Darkstraitese forces have been recalled from the attack on the blockade. Research has found a cure to Contact Epsilon and all strains are being wiped out. Huge parades cram the streets of every large city in Darkstrait.

OOC: By the way, what is Contact Epsilon? Is it capitalism?

The Ryccian Delegation signed the treaty in Government Island, formally ending the war.

The Delegate of the Delegation was thinking. He got angered inside, since he thought that Ryccia and Qvait lost, although it was officially a truce. He got violent with one of the personnel of the Sporaltryan Delegation, but Ryccian Security Forces seized him and arrested him, holding him under custody. He struggled to get out to fight the personnel, saying this:
"Dirty scum! Dirty scum! Get out of here, you s***! You f***, you'll be killed one day, you scum! Arrrgh!".
The position of Delegate was handed to the Deputy Delegate named Kevin Gasafoal, which apologized and tried to help the Sporaltryan Delegation. A rather violent case, people felt humiliated for losing. The next hour, anti-SSU protesters marched down in the streets of Daonlathas, reaching the Democratia Grand Palace(or the Parliament), protesting for an embargo on the SSU. Anti-anti-SSU protesters later faced off with the demonstrators, fighting in constant occasions. The police stopped the clashes, but tensions were high in the scene. Riot police tried to disperse them, as they still tried to fight with one another. The situation got so violent, that military nearby were forced to come assist the police and blocked the streets, making them to retreat. The war was over, but racial tensions now were high. Minutes after that, a group of Ryccians beated up a Sporaltryan immigrant, but were arrested by police patrolling the area. Another group of "patriotic" Ryccians shot a Bruuman woman in the leg, wounding her. As what happened with the other group, they got arrested. Both groups got 15 year sentences of racial discrimination charges and 7 year charges of attempting a homicide. Something was happening in Ryccia, and no one liked it.

If necessary, Darkstrait will send a small peacekeeping force into Ryccia. However, we are investigating reports of a missing ship, and suspect mutiny. We may have a rebellion sparking on our hands.

The Voodoo People’s Republic of Bruuma held massive celebrations for the end of the Sporaltryan War early this week. Taking advantage of the first sunny day available – it is rainy season on the island – the regime organized pompous military parades in all major cities, where veterans in gala uniforms marched hailed as heroes by the local population. The parades ended in packed stadiums and squares, where patriotic speeches were followed by concerts and fireworks. Despite the war has ended in stalemate with the return to the status quo ante bellum, the regime’s propaganda has depicted it to its subjects as a Southern Socialist Union victory achieved mainly due to Bruuma’s effort: in their version, the S.S.U. repelled the aggression of the capitalist countries and forced them into signing a peace agreement.

International geopolitical experts are still examining the repercussion of the war on Bruuma. The country has sustained considerable military expenses but has not obtained any evident economic gain from its participation. On the contrary, the disruption of trade and tourism has caused further economic losses.
Thus said, some analysts point out that the regime may have had domestic political goals, including boosting popular support, maintaining the military busy and redefining internal power balances. Others note that arms manufacturing is Bruuma’s main industrial production and export after oil and gas, and that the general geopolitical destabilization may have led to an increase in sales.
