Puerto Pollo celebrates the first Revolution Day
One year after the end of the Second Civil War, the country experiences peace and recovery at the cost of political freedom and national sovereignty

On March 9, Puerto Pollo celebrated the first Dìa De La Revolucion to commemorate the victory of the Pollos Endemoniados Revolucionarios (PER) that last year put an end to the Second Civil War - with the decisive help of Bruuman forces.
A military parade was held in the afternoon in Danjer Cove, where the biggest honors were reserved for the veterans of the Sporaltryan War and the Darkstrait Civil War. After the parade El Pollo Diablo himself, PER's leader and self-styled Boss Maximo of Puerto Pollo, delivered a speech to the crowd gathered.
When the dusk arrived, the entire island turned into a one big party for locals and tourists alike that went on untill dawn, fueled by music, dances, parades, firework, alcohol and also more seedy recreational activities.

El Pollo Diablo at the present continues to enjoy a wide public support: during this year, the country has experienced a fast recovery. Most of the basic infrastructure has been rebuilt, the tourism and sea trade industries, now under public control, are flourishing and the population enjoys welfare and services previously unknown.
But all of this has come with a price, payed first with national sovereignty. Puerto Pollo is now a Protectorate of Bruuma, which mantains a huge military garrison on the island, and while a certain degree of autonomy is given in the management of internal affairs, albeit under the surveillance of Bruuman "advisors", the foreign policy and international relations are completely in the hand of the VPRB. PER and Puerto Polloans in generals don't seem to mind this too much, since it made them able to enjoy peace and prosperity for the first time in decades (Bruuman financial help is one of the main sources of revenue for the state, allegedly along with trafficking).
A more critical point lies in the complete absence of political freedom. While Puerto Pollo enjoys much better civil rights and personal freedom compared to Bruuma, any form of political dissent or even criticism is harshly repressed by PER.
What the future hold for this little, troubled island is yet to see, but is certain that El Pollo Diablo intends to be around for a long time.
