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.
