This is San Lumen Today Breaking News Here is Vivian Brinkov

"Good Evening this just in to SLN the government of the Ixzaran Republic as well as that of Neoplanta have collapsed. The precise reason is not known at this time. However we are receiving reports of serious unrest in Laurana City and elsewhere. There are unconfirmed reports of explosions across the city. We do not have any available information at this time as to a cause. In the case of Neoplanta the situation appears calmer especially in Serbia, Moldavia and Translyvania. The regional governments there appear to have the situation under control. The same cannot be said for the rest of the country. As we get more information we will report to you live.''

This is the GDN with today's news.

"Good evening, today's report is about the lousy performance of our beloved national team on the Chicanan Open" begun to report Viktor Marsh, when he suddenly made a pause and spoke to someone outside camera."Breaking news ladies and gentlemen, we just receive reports of serious unrest in Laurana City. Riots in Andorra and Catalona were also reported. All indicates that Ixzaran Republic government has somehow collapsed.

We also got reports of riots in Neoplantan cities, it appears that the lost of Hellas was what triggered the situation. The intensity of the riots vary from region to region, some being more under control than others, as in Transylvania. Our government has yet not made a declaration, though our envoy to Ukraine informs us that some troops are being mobilized to the Neoplantan borders."

Agent Jinghua Li of the Imperial Intelligence Service read though more reports from Commodore Ramius, and reports from what ever info the IIS could get on what happened in Ixzaran.

From what she could deduce there was serious civil unrest across the Republic, probably related to a deteriorating economy, with the worst being at Laurana City. The central government held an emergency meeting and some group had set up and detonated a large bomb at the meeting place, effectively killing off most of the central government. The total lack of a central authority triggered a chain reaction in a break down in law and order. She couldn't be sure yet what the next phase would be. Would the country disintegrate completely? Would it fracture into multiple smaller nations?

She wasn't yet sure if the events there were related to the black market network. Though it certainly didn't take much of an imagination to see that an illegal arms dealer would have a golden business opportunity if a nation's central government were to collapse and plunge the nation into chaos.

"A massive car bomb has gone off at the San Lumen Embassy in Laurana City instantly killing Ambassador Gregori Sanovivich whom is believed to have been the target. The Ministry of Oil has seen a car bomb go off as well in addition to the Ministry of Science. We cannot confirm at this time the condition of Minister Anastasia Barensky. It is belevied she may be inside. However we can confirm Ambassador Sanovivich has been assassinated. In other news Royal Army troops have been stationed near the border with Transylvania, Moldavia, and Serbia. The reason is not known at this time. Any further updates will be brought to you as soon as we get them.''

"Jason, what the hell is going on?"

Helene Aremstrang was rather tense, as she questioned the President upon his aborted return to St. John's.

"As I said, everything appeared fine in Montenegro and then myself and Szel got word of problems in their capital. He had Aida and I and the staff flown out by helipad to the Montenegrin capital while he met with his leaders."

"You know they are reporting the Ixzaran Republic collapsed right?"

"Jason told me as much after we took off."

"We supposedly so did Szel's government."

"The hell?"

"Look, all we know is that the Northern consulate in the capital was evacuated. Not that we had much stuff there, but we have had all relevant documents on their way back."

"Wait, Szel said nothing of any craziness in the state."

"Of course. We're checking with connections in San Lumen, we trust their information a bit more than the Veomese links we have."

"When should we know more?"

"Hopefully in the morning. A loss of Neoplanta would place the state in a more precarious position against the monarchies and Byronmander-Provinces alliance."

"What about Ixzaran?"

"We know they went to radio silence recently so we think the situation there could be more dire."

"So we can't have a relatively calm region to reside in."

"Of course not."

King Edward received the news in Vienna.

Immediately, he was on the phone with the Chancellor.

"Mr Bentham, our first priority is to evacuate all subjects of Celatoria from Neoplanta and Ixzara. Secondly, send messages to Byronmandy, San Lumen, North Chicanan, the United Provinces, MVN, Veomo and Garangale calling for calm and considered action."

"I've already done so."

"Excellent. I trust you did so in my name?"

"Yes. I knew that these republics were unsustainable. Without an independent figurehead they are weak."

"That is possibly so, Mr Bentham, but now is not the time to consider it. Try to prevent any panic in Celatoria for now."

Alexandria-Monaco-Ville-Nice: Foreign Minister Nelson Beaudelairen was in one of the command and control rooms in the Foreign Ministry headquarters. He was wishing, no hoping was the better word that the Queen and Pharaoh were back in Alexandria. They weren't however and he was in charge. The many monitors in the room had the faces of various intelligence types, ambassadors, generals, and experts. Seemingly everyone had a differing opinion as to what was going on and the even bigger question, was the Empire safe? If two stable countries could just fall in a matter of hours who to say some devious plot wasn't in motion to topple the Empire? The Foreign Minister was listening impatiently to the experts speak tapping his fingers on the heavy table.

Expert 1: Neoplanta seems to have fallen due to the overwhelming anti-neoplantan sentiment in Hellas and there coinciding independence. This has led to widespread rioting and looting throughout the country and the government has not been able to effectively do anything. In fact we can't even tell if they cease to exist.

Nelson: And what of Ixzara?

Ambassador to Ixzara: The governments gone, and there is widespread rioting and even terrorist activity. The San Lumense embassy has been bombed and the ambassador killed.

Nelson: Any word on who's responsible?

Expert 2: No word, we don't know if this is the tip of the iceberg or even just the start.

Nelson sat back in his chair deep in thought. This could be a massive terrorist attack or the actions of an enemy like Byronmandy. Either way more time was needed before a major action could be taken. Until then he would just have to sit and wait, something he didn't like to do or really want to do.

Nelson: Put the army on its highest alert. I'm going to contact the royals, we need there council.

The Imperial Council Chambers had be a buzz since news got out of the collapse of Ixzaran and Neoplanta.

All twelve Council members were present and the image of Emperor Julii, still in Vienna, was on a large monitor in the room. The Conference was in recess and Emperor Julii and Colonel Almathea took the opportunity to return to the Emperor's personal aircraft Grangale One, while Colonel Kiryu remained at the hotel.

"So... what course of action shall we take?" Councilor Clifford asked.

"Your majesty, San Lumen is right in the middle of that chaos, should we dispatch the Imperial Guard?" Councilor Arlington asked.

"No, the 200 or so here are plenty good enough, they have their combat equipment stored on their transport, and since word got out, they've quietly worked with San Lumen forces to secure the hotel. We're safe here." Emperor Julii replied.

"Are we just going to let this go, assume it isn't our problem?" Clifford asked again.

"Given our involvement in the rest of the continent's affairs now I don't think we can ignore it. Not with the whole black market mess now including nuclear materials.." Julii answered.

"Indeed, can you imagine what could happen if criminal elements took control of either country?" Councilor Buckingham pointed out.

"We could send the 5th Fleet there to set up refugee camps to the south." Councilor Ashley suggested.

"And how are We going to pay for that?" Julii inquired. "Last the Council has told me, part of the defense budget has already been set aside for the base in Nova Zembla."

In the corner of the screen the Councilors saw a woman, Colonel Almathea, lean in and whisper something in the Emperor's ear. "Look, We need to get back to the confrence, I'll leave full authority and discretion on this matter to the 12 of you."

"Yes your majesty" the Council replied in unison.

"Ok lets try to think of something here, we can't just ignore this situation." Councilor Lauderdale pressed.

"Well first we need to find out what the other countries are doing, whether or not we decide to send the 5th Fleet should depend on that." Clifford said. "We cannot just let the area become a haven for criminals and terrorists if we can do something about it." he added.

Alexandria-Monaco-Ville-Nice: Foreign Minister Nelson Beaudelairen sat in the Foreign Ministry speaking over closed circuit communication with the Queen and Pharaoh during there break in Vienna. Several other notables including the defense minister, intelligence head, and the ambassadors to Ixzara and Neoplanta also were present. They had much to speak of now that Ixzara and Neoplanta seemingly swiftly collapsed and fallen into chaos. It seemed no one knew quite how to proceed and no one could come to any sort of consensus on how to act. The Queen and Pharaoh it seemed had differing opinions as well with the Queen saying " If Ixzara has indeed collapsed that is a tremendous amount of military hardware and personnel that are now in questionable hands. Do we know what the status of the army is?". The Defense Minister Ptah then informed the Queen that it seemed some Ixzaran army units were fighting one another for power usually fighting along geographic and ethnic lines. The Queen seemed to think the Empire should intervene immediately while the Pharaoh said "Why don't we let them fight each other to the end? What's dead Ixzarans to us besides dead enemies?". Foreign Minister Nelson Beaudelairen then said "Ixzara and Neoplanta are both well within our sphere of influence and we need to influence the results of whatever may come out of this situation.". All seemed to agree on this, if not anything else.

Commodore Ramius and Captain Jintao were at the Venator's officer's mess having their breakfast. Ramius was reading a copy of the Directia Daily News that had been dropped off with the supplies that morning.

GENOCIDE IN THE FORMER IXZARAN REPUBLIC

The headline read. Apparently things had broken down into tribal and ethnic lines and now age old ethnic rivalries had flared up once again. The military had fragmented along with the central government and devolved into warlordism, fighting each other for a piece of the pie and at the same time trying to exterminate their ethnic rivals.

"So what do make of that?" Jintao asked, pointing at the news paper with a maple syrup coated fork.

"Agent Li, suspects that the guys running the black market ring might have something to do with it. She's pretty worried about some of unaccounted nuclear materials ending up there, so she's been pressing to get some intel guys on the ground there." The other replied.

"What about Neoplanta?" Jintao asked.

"I hear it's a little more stable, the regional governors have taken control and been able to maintain law and order in some parts. But who know's how long that will last. Seems right now the bigger concern is Ixzaran. It wouldn't surprise me at all if the 5th Fleet was sent there, and even us later on down the line." Ramius replied before taking a sip from his English breakfast tea.

"Well, have you heard the rumors?"

"What rumors?" Ramius asked, wondering what it could be that Jintao was talking about.

"Supposedly the Imperial Council is considering carving out a colony in the southern part of the country, give us more of a presence in the region. Only rumors though."
