The Marxist State

OOC: I was going to just revive the old thread. But half the involved nations either ceased to exist or stopped going on II, so I figured redoing it would be better

RED CITY
6:59 PM
Largest City in the Marxist State
A man in his late 20s sat on his bench as the snow came barreling down on Red City, as it always did. He had a medium paying job, loved his country, and like almost everyone, paid his taxes. There wasn't much to worry about. For almost a year The Marxist State has had almost no involvement in outside activity. The doctrine of the newly elected government was to stay out of international affairs, if at all possible.
The only thing he was worrying about was if tomorrow would be colder then yesterday. There was no use in being political, approval rates were hovering around 85% for the new government of Extreme-leftist Grigor Istava Savornaz. Unemployment rates were extremely low, as the only excuse for not working was being physically disabled.
The clocks were just striking 7 PM. As usual the polluted city was bleak, traffic was heavy, and it was snowing. On the large televisions in downtown the news was beginning. And it was a fair bet that it was some grossly humongous figure about another increase in production, or another invention by the Ministry of Technology {most of these inventions were military, and would never be used thanks to new government doctrine}
It was a normal day in the new age of peace. A tank rolled down the street. The military always did this. Even in the age of peace, the large military liked to flex its muscles to show it's still in power.
And nobody expected what happened next. The man, along with many other people in the city, were all killed.
It started when a young man pulled up in front of an auto-repair shop with a pick-up truck. He told the man behind the desk that his brakes were failing, and then left. He got a taxi and asked to go to the suburbs. The cab driver stopped, and asked for 3000 credits [or $15USD) as payment, the man kindly handed over the money and went about his business.
Meanwhile back at the auto repair shop, the mechanic opened the hood, and in that fraction of a second, thousands of lives were ended. A nuclear bomb that was built into the truck was triggered, and nobody had any hope of saving themselves

10:00 PM
Capital city of The Marxist State
Prime Minister Savornaz sat behind his desk. He was a man in his 30s with dark skin and black hair, his face always had a hint of stubble and he spoke in a loud gruff voice. He watched the large television at the front of the room, his eyes widened. He'd already heard the news, but this is the first time he's actually seen it.

A girl with a bulky radiation suit on was speaking into a microphone as her helicopter continued to make passes over the destroyed city. "And as you can see the damage here is immense. We don't know how many people exactly are dead, but as you can see," she holds out a yellow machine that is making quick buzzing noises, "the radiation level here is off the charts, we must be right over where the bomb went off. This is the worst destruction I have ever seen. Everything, the Vladimir tower, downtown, the port, it's all been wiped out. Wait, we are just getting reports...."
Grigor switched off the television. He picked up the phone. "What about the Airport?" He started to his top general without any introduction.
A scratchy voice belonging to an aging Chinese man replied. "It is completely destroyed Comrade, Satellite images show no signs that any of the equipment from our military installations is still standing, what's left of the city's a big target for terrorist attacks."
Grigor sighed, "Fine, Comrade Peng, and what about international dispatch?"
"It's just been sent out Comrade, I do hope somebody is willing to aide us."
"One last thing, General, any claims of responsibility, any clues?"
"No, Comrade Prime Minister, we don't know who could've done this."
"Alright, thank you." Grigor hung up the phone. He wiped sweat off his face, and almost prayed. However, while The Marxist State advocates religious freedom, all party members, especially the Prime Minister, must be atheist, and adhere only to the laws of the people rather then a deity.
