Lalaka Under Allied Occupation Soon after the fall of Lalaka to Allied forces in the fall of 3188, the city was made an occupation zone by all major parties. Deltaria, Jelbania, and Barmenian forces divided the city in three sections, each having administrative control. Barmenia was awarded the small section, but were granted the section that has the world famous Jakanian Zoo; presumably the wild cats there have been freed. The Republic of Jaknian forces were instructed by the Allies to continue the fight in Sonhata while Allied forces quelled any dissent in Borenu. Deltarians, who are highly trained in such things were given command of the military police in the city. Dissidents of either side were quickly dealt with. The Allied powers are now in control of the police, fire, utilities, sewer, and other necessary services to the city. One of the more pressing needs is heat for Lalaka residents. All freedom of the press, assembly, and civilian trial are temporarily suspended. The city is also under a mercantile arrangement whereby the city can only sell to Allied powers and may only buy from Allied powers. Natural resources like precious metals, oil, and so on are being sent back to Allied countries to pay for the war. Political analysts have factored Allied occupation with the Monarchist rise in support in the polls.
Deltarian MPs Patrol Lalaka Update March 3189
Despite an electoral victory by the Monarchist forces in Jakania, Allied forces continue to ignore the election. The Head of State, while won by the Monarchists was not named and thus vacant. Allied forces thus declare that there is no Head of State for Jakania and are willing to substitute Allied Commander Matthew Harmon as acting Head of State for Jakania. The mission remains the same and if the Monarch Syed shows his face, he will be killed on site. Presumably the Head of Government for a new cabinet may become acting Head of State, but such an individual would immediatly be targeted by the Allies. Allied forces discount the impact of the election as illegitamet, and even if the Monarchist legislature were to attempt to bring the old rule they cannot do so under constitutional rules. Allies are thus spinning the election as a victory for Republicans as the Monarch will not be able to return for at least several years.
