The President of Grozovia Addresses the Nation

November 27th, 2023 – It has been nearly 72 hours since the attacks began. The hearts of Grozovians all across our glorious nation are filled with fear & uncertainty. The following message was broadcast on all frequencies before communications went offline;

“Today, we find ourselves on the front lines of a battle we did not seek, but one that fate has thrust upon us. As we stand here in the field, the echoes of our fallen comrade’s words still resonate in our hearts. We have been called to defend our homeland against rebels who seek to disrupt the peace we hold dear.

In times like these, it is easy to be consumed by the gravity of the situation, by the weight of responsibility that rests on our shoulders. Yet, I stand before you not with fear, but with an unyielding belief in the strength that resides within each of you.

Our fallen comrade spoke of the challenges we face, but they also spoke of our indomitable spirit. As soldiers, it is our duty to face adversity head-on, to stand as a bulwark against those who threaten our way of life. In this field, we are not just individuals; we are a cohesive force, bound by a shared purpose and a commitment to protect all that we hold dear.

The rebels may think they can break our resolve, but they underestimate the power of unity and determination. We are the sons and daughters of Grozovia, and we will not waver in the face of this threat. Our strength lies not just in our weapons, but in the bonds that tie us together as comrades, as brothers and sisters in arms.

In the coming days, we will be tested. The field will bear witness to our courage, our discipline, and our unbreakable spirit. Remember the training that has prepared you for this moment. Trust in your fellow soldiers, for they are your greatest allies. Together, we will overcome whatever challenges the rebels throw our way.

As we advance into the unknown, know that you carry the hopes and dreams of a nation on your shoulders. The sacrifices we make here will echo through the annals of Grozovian history, a testament to our dedication and love for our homeland.

Soldiers, let our actions speak louder than any words. Let our unity be an unassailable fortress, and let our victory be the resounding answer to those who dare challenge the sovereignty of Grozovia. Forward, with courage in your hearts and the spirit of Grozovia as your guide. Onward, to victory!”

My name is Yehor Kulish, I work in the office of the Ministry of Information. The Minister, he is in critical condition. One of the bombs landed directly on our office, killing many and wounding even more. We are held up in a secure part of the facility, safe for now but running dangerously low on supplies. There are men in the streets with guns, not ours but others – I don’t know who they are. 

I have a wife & two children, please – if you are reading this, send help.
