Tourism Collapse Sparks Political and Economic Turmoil
Panata, Krauanagaz— As Southern Cordilia reels from twin catastrophes, the economic shockwaves are beginning to crystallize across the region.

A confidential memo leaked Thursday from the Office of Emergency Coordination (OEC) paints a grim picture: over 180,000 residents remain without permanent shelter, and only 67% of promised food aid shipments have reached their intended destinations. “We are doing triage with half a skeleton crew,” the report states, citing ongoing staff shortages, equipment loss, and what one unnamed official described as “policy paralysis at the highest level.”
