Reactionary Uprising!

A cabal of reactionary military officers and wealthy land-owners has evidently prepared a military coup against the government. While the identity of some of them was known to the police, others were not yet identified. Following a leak from within the investigation, the conspirators decided to act before the entire conspiracy was uncovered. The hasty and confused nature of the coup meant that it failed to achieve the desired surprise, with units not being in position and local garrisons warned ahead of time. Loyalist troops acted quickly and successfully prevented a decapitation attack against our government, but were forced to abandon large parts of the country to do so. With the Rebellion taking hold, it appears that the country has slipped into full-scale civil war.
