The Space Age Returns
The Vandread Empire has managed to put satellites into orbit for the first time since the Cataclysm. The world is benefitting from the satellites culturally, scientifically and economically.
Angola Declares Soviet Union; Kongo Declares Great Patriotic War
The Angolan Premier addressed crowds in occupied Kinshasa.
“The time has come to end the feud with our Communist brethren. Already, the state capitalists that oppressed the Congolese working class are fleeing further and further into this great state’s countryside, into YOUR countryside. As we work with our Zambian comrades to destroy this degenerated workers’ state, I feel it is important that we lay the foundations of our united, postwar future.
We, the Angolan People’s Republic, hereby pardon all officials and soldiers of the Marxist Democratic Republic of the Kongo who defect to the Republic. This general amnesty does not extend to the MDRK’s Premier or his senior party officials, for they are the reason this war has started in the first place, and must face justice.
The general amnesty agreed upon by the Angolan Communist Party aside, I bring you exciting news: we will honor Comrade Lenin’s memory by resurrecting the society he envisioned in name as well as practice. Effective immediately, the Angolan People’s Republic shall henceforth be the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. If the capitalists can be fixated on being the second or third or fourth Rome and all its oppression and decadence, we communists are free to claim the mantle of workers’ revolution by restoring the state to whom we have all looked upon with nostalgia.”
From a classified location, the Kongolese Premier declared that Kongo had entered its “Great Patriotic War” and would fight to the end to keep Comrade Stalin’s vision of communism alive. The revisionism of abolishing the execution of the workers’ enemies and allowing small-scale capitalism, the Premier argued, simply cannot be allowed to stand.
The Premier proceeded to circulate a video of him personally executing an Angolan officer captured during the retreat from Kinshasa.
The Assimilation of Ontario

One China, Two Kingdoms
King Qiaozhi of the Kingdom of China spoke to applause as he mentioned the dual developments of a defense pact with the High Kingdom and a stunning victory over Guangdong. The Chinese autocracy, Qiaozhi explained, had successfully crushed both the capitalist merchant republic of Shanghai and the socialist state of Guangdong, further proving the supremacy of a noble sovereign ruling with the Mandate of Heaven.
Holding up a copy of the treaty with the High Kingdom, he stated that with that alliance, all of historical China was finally ruled in harmony. The Kingdom of China and its ally Korea ruled the Eastern portion, while the High Kingdom and its client of Myanmar controlled the Western portion. Regardless, the relations between the two kingdoms meant all China was effectively unified under a system of peace and prosperity at last.
Reportedly someone asked, “what about Taiwan?” and was promptly dragged from the room.
