Government Crack-down!

No doubt upset with the continued independence with which we conduct ourselves, the Second Republic government, with its Stalinist allies, have attempted to seize control over key strategic locations and buildings in our territory. Rebuffing these attempts has resulted into an exchange of fire with our erstwhile allies, which has since escalated into full-blown street fighting. In their inability to compromise the government has effectively placed us in a state of war with them, and in so doing has greatly strengthened the Nationalist position.
