which is a part of the City-State, march on the bridge that goes straight towards the Downtown area of the Republic of Aviangon-Germain. As they arrive, they begin the second biggest demonstration
in the nation's history, with as many as 5,000-100,000 people. In response, the Aviangon-Germain Police Department (AGPD)
unleash their numbers on the demonstrators, resulting in many wounded and hurt. This makes every worker within the City
-State become even more angry at the capitalist government, the Rich upper class of the city-state, and the police officers.
