You had every chance to post orders. Don't blame me for your own incompetence.

The Order for its entire history had a clear view against history. For the Order believed that religion was residue from an archaic age of old where humanity was engineered as a slave race to another civilization. For the first time in history, the full story on why religion is a scam has been revealed to the public. While even in Order lands it was viewed skeptically, this remains the official dogma of the Order.
A long, long time ago, there existed a race known as the First Civilization. This race looked exactly the same as humans, but technologically more advanced than any point in human history. They were also immortal, but was countered by their extremely low birthrate. Their population never exceeded over a couple hundred. In order to help them achieve work, they uplifted a race of hominids similar in DNA composition and created them in their image. These were known as humans.
From there, they built highly advanced artifacts known as the Pieces of Eden to control humanity. While each piece had different properties that will not be elaborated on at this time, all had the ability to brainwash humans. The First Civilization used these pieces everyone and force them to worship them as gods. These First Civilization people included Jupiter, Shiva, Yahew, and others. All gods in all religions were in fact members of the First Civilization (Except Xenu. Scientology has been determined to be just a money making scam). For a while, this worked out without a hitch.
However, a human couple broke free from the mind control. Known as Adam and Eve, they stole one of Pieces, the Apple of Eden, and liberated the other humans from their perpetual enslavement. A war then broke out between the million-men army of humans, versus the much more technologically advanced but few hundred First Civilization. The war, however, was cut short by the Great Catastrophe, where a huge solar flare unlike anything every recorded hit Earth directly. Almost the entire First Civilization, along with a good portion of humanity, died off, and the Earth was charred with fire and radiation.
The two sides pledged to bury their hatchet and rebuild as equals. However, it was too late for the First Civilization. The last known member, Minerva, died in present day Rome out of radiation poisoning. Humanity lived due to numbers, but now a designed slave race had to live on their own. All forms of theism, however, not only fulfilled the need of masters but also continued to worship the First Civilization, abliet on free will.
The Order, therefore, finds religion to be a scam. Faith can be rationally explained as mind control, and they consider themselves too enlightened for it. However, as they pledged humanity to develop on their own free will, they do not persecute faith as it is up the people to belive or not. Still, most actual Assassins are therefore secular in nature.

Generals and diplomats alike ringed the table. Placed upon it were maps showing the state of the world - large swaths of it were colored than had been the case the prior year.
"With our loyal trade partners, we will have considerable influence in the Western Pacific, my lord."
Shadow stroked his chin as he took this in, ruby eyes staring at the aged Miles Prower. Once young, the fox was increasingly more wrinkled. It made the ageless Imperator smile with delight that all these fools who once opposed him were growing old and would eventually die. Such an appropriate fate!
"Speaking of which... do we have the results yet, perchance?"
The fox, his yellow fur having dulled over the years, stepped forward and placed the papers on the table for the Imperator to look at. Shadow was swift to seize them and skim, as the fox retained his submissive, bowed position - it was bad conduct to look at the Imperator while speaking with him.
"Yes, sire. While the Equestrians are clearly not of human biology, we were unsure about the Hylians. However, we have discovered they seem to be a product of convergent evolution, and despite their outward similarities, are a very distinct species."
"Splendid. May our alliance last for all time!" The Imperator threw his arms up in glee - it was very unsettling for the usually dark and brooding overlord to be so joyous.
He was quick to return to his usual imposing demeanor.
"And other neighbors?"
One of the generals, adorned from head to toe in badges, spoke, "We are keeping a close eye on them, Imperator. But so far they mean no harm. The Dream Landers are quickly becoming a major power, but their landlocked status and peaceful demeanor - and non-human nature - would seem to make them of less concern."
Shadow nodded... "Very well."
---
He dismissed several of those in attendance, but some remained. The doors were locked extra tight now, as the new subject was discussed. A map of this "Korea" was laid over the table. Various designs for fortifications and military installations were already placed upon it. Thankfully the humans' own bloodthirsty ways had ensured that the northern border was well-fortified.
"These hills are rich in resources... use all the slave labor necessary to tap them. If a few die building the mines, they died an honorable death for the Empire." His finger traced around the raw resource locations his scouts reported. It soon migrated to one of the many cities on the map.
"This city, 'Soul' should be the heart of our operations. It is in ruins and in dire need of repair, but we can beautify it as an example of Mobian culture. Humans are, of course, to be distributed as necessary to mitigate their voting power. Preferably within range of labor camps."
---
Once more, the room was dismissed, until only a polar bear, known only as "Victor," remained.
"As you know, Victor, reports state humans will soon reach the one-fifth margin of our population..."
The bear nodded, having eyes as red as his lord.
"And you know what to do when this happens by now, I trust?" The dark fur of Shadow's muzzle curled into a malicious grin.
"Without question, sire."
"Then you are free to leave. Keep my cities running smoothly, will you?" He motioned with his armored hand... "I've arranged for hospitals and orphanages to do the deeds necessary, on your command."

Who doesn't have a trade agreement?
The Greater Gulf Imperium has accepted the assurance of the Assassin's Order that sending Peacekeeping forces to Syria is unneccessary, but we shall be keeping a close eye on the region. Any instability will be carefully assessed, and we shall attempt to ensure that nobody is harmed in the current territorial dispute. We would like all those who should become involved in this dispute to be aware that we shall not, under any circumstances, tolerate any disorder to spread into the territories of the Gulf Union. We shall ensure the security of our people, and the integrity of our western border, by any means Neccesary.

Damascus, Contested Territory, May 13, 2201
Everyday I trained for this. It all comes down to this. My Hidden Blade is ready for its first blood. Today, I shall become an Ordersman, an Assassin. It is my destiny, my will, my victory.
---
A crowd was forming in front of the Umayyad Mosque. Some important religious figures in the Church of Light were coming here to investigate this holy site to see if it is important to their own church. I was instructed to dispatch specifically the head priest being sent, Spiridon Katsaros. His blood would be spilt to send a message to the Greeks, one of getting off our turf.
It was around noontime, and the congregation had arrived. I was standing in front of the Mosque. Muslims were walking into it for prayer, and I sat down in a bench in patience. I didn't want to blow my cover and risk the mission. Still, these assassinations would be easier if we were not forced to wear only whites while doing it. Granted, concerns over stealth has changed our policy of only wearing the traditional robes during an assassination, but I feel uncomfortable being so obvious.
Anyways, the congregation was splitting up, and Katsaros has split off from the main group. Perfect. I got off the bench, and started walking behind him, pretending to pray. I could not let him notice me before it would become too late for him. I could hear him mumble something in Greek, but I couldn't make out anything. He paused near the Dome of the Clock, and I see no one is near. This, I decided, is when I strike.
Jumping up, I pulled down my right ring finger, exposing the Hidden Blade. In one fell swoop, I stabbed him directly in the throat while grabbing his mouth. Muffling his yell, I pulled out the blade and stabbed him again in the lower head to make sure he was dead. Hearing nothing coming out, I then pulled out the eagle feather and dipped it blood. Even now, we still do this to show we were the one who killed the target. I did not bother hiding the body, but I just simply bolted. My target was dead, and all I needed to do was not get caught.
Thankfully, if anyone alerted any guards, I was gone long before they could had cought me. A fellow Assassin had a car for me, and started to drive me down to the local hideout. But it wasn't any old Assassin, but my girlfriend, Fariha Abdulrashid. She was the one who got me invited into the Order in the first place. She smiled and asked to see the feather, which I produced to her. While she didn't have the authority to "confirm" my kill, she knew what the blood-stained feather meant.
She started to beam with joy, and I knew would had crushed me with one of her hugs if she wasn't driving. That woman could use those to kill people if she wanted to. Speaking of which, I didn't feel the same joy for the kill. Distipe what I said earlier, all mysterious and bold, it just didn't feel right. I don't know if I feel remorse, or if the killing was too easy, or something else. The whole thing didn't feel natural, and not in a good way. However, I was both an Assassin and an assassin now, no matter how I looked at it."

General Warfield looked at the map. So far, the USA's control over the hellish wasteland was steadily working its way east, towards the all-important capital. "Seems like our military presence is hardly relevant with the FEV-Curling strain." Warfield rumbled.
"It does seem like the scientists have solved our mutant resistance problem, sir." Colonel Johnson replied.
"You have to wonder what the point of our honed military is under these conditions." Warfield mused.
"I almost wonder myself, sir. But what really concerns me is what has become of the rest of the world. As you know, according to our last reports, entire continents sank beneath the seas during the Great War." Johnson stated. "The North American continent, the USA, may be the last habitable point on earth."
"We'll cross that bridge when we come to it, son. Until we reclaim what is rightfully ours, we have no need to try and cross the seas."
First Lieutenant Alexa Fields lead the squad through the recently cleared city of Las Vegas. Corpses of many disgusting mutants lined the curiously repaired streets, all eliminated by the previous aerial saturation of the region with FEV-Curling. Alexa's mission, and that of her squad, was to sweep the city to make sure everything was dead. Between herself with her Turbo Plasma Rifle & APAMKII, and her squad of five with APAMKI, an Avenger Minigun, two Gauss Rifles, a Missile Launcher, & a Laser Rifle, she was pretty sure her squad could handle anything that might have survived. Alexa searched the ruins of the city, finding mountains of corpses. Men, Women, children, scorpions, everything was dead. "This is Firefox. Target zone is clear." Alexa reported dutifully.

Hanna Antilles walks into her cabinet meeting room to discuss the current affairs of the Republic as well as discussions with her neighbors. "Gentlemen" Hanna said as she takes her seat "It's time to discuss our current status. As you know, we've been expanding quite readily in Indochina". Hanna then turns to her Secretary of State Johnson "And we've made some trade deals, am I correct?". Johnson then acknowledges Hanna's question "Yes, we've been able to trade with a nation with a culture similar to our own in the Middle East as well as a peaceful nation known as the The Dream Landers. We were only limited to two trade routes and they were the only ones we could get a trade deal". Hanna, inquisitively looks at Mr. Johnson and asks "What about the Empire of the Rising Quill?". The entire room fell silent, Secretary of State Johnson soon broke the silence "There Empire was forged from the backs of human labor with their leader Shadow forcing eugenics and forced sterilization on the entire population of Japan to make the entire nation a majority of... ...Furries. They call themselves, Mobians". Hanna, doing her best to not invoke a Godwynn's Law in the meeting inquires more about the Empire of the Rising Quill. Secretary of State Johnson continues on to state that they've been trading extensively with non-Human nations to gain a trade powerhouse in the Pacific. Colonel Philip Hoshi interjects with his advice "Our diplomacy with the Empire of the Rising Quill should be done with prudence and caution. We Coruscantis have shown tolerance towards non-Humans off this world. With what we've heard about the Empire of the Rising Quill and their apparent open discrimination and persecution towards, I can only stress that we exercise prudence and caution with them". Hanna then asks the question about the Tri Kingdoms, the Colonel remarks "Odds are, their Elven appearance would be an advantage towards them". Hanna then turns to Johnson once again and remarks about the Equestrians, Johnson adjusted his glasses and made his statements about the Equestrians "We've been starting to keep an eye on them once they've started to move into the Philippines".
Hanna looks at the maps that were taken from the orbiting Winterhold, a Ragnarok Class Super Battleship, and takes note of the Enclave. "What do we know about these people" Hanna asks as she points at the West Coast of the United States. Johnson did the best he could to explain who the Enclave are "They mostly keep to themselves, with the goal of rebuilding the United States". The Secretary of State took a brief pause for a moment and continues "They also have a very low tolerance towards mutants". After hearing that line, the gears in Hanna's brain began to churn as she makes a prediction "Gentlemen, This may or may not happen. But some day, if the Enclave and the Empire of the Rising Quill do meet face to face. I would not be surprised if the Enclave would drop an FEV bomb onto the Rising Quill's homeland. That is if the Brotherhood of Steel are not locked into combat against the Enclave". The colonel asked Hanna what made her thought of that prediction, to which Hanna responds "Pit a humanocentric nation like the Enclave against a Mobianocentric nation in a ring, odds are they will fight to the death". Hanna's secretary, Tifa Lockhart interjects with her own addition "The Enclave would not just drop an FEV bomb on the Empire of the Rising Quill, but also onto the Tri Kingdoms because of their Elven appearance". Before declaring the meeting to be ajurned, she states "I hope we don't have to see the Enclave Powderkeg explode in the Pacific in our lifetime".
