Economic Collapse Looms: Endralon's Banking Ban Spurs Crisis


Endralon, once a thriving and stable nation, now finds itself on the brink of an economic catastrophe, as the recent bans imposed by the late High King Muskar VII have sent shockwaves through the nation's financial system, triggering a rapid and devastating collapse.

High King Muskar VII's edict to ban fractional reserve banking and interest rates, purportedly for religious reasons, was met with initial confusion and skepticism within the financial sector. While the intentions behind these bans may have been well-meaning, the unintended consequences have proven catastrophic.

Fractional reserve banking, the lifeblood of any modern economy, allows banks to lend out a portion of the deposits they hold, thereby stimulating economic growth through loans to businesses and individuals. With the ban in place, liquidity in the banking system has dried up, causing credit to become scarce. As a result, businesses have been unable to secure the necessary financing for their operations, leading to layoffs, reduced production, and a stagnating economy.

The ban on interest rates has further compounded the crisis. Without the ability to charge interest on loans, banks have little incentive to lend money, resulting in a severe credit crunch. This has made it nearly impossible for individuals to obtain loans for homes, cars, or education, stifling consumer spending and undermining economic growth.

The combined impact of these bans has been devastating. Unemployment has surged to unprecedented levels, and businesses have shuttered their doors due to a lack of capital. The stock market has plummeted, erasing the savings of countless investors and retirees. Inflation, driven by a collapsing currency, has left the cost of basic goods and services soaring, further burdening the already suffering population.

Amid this economic freefall, protests have erupted across the country, with citizens expressing their frustration and anger at the government's policies. Food riots have accompanied these protests, as soaring prices and scarcity have made it increasingly difficult for families to put food on the table.

Recognizing the gravity of the situation, the Regency Council has called for calm and restraint, emphasizing the need for unity in these trying times. The Council has expressed its commitment to finding solutions to the economic crisis, but the path to recovery remains uncertain.

As Endralon grapples with its worst economic crisis in recent memory, the people of this once-prosperous nation find themselves in a state of uncertainty and turmoil. The hope now rests on the ability of the Regency Council to navigate the treacherous waters of economic collapse and steer the nation toward stability and recovery.

Endralon's Unrest: Voices from the Frontlines

By Mark Szabó, Independent Journalist

As Endralon grapples with a tumultuous period following the sudden demise of High King Muskar VII, a cacophony of voices rises from the streets. Protests, sparked initially by the economic crisis precipitated by the controversial financial policies of the late High King, have now intensified into a chaotic symphony of dissent. Amidst the chorus of anger, frustration, and despair, we ventured into the heart of the unrest to listen to those on the frontlines.

The Spiraling Economic Crisis


Endralon's economic turmoil is at the epicenter of the nation's unrest, a crisis that has exacerbated existing fault lines and laid bare the vulnerabilities of its economic system. High King Muskar VII's decision to ban fractional reserve banking and interest rates, ostensibly rooted in his devout adherence to Hosian doctrine, has proved to be a double-edged sword, plunging the nation into chaos.

Job Losses and Business Closures: The economic downturn has resulted in a staggering loss of jobs. Factories, once the lifeblood of Endralon's industrial sector, now stand shuttered, their chimneys silent. Thousands of workers have been left unemployed, their livelihoods evaporating like mist in the morning sun. Among them is Zoltán Nagy, a 42-year-old factory worker and father of two. "I've spent my entire life in that factory," he lamented, his face etched with despair. "Now, there's nothing left."

Soaring Prices and Shrinking Pockets: Meanwhile, the cost of living has soared, leaving many families struggling to make ends meet. Inflation, driven by supply chain disruptions and reduced consumer spending, has sent prices for essential goods skyrocketing. Basic necessities like food, housing, and fuel have become increasingly unaffordable for ordinary citizens, leading to growing resentment. Ewa Nowak, a 35-year-old mother of three, explained, "We used to manage our expenses, but now, we're drowning in bills. I don't know how we'll survive."

The Paralyzed Economy: The economic paralysis extends beyond job losses and inflation. Investment has dwindled as uncertainty looms large, exacerbating the nation's woes. Many businesses, unable to secure financing or adapt to the new economic environment, have faced bankruptcy. The vibrancy of Endralon's once-thriving entrepreneurial spirit has been replaced by a cloud of uncertainty and despair.

The High King's Economic Vision: The economic policies of High King Muskar VII, influenced by his devout faith, were hailed by some as a return to Hosian values. However, the stark reality on the ground tells a different story. Critics argue that the abrupt ban on fractional reserve banking and interest rates, while motivated by religious principles, lacked a pragmatic understanding of economic systems and dynamics. The consequences, they argue, were dire, as the nation grapples with the devastating consequences.

Food Riots and Desperation

Image
Amidst the escalating turmoil in Endralon, a dire consequence of the economic crisis has come to the forefront: food riots and widespread desperation among the population. As the cost of living continues to soar and unemployment remains rampant, the ability of many citizens to put food on their tables has become an agonizing challenge.

Empty Stomachs and Angry Masses: The images of empty shelves in supermarkets and long queues outside food distribution centers have become emblematic of the growing desperation. Hunger is a powerful motivator, driving people to the brink of desperation. In towns and cities across Endralon, scenes of looted stores and violent clashes between citizens and security forces have unfolded with alarming frequency. "We can't feed our families. We can't survive like this," said Tamás Kovács, a 29-year-old protester. "The government has abandoned us."

Hoarding and Price Gouging: The scarcity of basic food items has led to rampant hoarding by those who can afford it, while prices for essentials have soared to exorbitant levels. Families are often forced to choose between purchasing groceries or paying for other necessities, such as rent or medical bills. This stark choice has left many grappling with the harsh realities of survival. Katarzyna Nowak, a mother of four, shared her heart-wrenching experience. "I never thought I'd have to choose between feeding my children and keeping a roof over our heads," she said, her eyes filled with tears.

Protests and Clashes: The desperation born of hunger has spilled onto the streets. Protests against the government's handling of the economic crisis have escalated into clashes between demonstrators and security forces. Tear gas, rubber bullets, and arrests have become commonplace, as both sides grapple with the mounting tension. The government's call for calm has often fallen on deaf ears as the people's anger simmers.

Community Initiatives: In some areas, communities have rallied together to provide mutual support. Neighborhood food banks and collective efforts to secure food supplies have emerged as citizens seek to help one another in these trying times. Such initiatives, while heartening, remain limited in scope and scale, unable to fully alleviate the hunger that afflicts many.

The Call for Action: As the nation grapples with the intersection of economic collapse, protests, and food riots, the Regency Council has been thrust into the center of the storm. Their task is not only to stabilize the economy but also to address the immediate and pressing needs of the people. Urgent calls for food aid, price controls, and measures to combat hoarding have reverberated through the streets. The cries for justice and an end to hunger have become a rallying point for the disaffected.

The food riots and desperation witnessed in Endralon are a stark reminder of the human toll of economic mismanagement. As the nation seeks to find its footing amidst chaos, the resilience of its people and the government's ability to respond swiftly and effectively will define whether it can emerge from this dark chapter stronger and more united or face further unrest and despair.

The Republican Radicals

Amid the broader anti-regency protests, a more radical movement has begun to gain momentum. Republican activists, who have long pushed for the abolition of the monarchy, are seizing this moment to demand a complete overhaul of Endralon's governance.

András Kovács, a prominent republican leader, was candid about his goals. "The monarchy has failed us," he declared. "It's time for a democratic republic where the people have a say in how their country is run. We won't settle for anything less."

While their demands may seem radical, the republican movement has tapped into the growing disillusionment with the monarchy, especially among the younger generation. Their message resonates with those who view the monarchy as an impediment to progress.

The Regency Council's Struggle for Control

Image
Inside the hallowed halls of the Endralon's Regency Council, the air is thick with tension and the weight of responsibility. This unelected body, thrust into power following the sudden demise of King Muskar VII, is grappling with a herculean task - stabilizing a nation teetering on the brink of chaos. At the heart of their struggle is not only the daunting economic crisis but also the persistent challenge posed by dissidents who vehemently oppose the monarchy's grip on power.

High Prince Emil Kristóf Syldavia, the proclaimed Governor of Endralon and the head of the Regency Council, finds himself at the epicenter of this storm. As he attempts to steer the nation towards calmer waters, he acknowledges the uphill battle: "Our responsibility is to restore order and ensure the well-being of our citizens. The challenges we face are monumental, and we must confront them with unwavering resolve."

However, the path to restoring order is fraught with obstacles, and the Regency Council is far from a unified front. Princess Isabella Kádár, a prominent member of the council, has been a vocal critic of the monarchy's dominance in Endralon's politics. She voices her concerns with fervor: "The monarchy's stranglehold on our nation's resources and decision-making has left us vulnerable. It's time for a change, for a more inclusive and democratic future."

Prince Viktor Jankovic, another council member, holds a more cautious stance: "We must tread carefully. Dissent is a part of a healthy democracy, but we cannot afford to let it escalate into violence. Our priority should be to address the immediate needs of our citizens."

Yet, the Regency Council's efforts to address the economic crisis and quell dissent have been met with mixed results. While some view the recent food aid initiatives as a step in the right direction, many remain skeptical about the ability of the council to bring about lasting change. Anna Kovacs, a protester at one of the recent demonstrations, expresses her doubts: "We've heard promises before, but our situation keeps worsening. We need more than words; we need action."

The ongoing struggles with dissidents within Endralon, who demand greater political representation and a shift away from the monarchy's influence, pose a significant challenge to the council's authority. Their demands echo on the streets and reverberate within the council chambers. The Regency Council faces the precarious task of balancing stability and reform, maintaining order while acknowledging the need for change.

Endralon's Foreign Reserves Depleted as Economic Crisis Intensifies


August 5363

As Endralon's economic crisis deepens, concerns are growing over the nation's dwindling foreign reserves. The once-healthy reserves, which are crucial for stabilizing the economy, are now perilously close to depletion. The country's inflation rate continues to soar, and experts warn that this combination of factors could push Endralon into a severe financial crisis.


The Endralonese government has been grappling with a mounting economic crisis that began following the controversial policy decisions made after the passing of His Apostolic Majesty, Muskar VII. The bans on fractional reserve banking and interest rates, enacted for religious reasons, have come under intense scrutiny as the economy has spiraled further into chaos. One of the most alarming consequences of these policies is the rapid depletion of the nation's foreign reserves. These reserves, which are typically used to stabilize the national currency, pay for essential imports, and service foreign debt, have dwindled at an alarming rate. Economists estimate that at the current pace, Endralon could run out of foreign reserves within months.


The economic woes facing Endralon are not limited to the depletion of foreign reserves. The country is grappling with skyrocketing inflation that shows no signs of abating. Basic goods and services have become increasingly unaffordable for the average citizen, leading to a decline in living standards and widespread discontent. The combination of economic mismanagement, the ban on interest, and the reluctance to adopt more conventional economic policies has contributed to the hyperinflationary spiral. The cost of living has risen to unprecedented levels, and many Endralonese citizens find it increasingly challenging to meet their basic needs.


Protests and civil unrest have become a common sight in cities across Endralon as citizens express their frustration and demand change. While the government, led by the Regency Council, has attempted to address the situation, internal divisions and political infighting have hindered efforts to implement effective economic reforms. Economists, opposition leaders, and civil society groups have called for a swift response to the crisis. Many are urging the government to reconsider its policies and seek international assistance to stabilize the economy and replenish the foreign reserves.

Statement from High Prince Tibor Sydavia, Finance Minister of Endralon

My fellow Endralonese,

Today, I stand before you amidst a challenging period in our nation's history. The economic crisis that has gripped our beloved Endralon has undoubtedly tested our resilience and unity. I understand the concerns and anxieties that many of you are facing as you grapple with rising prices and economic uncertainty.

Rest assured, the Regency Council, guided by our unwavering faith in the Almighty and our commitment to the strength of our nation, is taking all necessary steps to address this crisis head-on. We are acutely aware of the hardships that have befallen our citizens, and we share in your determination to overcome these trying times.

The Almighty has always been our guiding light, and it is through His grace that we find the strength to confront adversity. We believe that His divine wisdom will illuminate our path forward, guiding us toward the solutions we need to restore stability to our great nation.

National Strength is a cornerstone of our identity as Endralonese. It is through unity and resolve that we have overcome challenges in the past, and it is through these principles that we will emerge from this crisis stronger than ever before. The spirit of our people, their dedication to our values, and their unwavering support for our nation will see us through these difficult days.

The Regency Council is committed to maintaining order and ensuring that essential services continue to function. We are working tirelessly to explore all possible avenues to stabilize our economy and replenish our foreign reserves. Restoring economic stability is not a task that can be accomplished overnight, but with the Almighty's guidance and the unity of our nation, we will prevail.

We urge you, our fellow citizens, to remain steadfast in your faith and your commitment to the principles that define us as Endralonese. Together, we shall overcome this trial, emerging as a stronger, more resilient nation, guided by our unwavering belief in the Almighty and our unbreakable National Strength.

May the Almighty bless Endralon, and may His light shine upon us in our time of need.


In a time of unprecedented economic turmoil, the citizens of Endralon had hoped for a statement from their Finance Minister that would offer concrete solutions and inspire confidence in their government. Instead, what they received was a vague and somewhat hollow address that relied heavily on faith and unity, but offered little in the way of substantive plans.

Finance Minister High Prince Tibor Sydavia's statement, delivered on September 5363, missed the mark in addressing the urgent economic crisis that has engulfed the nation. While it is understandable that invoking the role of faith and the Almighty is a significant aspect of Endralonese culture, relying solely on these elements to resolve a complex economic crisis is inadequate and, frankly, naive.

One of the glaring omissions in the Finance Minister's statement is a concrete plan to stabilize the plummeting economy. While he mentioned that the Regency Council is exploring all possible avenues, he failed to provide any specific strategies or policies that will be implemented to address issues such as hyperinflation, dwindling foreign reserves, and widespread unemployment. This lack of transparency leaves the public in the dark about how their government plans to navigate these treacherous waters.

Regency Council Invites Military Leadership to Ensure Stability Amidst Unrest



In a significant and unprecedented move, the Regency Council of Endralon, led by His Excellency, Kormányzó, High Prince Emil Kristóf Syldavia, has extended an invitation to the military's distinguished Királyi Tábornagy (Royal Marshal) Frenec Deránk to establish a National Security Council. The decision comes in response to mounting internal challenges and escalating unrest within the nation.

The turmoil within Endralon has deepened over recent months, with dissidents and radicals intensifying their efforts to undermine the peace and stability that has long characterized the nation. Their actions have led to disorder and chaos on the streets, posing a direct threat to the cherished way of life Endralon's citizens hold dear.

Critically, these internal disruptors have systematically sabotaged the visionary policies of the late King, Muskar VII. The consequences of their actions have placed a heavy burden on the shoulders of the good and loyal people of Endralon, who must now grapple with the aftermath of this subversion.

The Regency Council, entrusted with safeguarding the stability of the Apostolic High Kingdom's succession, faces an increasingly complex and challenging task. The relentless efforts of these dissidents and radicals have made it ever more difficult to fulfill this solemn responsibility.

In response to the ongoing strife and the looming specter of economic turmoil, the Regency Council has called upon Királyi Tábornagy Frenec Deránk to establish a National Security Council. The council's primary objective will be to support the governance of the nation, with a sharp focus on the restoration of peace, stability, and good order within the state.

Marshal Deránk, a highly esteemed member of Endralon's Armed Forces, has been chosen to lead this critical mission. His unparalleled experience, unwavering dedication, and profound commitment to the nation's foundational principles make him the ideal candidate to guide this crucial initiative.

While Endralon faces one of the most challenging periods in its recent history, the Regency Council calls upon its citizens to find strength in unity and resilience. Drawing inspiration from the core values that have long defined the nation, the people of Endralon, under the guidance of the Almighty, will undoubtedly overcome these trials and emerge even stronger.

As the National Security Council takes its first steps towards restoring peace and order, the people of Endralon look ahead with a renewed sense of determination, hopeful for the return of the tranquility and prosperity they hold dear.

Below follows the proclamation

Issued by Order of the Regency Council Communications Department,

His Excellency, Kormányzó, High Prince Emil Kristóf Syldavia


To the good and loyal people of Endralon,

In these tumultuous times, we address you with a heavy heart but a determined spirit, for it is our duty to ensure the safety, prosperity, and unity of our beloved Endralon. Our great nation has faced internal challenges that threaten the very fabric of our society, and it is to you, the pillars of our community, that we turn.

Regrettably, we have seen the rise of dissidents and radicals who seek to disrupt the peace and stability that we hold dear. Their actions have plunged our streets into disorder and chaos, undermining the peace and harmony that have long been the hallmarks of our society. These internal wreckers have ruthlessly sabotaged the visionary policies of our late King, Muskar VII, burdening you, the good and loyal people of this nation, with the consequences of their actions.

It is our sacred duty as the Regency Council to ensure the stability of the succession of the Apostolic High King, and yet, the relentless efforts of these dissidents and radicals have made this highest of responsibilities increasingly challenging to fulfill.

In light of the ongoing strife and economic turmoil that threatens our great nation, the Regency Council has made the difficult but necessary decision to invite Királyi Tábornagy (Royal Marshal) Frenec Deránk to establish a National Security Council. This council will work diligently to assist in the governance of our nation, focusing on the restoration of peace, stability, and good order within our state.

Marshal Deránk, one of the most esteemed members of our Armed Forces, will lead this council and work tirelessly to safeguard the well-being of our citizens. His experience, dedication, and unwavering commitment to the principles that define our nation make him the ideal leader for this critical mission.

We recognize that these are trying times, and the challenges we face may seem insurmountable. However, let us draw strength from the unity and resilience that have always defined our great nation. Together, with the guidance of Almighty, we shall overcome these trials and emerge stronger than ever before.

By order of the Regency Council

Military Gears Up for Expanded Governance Role Amidst Unrest in Hugamest

By Sarah Kovács, Senior Correspondent

Hugamest, July 5365 - The atmosphere in Hugamest remains tense as the military takes substantial steps towards assuming an expanded governance role, following an invitation from the Regency Council. While Királyi Tábornagy (Royal Marshal) Frenec Deránk has not yet officially taken the reins of the National Security Council, his presence in meetings with senior members of the council and government is a clear signal of the military's impending involvement. The visible surge in military presence across major cities is emblematic of these unfolding changes, as the authorities seek to suppress ongoing protests that have persisted in the face of these developments.

Marshal Deránk's looming transition to the head of the National Security Council has raised many questions and sparked significant discussions among Endralon's citizenry. While he has not yet formally assumed his role, his presence in high-level meetings with the Regency Council and government officials sends a powerful message about the military's commitment to maintaining order and stability.

These developments come at a crucial time for Endralon, which has been grappling with mounting unrest and economic turmoil since the passing of King Muskar VII. The Regency Council, responsible for managing this period of transition, faces a daunting task as it works to restore calm and prosperity to the nation.

In recent weeks, the military's presence on the streets of Hugamest and other major cities has become increasingly noticeable. Troop deployments and security measures are being put in place to ensure public safety and suppress the protests that have continued despite the invitation to the military. While these measures have been met with mixed reactions from the populace, they underscore the government's determination to maintain control and establish a semblance of order amidst the ongoing unrest.

The protests, led by a diverse array of groups, including dissidents, republicans, and disaffected citizens, are a reflection of the deep-seated grievances that have festered in the nation. Many protesters decry the influence of the monarchy, specifically Muskar VII's Hosnian economic policies, which they blame for the country's economic troubles. Others are demanding a shift towards a republican form of governance, advocating for a more liberal political landscape.

As tensions continue to simmer, the looming transition of power to the military and the suppression of protests have left Endralon at a crossroads. The decisions made in the coming weeks and months will undoubtedly shape the nation's future, determining whether it can overcome its current challenges and emerge stronger.

Conclusion of the 1st ZNP Executive Council meeting on party program

Image

Sjevobala - The first round of negotiations on the political manifesto, the so called Blue book, concluded Monday with significant progress. On the roster were workers' rights, labor and agriculture. Despite the broad spectrum of political ideologies sitting at the same table, Ban Heđever stated that the meeting was very productive and the first chapter of the manifesto has been agreed on. Despite initial rumors that the five representatives of ZBOR raised an issue surrounding the party's stance on labor unions, Ban Heđever and labor and industry secretary Hasanagić denied any issue during the negotiations.

While the Blue Book is still in the works, the ZNP Savjet has released some of the key points of the new manifesto.
  • Financial support for all agricultural collectives and farms which are based in Endralon, regardless if they trade internationally or nationally
  • Stricter regulation on use of chemicals in farming, including the ban on GMO crops with an exception for the science sector
  • National base framework on the regulation of fishing, hunting and herding animals, with further power to set stricter regulations on the local level
  • Introduction of a flat corporate tax at 15%
  • Legalization and regulation of labor unions through a national labor union council which will advise the government on labor issues
  • Introduction of a national minimum wage

The next round of negotiations is scheduled for the weekend where further economic policies are expected to be agreed on. Considering the success of the first round of negotiations, the Savjet finance secretary, Josip Okoly, has expressed optimism about the next round. Further stating that progress on the party's political manifesto not only benefits the ZNP but Zergon and west Endralon as a whole by ensuring there is a strong local voice for the three western counties.

Following the successful conclusion of the meeting on labor and agriculture, the ZNP has already issued a six-point list of demands to the National Security Council which aims to put in place policies which are most severely needed to start the modernization of Endralon's agricultural sector. The Agrarian Advance Act has already been tabled and is expected to be voted on next month.

Rally in Zaošuma in expectation of ZNP victory in Zergon

Image

Zaošuma - On Sunday the ZNP Executive Council and ZBOR organized a joint rally in Zaošuma in expectation of the upcoming National Security Council election next month. The rally was held on the outskirts of Zaošuma, in the locality of Kurjevo, and it has been reported that 150,000 people were present during the two-day event. The rally featured both entertainment as well as political speeches and forums. While many enjoyed the live music, food and traditional dance, one event stood out among the many - that was the closing speech of ban Matija Heđever.

Ban Heđever signaled that a new era of Endralon is on the horizon. Zbor Narodne Pravde is the only force which is not afraid to run concurrent to the repressive military government of the Non Aligned League. Despite being a primarily Dalic force, ZNP has reached out to many grassroots movements across Endralon in order to maximize the chance of entering the National Security Council. This is why ZNP will be running in all five counties with mixed lists of both party members and coalitioning allies. Once in Hugamest, the ZNP will represent a strong and unified opposition to the military regime, of course, under the protection of the brave fighters of ZBOR. The party will fight for minority rights, a federal and democratic Endralon which recognizes the two predominant ethnicities in the country, as well as modernising the Endralonian economy, raising the standard of living and ensuring there are sufficient mechanisms in place to curb the overstepping of the military in government affairs.

As lights go out in Zaošuma, Zergon and Endralon are preparing to reignite the flame of brotherhood and unity.

Mass Student Demonstrations in Hugamest; Demands of Reform made!

Mass demonstrations, led by students have hit Hugamest, espousing the ideals of democracy, freedom, equality and most importantly, reform. With the nation being the "dark spot" of Artania due to authoritarianism, and a weak economy, the demonstrations have received public sympathy from both those who want a better life, liberals and idealists.

However, despite the public sympathy, this has not stopped the police in Hugamest from dispersing demonstrations, only being able to increase it's presence in face of the larger demonstrations. Alongside espousing the claims of "security" and maintaining the peace", due to the protests disrupting significant portions of Hugamest. The government itself has yet to formally respond to the protesters but many doubt the government will ever even consider reform.

Despite the possibility of rejection, many are certain that the government will need to address reform if it wants to survive, and have remained adamant in maintaining the demonstrations, even if the government does reject reform. Whether or not Reforms are embraced or rejected, the demonstrations have certainly shown the government that the people, or at the very least students want change.

Whatever the case, and whatever the fate of the demonstrations, how the government responds will certainly determine if the situation escalates or calms down.
"Yet I am here, and here I shall remain to behold the world in all it's beauty."

Demonstrations in Hugamest dispersed by force; casualties confirmed amidst mass protests in reaction.

It would seem the government of Endralon has responded to the demonstrations for democracy and has chosen to clamp down on them. Violently.

The largest demonstration in Hugamest was violently put down by the police, resulting in at least 7 casualties. Chief among them being 4 students. This has seen mass protests across the country erupt, with the dead, now being seen as martyrs and dubbed "The Free Seven". Becoming a martyr for the demonstrations, protests have erupted in various cities of Endralon, calling for reform, justice and democracy. Combined with the economic struggles that Endralon faces, alongside the martyrs, and general discontent with the challenges Endralon faces, the protests have been given a strong base and strong reason to resist the government.

With protests erupting around the country, the movement the demonstrations started have only escalated beyond their wildest of dreams, with the entire country now seemingly in disarray. However, with the curbing of the Hugamest Demonstrations, some fringe groups have looked to a more radical solution, believing that words and diplomacy won't work and have looked to a more violent approach, with the Demokratikus Helyreállítási Front (Democratic Restoration Front) forming as a more radical militant extension of the protests. Whether the DHF will be able to do anything is unknown but with it's numbers slowly rising due to current circumstances, the DHF may become a strong group in Endralon.

In regards to the government, with the curbing of the demonstrations and it promptly backfiring into mass protests, and in many cases with the police being overrun, the question of martial law has become not an if, but when. In some regions however, the military has begun preparing, and while martial law has not officially been declared, the military has looked to prepare for the inevitable.

Whatever the case, "The Free Seven" have managed to bring the idea of change to Endralon, and with the government choosing to crack down, hopes for peaceful reform are starting to die out. While some remain optimistic as martial law is yet to be declared, others are certain that change will be difficult to achieve.
