The evening after the events of the previous day (before the Security Council meeting and the introduction of troops into the state's territory).
Riots Continue: Should Help Be Expected?
Unfortunately, the unrest in Quasardastan shows no sign of subsiding. Chaos and anarchy are words that perfectly describe the situation in the state in brief. Our newspaper's publishing house in Hramia was subjected to several armed raids; employees literally had to shoot back at attackers while editing and printing articles. Why? Simply because the public must know. The global public. You can still visit our news page at http://qasapravda.qzd. We apologize to our esteemed readers that this evening's issue will be published without illustrations. Currently, unfortunately, the editorial staff has no way of obtaining reliable information about current events, so all information will be taken from the world wide web.
Many now believe that Quasardastan's only chance to stay afloat lies in the support of allies from the SC. But will these measures be effective, and will the Security Council actually take this step?

Gentlemen, I must inform you that I have arrived successfully. You won't believe it—I had only just boarded my plane when some ***** nearby were already aiming a Stinger. Can you imagine? But overall, everything ended well. For me, at least.
What else I'd like to write. Hang in there, guys. I don't know what kind of ***** is going on over there, but I have no intention of returning here. I have some savings left in the local banks; it will be enough for a while. I'll try to change my citizenship. I'll get refugee status eventually. I advise you to do the same. Quasardastan is no more. That's it.
Elena Mokva, journalist. [Today, 20:11], [ip address not identified.]
I am currently on a cargo barge seized by citizens of the state. Where are we sailing? I have no idea. What are these people around me saying? I can barely understand. Slaves—what can you expect from them. No, this is clearly not a revolution. I don't feel hatred, anger, or anything else in them, only fear. A terrible, animal terror. Everyone is shaking. Run, run wherever your eyes lead.
Help for the state? I think not. Why would they dirty their hands? How will they help? The whole country is a wasteland, the Central region is in ruins, an uneducated population, riots. Someone, please ask the leadership of Kittypink to arrange a nuclear bombing of Quasardastan. A pitiful country, a pitiful end.
Nicholas Nayer, security officer of the Temple. [Today, 20:40], [ip address identified: Quasardastan, Central Region, Hramian Oblast, Hramia, Temple.]
There is no one here. No one at all. The Temple is empty. Leonid disabled the security and anti-missile defense system. He says it's time to leave. Well, I won't leave. I remember the times of the Industrial Coup; things weren't like this then. Explosions, gunfire, corpses—the same. But a feeling like this... there was nothing like it. An inner emptiness, that's it. You realize that there is no one around, you are alone, abandoned. No friends, no enemies. Absolutely nothing. Void.
Recently, the guys and I went up to the seventy-seventh floor. Oh, it was hard, entering His chambers. I imagined it all quite differently. I thought everything would be sparkling with gold, but it's not. Our oligarchs have much more luxurious things. Ehh, Quazard, whom did you leave us to.
We searched everywhere there, then. Found nothing. Well, weapons perhaps, but who needs them now. Not weapons, but faith is needed, I believe. Faith in something, anything.
Explosions in Hramia: End of Rescue Operations.
As we were informed by telephone, after several hours the rescuers finished clearing the rubble of the building destroyed by the explosion in the Hramian Oblast and scattered in all directions. The right decision.
In addition to the corpses of twenty-three security officers, bodies presumably belonging to the owners of the "Loyalty and Liberty", "the Brotherhood of the Wrath" and "Mitasacker" corporations were discovered respectively. According to medical specialists' conclusions, thirty-seven-year-old Thomas Stammer is alive, while Dasheng-Chen (42 years old) and Bon Bargen (59 years old) died from injuries incompatible with life caused by the collapsing ceiling and blast wave.
"We will hope for Thomas's recovery," Arthur Stammer wrote on Twitter immediately after the event. "Apparently, he took a heavy hit, and so far doctors are hesitant to make any forecasts. I hope the specialists from Actea help you, brother. Money does not matter."
Meanwhile, today ended with a total collapse and crash of the Quasardastan market. The international currency rating vncr assigned the quasard a value of 0.21, the lowest in twenty years. Devalued shares of the country's corporations are being bought up for cheap by various collector communities wishing to have such a long memory of a state that vanished in one day.

Other Events.
Toni Souk, the chairman of the board of "Impossible" bank who went missing yesterday, was found in a drainage ditch near the Central Bank building. Apparently, unknown persons ambushed and stunned him with a blow to the head, after which they continued beating him and then left him. Toni has already come to and is even trying to speak, but surprisingly, he remembers absolutely nothing of the events that occurred over the last few months. Doctors noted short-term memory loss, numerous bruises and fractures, as well as a concussion.
Meanwhile, the bank's own management decided to freeze all accounts and assets of enterprises for an indefinite period. Thus, all the largest corporations of the state are effectively bankrupt.
The board of directors of l&l inc. left the territory of Quasardastan in full today; as for the members of the Brotherhood of Wrath, they will likely never be found again.

Two Months Later (Present Time).
First Day Without Gunfire: Will the Lull Last?
The editorial office of our newspaper hastens to bring you joyful news: for the first time in a long while, not a single shot or explosion has sounded near Hramia all day. The situation in the state has finally been stabilized. These were difficult times. Every day could have been the last. Who knows if it could have been even worse when Ventorum's units crossed the border of Quasardastan. This was a difficult but just and selfless decision by the leadership of the Federative Republic and the entire Actean Security Council.
The people of our state always considered themselves free from laws. But, as it turned out, society is simply incapable of existing without leaders. There must always be people who are above others. Lawlessness also comes in different shades.
These were difficult times, full of tears, despair, bitterness and suffering, hunger, horror and death. Not everyone was destined to survive them. Someday simple people will thank our allies for their help and support in a situation that was hard for the state. Perhaps it will be their children, or even the children of their children. But many will remember today.
As you may have noticed by the slightly changed writing style, today's news is brought to you by a person taking up this difficult task for the first time. I regret to inform you that from this moment on, "Quasardastan Truth" ceases to exist.
Bright memory to the brave and courageous heroes who did not stop in the face of danger and continued their work until this bright moment. What a pity they never got to see today's sun. It is... beautiful and unforgettable. I haven't seen anything like it for a long time.

Rest in peace. . .
Briefly on the Main Points.
Thomas Stammer, head of the "Mitasacker" corporation who miraculously survived during the "Hramia terrorist attack," is currently still in stable-critical condition. In addition to the consequences of the building's destruction, the monopoly owner suffered numerous burns (over forty percent of the body, including parts of the face) due to a fire that started in the building. Despite this, according to leading specialists and doctors, his life is not under threat.
Toni Souk, chairman of the board of "Impossible" bank, announced today the resumption of the enterprise's work. Unfortunately, he still failed to remember the last few months of his own life, but he has already expressed personal gratitude to the Federative Republic for help in stabilizing the situation in the state. He also noted that Quasardastan will need some time to fully recover from the consequences of this crisis, which the people have already named the "Black Era," but the country's political course will remain largely unchanged.
Meanwhile, the quasard exchange rate holds at... To be honest, I don't understand this, but the state's national currency is completely devalued. Shares of Quasardastan corporations have spread across the world and were bought up by various communities in different regions of Actea. Who will now get the empty and half-destroyed factories? It remains a mystery.
In its short history, Quasardastan has survived many misfortunes and hardships. And now, as never before, the state stands at a crossroads. I cannot say exactly what awaits us ahead. But it doesn't matter. I am ready to accept my fate.
From this moment on, I begin the restructuring of Quasardastan; another wall of text will be significantly later (if at all), thank you all for your attention, until we meet again.
