IN THE NEWS: JANUARY-JUNE 1913
Persepolis News - January 7th
The USEA has completely fragmented into civil war!
Nationalists in Vietnam, Indonesia, and Siam have declared independence from the USEA. Many of the civilian men in each region have joined their national insurgent militias, in addition to ethnically-fraternal troops from the USEA army, into the new armies of the new states. The new governments of Saigon, Jakarta, and Bangkok are made up of coalitions of parties from the entire length of the political spectrum - including the small amount of communists and fascists - but dominated by the Pacifist Democrats.
Meanwhile, revolt and mutiny spread into northern India, engulfing Delhi completely. Insurgent forces and the masses have slaughtered the Seasian Military Council, decapitating the military regime.

Half of the Central Asian army, long sympathizing with the underground anti-Russian parties, has joined the revolt.

Party campaigns have turned ugly when two youth paramilitary groups, one supporting the Communists and the other supporting the Fascists, engaged in a shoot-out in the middle of the capital. 6 innocent bystanders were killed in the street fight, 20 were injured. Several of the rivals were also killed, and the surviving leaders of the groups were immediately arrested.
For the past several months, both extremist parties have been engaged in a mud-slinging campaign, in addition to numerous outbreaks of violence. Two months after the declaration of independence, 20 Spaniards living in the Spanish Quarter of the capital were ruthlessly killed: the reason - suspicion of Spaniards as Communists; alleged culprits: a group of young Italian Fascists. In response, Communist groups burned alive 20 Italians living near the Spanish border, "on charges of treason and conspiracy with the Italian Government against Gibraltar".

Chinese troops have crossed into the USEA, expecting to be welcomed as liberators. Instead, the people have actively begun the fight against the Chinese, whom they regard as "a new USEA".
A Burmese Empire has been declared, its government a fascist dictatorship. Though the Burmese and the democrats of the rest of the former USEA are opposites in governing style, they have agreed to ally to fight the Chinese invaders if they refuse their request to withdraw.
Many Chinese troops have already lost their lives to the militiamen of the USEA's successor states.
