Pineland evacuated their embassy ahead of the advancing Islamic Congress troops and moved to the last free airport in Attica. With the situation rapidly accelerating further out of control, Pineland citizens and allied governments alike demanded action from the Pineland administration. They finally bowed to those demands and sent troops back into the country to secure the airport and support an evacuation of Pineland citizens and allies. When pressed on the matter, the president promised to evacuate all Pineland citizens before withdrawing the military again. He also promised Pineland’s allies that the troops would remain long enough for them to evacuate their own citizens and allies as well. And he promised the Islamic Congress that the troops would leave by the end of the month, whether all citizens and allies were evacuated or not. All of those promises could not be kept.
