Shocking news comes from Brightsia, as the upset in the Military Cabinet has reached a point of no return. The Navy and its coalition of allied seats have forcefully taken control of the Government, appearing in Yubileynyy City Center to announce the establishment of the "Democratic Republic of Brightsburg". This has caused a massive mutiny in the Army as chaos erupts through the streets of Brightsia, some units remaining loyal to the Navy's government clashing with units loyal to the Army and the Military Cabinet. It seems civil war is about to unravel the tenuous situation in Brightsburg. Internationally, however, the situation has not changed. Diplomats are still in tense negotiations with the Retentians, and Volunteer forces are still fighting in Mokland. It seems if the Navy's government succeeds in solidifying its Regime, Tsar Ivan III's reforms will be put into effect and a new era for Brightsburg will begin
