The People’s Republic of Pineland was viciously attacked by terrorist elements operating out of the Islamic Emirate of Attica in 2001. Thousands died in the attack, and Pineland came out of the wreckage looking for blood. They demanded Attica give up the terrorists who attacked them and the Islamic Congress told Pineland to pound sand. So Pineland pounded the Islamic Congress into the sand with a broad-spectrum aerial and ground assault that shattered their control of Attica. It was the beginning of the first twenty years of Pineland’s Global War on Terror that brought allies and foes together and changed the world as we knew it.
