New York (Reuters) – 22nd March 2010 - Following the successful attack performed by ORC troops, the Northern forces have been surprisingly quiet.

Protvino (reuters) – With PLA forces digging in around the city of Protvino it is clear that they are not considering pulling out of there soon. The international task force that was sent out last week has taken up its position just East of the coast of Podagorsk. The main purpose of the task force, as it is not equipped for offensive action, is to deter the PLA and Russian forces from taking steps to take the whole of Podagorsk. According to sources there is very little willingness to put UN boots on the ground in order to evict the Northern forces. So it is up to the private military contractor; ORC, who arrived today to clear this mess up.

New York (Reuters) - The UN got together earlier today after the North invaded South Podagorsk. During the emergency session they came up with resolution #1442. Many people fear that this resolution will only strengthen the belief of the North to continue their actions.

London (Reuters) - Only a few hours after the audacious assault, the South Podagorsk Army has once again taken up defensive positions, this time much closer to the capital of Berezniki. The PLA and Russian forces it seems are holding short for the moment and  earlier today they were seen to be building defensive positions of their own.

Berezniki (Reuters) - the Podagorsk goverment has decided to issue a curfew for all her citizens. This decision is a response to the increasing criminal activity within the South Podagorsk borders.

Berezniki (Reuters) - Crime is at an all-time high. Police reports indicate an increase of at least 50% over the last few weeks. Armed assault and kidnapping are two of the reasons directly responsible for this crime wave. Insurgents have been crossing into South Podagorsk and our citizens suffer at their hands. Meanwhile leaders of the communities are wondering what can be done to stem this tide. When asked the Chief of police said; “We will do everything in its power to ensure the safety of our citizens – even if this includes issuing a curfew. With a curfew in place we can begin taking on these insurgents.” The government will decide later this week if a curfew will be in put into effect.

The downside of a curfew is that commerce will grind to a halt throughout the South, and the financial loss could very well put the citizens before a difficult choice; either stick with the South or move to North. Either way it does not look good for them should this scenario play out like this. We will keep you updated as the story continues.
