The previous administration had made an agreement with the Islamic Republic of Attica and the Islamic Congress of Attica to remove Pineland forces if the two cooperated towards forming a coalition government. The new administration changed the withdrawal deadline from winter to the middle of fighting season, ignored the preconditions the Islamic Congress had to live by, and did not declare a general evacuation of Pineland citizens and allies to get them out of the country. They then evacuated all military personnel from their primary military base, in the middle of the night, without telling their Attican allies, over a month before the new deadline. They also pulled out all of the Pineland technicians maintaining the Attican air force, stopped paying the Attican army and police, and removed all other support from them. The chaos that caused could not be underestimated.
