Air defenses are raised all over Rhayna, preparing for the Ryccian Ultimatum as civilians are told to refuge underground. Prytanis Boutros Georgiou made a statement for all the nation that was broadcasted to all Rhaynan TV channels: "Today may mark the end. What the Junta will never understand is that, after they fall, the world will continue without them. They try in vain to end the world with them, but we are proud Pacificans, Cordilians and Rhaynans, and we will not bow after terrorists. They can destroy everything in their path, but in the end, they are the ones who lose, for we will survive while they will fall by themselves.

Today, Rhayna will not give up."

No statements were made about the retirement of forces and the blockade from Ryccian territory.

Peonic Imperial Address

"My fellow statesmen of Huawan, I address you now in these dark and trying times of our history. It was a week ago that the heinous October Massacres of Hai Men was a reality, and my heart bleeds for the thousands of lives lost. Families separated, relationships destroyed, generations dead in excruciating pain.

In these solemn days of crisis, it has come to my understanding of the role of our Imperial Government, to act as servitude to the People’s aspirations, to be the extension of the rules and edicts voted in. To protect our statesmen and preserve the Commonwealth and her interests. But first and foremost, to present swift justice to crimes.

And indeed, WAR is the greatest criminal act known to our species. Where murder, robbery, kidnapping and racketeering, are made normal, are made, unremarkable. To a scale impossible to imagine.

My fellow statesmen, I plead you to not seek revenge or vengeance, for they are bitter, for they only spur further vengeance that continues to grow hate in our society, for they will turn out souls to shadows that linger in sorrow and bitterness. Huawan is to never stoop to the levels of her enemies, and must always be a beacon of charity, hope and humanity’s goodwill.

Thus I say to you. That our enemies are willing to take the beasts of war that consumes our world, and sharpen it’s claws. They must be stopped, at any and all costs.

In the name of the Peocracy, in the name of the Peonic Commonwealth, in the name of Huawan and her sisters.

Let us unite in strength and cool. For our foes, may their judgement be swift."

In a hastily-done address and with faint gunshots heard in the background, the leader of the junta has declared the Ryccian people “traitors who have abandoned our country and dishonored our forefathers”. He then pressed a button, its purpose unknown.

Several missiles have been launched from silos all across Ryccia. Their targets appear to be Ryccian cities.
