Despite the loss of life in Ellisia, the new administration in Pineland soldiered on to make the world a better place by dealing with other autocrats. The dictator in Kemalia was killing his own people, much like the Kalarian dictator before him, and Pineland was ready to knock him off next. Having watched three nations fall in short order, he was not a fool and called for help from the Krasnovian Federation. The Krasnovians were happy to help him out against his rebels, and bellied up to the table to commence a staring contest with Pineland over whether or not they really wanted to back their words up with actions. The Pineland administration did not wish war with Krasnovia and blinked rather than pull the trigger. They quickly decided it was time to pursue other goals.
A new administration in Pineland saw the victories in Attica and Kalaria as mandates to bring the entire region into the modern age. They looked at the neighboring Ellisia’s despotic regime as a proof of concept for a new and better way to reform backwards nations. They supported local resistance movements with weapons, intelligence, and air support, and watched as they toppled the government, captured the fleeing dictator, and beat him to death on camera. It was heralded as a great victory for Pineland and the modern world. Unfortunately for Ellisia, tribal divisions caused the rebels to fragment as they fought over who would rule the nation after their great victory. Chaos and firefights ensued all over the country, culminating in the storming of a Pinelandian consulate and the death of the ambassador and his protectors. It was a dark day for Pineland.
The President of Pineland soon decided it was time to get back to unfinished business with Kalaria. It had invaded neighboring Minaria years before, and Pineland had led a multinational force to liberate the small country. Now Kalaria’s brutal dictator was killing dissidents all over his nation, and Pineland was flush with success in Attica. Getting rid of another brutal tyrant was an easy sell to the citizens of Pineland, and they supported the invasion and toppling of the Kalarian government. They followed the same model as in Attica, building a new police and army, conducting elections, and planting a new representative government into the region. It truly was a new age for mankind. There were many cracks under the surface though, and not everyone supported these initiatives.
When the People’s Republic of Pineland attacked Attica, they called on their allies to help them. Help came from such diverse places as Cortina, Mojave, Atropia, and Gorgas, just to name a few. They helped destroy the Islamic Emirate of Attica and their terrorist allies entirely. The allies then spent the next decade rebuilding Attica into a modern democratic nation where women could walk down the street alone without getting stoned to death, and minorities were not thrown off buildings. They trained a new national police and armed forces, and brought in a new era of governmental representation. All of those reforms culminated in the first democratic election for president in the nation’s history, despite the Islamic Congress of Attica’s attempts to disrupt it with terror attacks. It was the beginning a new age for Attica and the world.
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.
