The streets of Carabell rang with celebration today as the nation's despotic leader, General Juan Sardinad, celebrated his 53rd birthday in Puerto Del Fuego, the nation's capital.
General Sardinad rose to power three years ago when a bloody coup led by the military forces replaced a puppet dictator. The resulting war laid waste to much of this small Caribbean nation, and gave General Sardinad a reputation as a bloody dictator. In the days following the end of the war, which assured Carabellian freedom from foreign influence, General Sardinad was suspected to have cleared government ministries in a series of jailings and executions, replacing the executive staffs with former military officers that had supported him during his rise to power.
Although Carabell has seen much strife since the coup that installed their leader, Sardinad's strange charisma has kept the people fiercely loyal, evidenced yesterday by the chanting crowds that cheered their leader in a military parade through the capital. The General, smiling and waving from his vehicle, seemed in good cheer, showing none of the reported health problems that had plagued him for month.
Present beside him was the new government heads of the Kingdom of Agnaricia, a neighboring country that recently had their government changed through a revolt. The alliance formed between Carabell and the emerging nation seem to confirm reports that Carabellian military and weaponry were used by the revolutionaries in gaining power.
