Who else knew that a life-changing global event, one that hasn't been seen in many decades, also had its own negative repercussions in the role play game we're playing? The coronavirus, COVID-19, whatever, for me it's still Xi'Anguese virus pandemic, has taken a negative impression in many people's view of Xi'Ang as a massive global superpower that exists for the sake of industrial espionage. Such dissatisfaction for the pandemic and Xi'Ang's lack of transparency have led to people protesting against the country, even though it's technically impossible because the world is still stuck in an inescapable dictatorship, and with all events going virtual, it feels like our homes have become another version of George Orwell's 1984.

The pandemic has really shaken off my nerves, and these nerves have been transposed to my countries. Before the pandemic, I witnesses a growing hate towards the Chinese regime, and that manifested into a secret anti-Xi'Ang party that existed in Nouvelle Baie. Knowing that story would be unreal, I moved the anti-PRX feelings to Kaehia, where it's more safe. Under these circumstances, Kaehia started recognizing Deiwan as the real Xi'Ang and left the Transtransalic Pact. This was boosted after a bunch of issues with Kaehia that were neither here nor there, that led to a stealth election.

Other than that, let's begin.
