Order Returns To Google Earth

In the aftermath of the first wave of nuclear attacks, Alpha an Omega Alliance has managed to restore world order and regain most territories, with a little help from thier friends. The compulsive gambling insurgents of New Alliance claimed responsibility for most of the attacks, amidst wails of disappointment that no-one followed the revolution they spent all thier money to initiate.

"Looks like NAR used a new way to bring AO down. A little slot machine in the casino rolled the dice and decided to start the apocalypse and change the whole world" commented AO Lt.Col. Schlunz.

"Noone wanted to go against AO becasue of their NAPs. So we had to go it alone. We nuked cities and thus left the opportunity open for other alliancs to take the cities and start making money themselves...instead they all chickened out and left AO to continue on their way" replied a New Alliance spokesman before spitting violently at the ground.

While A&O was humbled by the hard blow, 32 hours later the revolution was declared over, and A&O reclaimed the top spot. A notable action is the double nuking of a few cities, including the resource city of Cape Town in South Africa, where commerce came to a halt for almost 48 hours resulting in a diamond rationing scheme to be introduced for the wives of A&O officers until steady supply could be re-established. The cotton fields of Atlanta, USA are still enjoying tax free status, while basking in the radioactive warmth of thier new line of glow it the dark eveningwear and partying like its the appocalypse. Almost 50 armies wait on the border for the fallout to clear in about 10 hours, keen to restore order and resume taxation, in order to raise the revenue required to pay for A&O's victory celebrations.

New Alliance, although disheartened, has made a strong symbolic statement in the attack, demonstrating that the ruling class is not bulletproof. Rumours of a rise in NA sympathisers have many worried about the outcome of the next wave of attacks. There is concern that a culture of excessive Non Agression Pacts is oppressing the fighting class, but fortunately thier inability to work diplomatically stops them from combining thier forces effectively in an environment of mistrust and paranioa.
