COPENHAGEN BURNS!
The isle of Sjaelland, on which the capital of Copenhagen is found, was destroyed as the result of a massive fire thought to be started when former Crown Prince Frederik Margrethe took control of the (formerly Royal) Danish Army and attempted to destroy the House of Parliament, which had recently voted to dissolve the monarchaic system following the death of Queen Margrethe II, which effectively destroyed the future of heir apparent Frederik.
Sadly, the government of the Republic of Denmark was effectively destroyed in the blaze, and in the ensuing confusion hundreds of thousands of Danes died, not to mention literally hundreds of various mom-and-pop bakeries. In addition, much of the military infrastructure (esp. communication) was destroyed and as such the military's possible help in stopping the panic and looting is precisely nil. The fire on the island itself is contained because of the physical geography; that is, being surrounded by water. Water, you see, stops fire.
The Copenhagen Airport Internationale was destroyed in the fire, and all diplomats who did not travel by boat from neighbouring countries have sadly died. No funeral is planned in the near future, but a moment of silence is requested in all nations at 2000 GMT, 24/12.
To sum up, all but
3 1 member of parliament were killed*, all party leaders, the Supreme Court, all upper-echelon military staff, most diplomats, et alli. All military units not based in or around Sjaelland Isle are unable to communicate with the now-decimated military commanders, and as such have pretty much rebelled in their respective regions, causing multiple fires throughout Denmark, which as of now are of an indefinable size. All vessels of the Danish Navy who were able to immediately left the fiery inferno of Sjaelland for friendly ports.
A state of martial law has been declared throughout the Republic of Denmark, and it seems anarchy has arisen. The military is unable to regain control, and it is likely that all military bases and ports will be lost within 12 hours. The treasury, which was in Copenhagen, has been lost. However, before it was destroyed, it was revealed that Crown Prince Frederik had ordered its entirety--over DDK6,000,000,000 (~US$910,000,000)--to his summer palace outside of Esbjerg, on the North Sea. It was sent by ship, which was sunk by Royal Navy submarines this morning. For fear of "liberation" by a fellow country, the location of the shipwreck (and thus, the money) will not be revealed.
(added)
[All armories were lost to looters, and both the SPP (Socialist Peoples' Party) and the CPP (Christian Peoples' Party) are said to have recruited followers and seized sizable amounts of weaponry. It appears that a civil war has begun, and all information received is second-hand and unreliable.]
* - Three MP's who were not killed: both MP's from Greenland, and one from Faroe Islands. So, yes, all MP's representing what is normally referred to as Denmark have died. (OOC: It has just come to my attention that Greenland has been liberated by Spain.) IC: All but one MP has died.
