Pineland evacuated many of the Atticans and Pineland citizens who made it through the checkpoints to the airport in those final days. They did not evacuate those stopped from getting through the gates. And many who did were still denied flights. The last military planes evacuated Attica days ahead of the deadline, leaving behind thousands of citizens and allies in an Attica under Islamic Congress control. They reported that some Pineland citizens had elected not to leave, and that all they had to do was contact Pineland if they changed their minds. Citizen-led rescue efforts of Pineland citizens and allies continued, but the Pineland administration interfered at every opportunity. They stated that since they had no forces on the ground, they didn’t know who was on the flights, and therefore could not help potentially dangerous elements get out of Attica.
