Modern Day

While the peace has lasted until recently, tensions are rising to a boiling point among many nations and this may lead into another global conflict as border conflicts between the M.D.P. and the A.C.F. have been increasing in intensity and the U.D.N. has been locking horns with the M.D.P. and the I.M.C. which could lead into a local conflict. All of this is happening as Germany has been building up its own military while making an effort to remain diplomatic. Despite diplomatic efforts from Germany, Italy insists that they convert to being devout Christians and abandoning their typical government. Germany made it clear to Italy that they had no interest in making these changes but the M.D.P was welcome to follow those ideals themselves. A small group of extremists known as Santa Federazione del Papa (S.F.P), unhappy with this response decided to take things to an extreme and in 1996, a dirty bomb was set off in Germany’s capital of Berlin. The death toll from this attack was in the thousands and sparked increasing conflicts between Germany and the M.D.P as it was suspected that Italian officials aided in the funding of, and diverted resources to the execution of this attack. While this has yet to be officially confirmed, many Germans blame the M.D.P.’s escalation in rhetoric for the attacks, and harbor resentment for the Catholic faith as well as the M.D.P as a whole. This hatred Prompted attacks on citizens of the M.D.P as retaliation for lost loved ones. These events as well as a push from German Citizens lead the German Government to establish an increased military presence in and around M.D.P territory. Tensions continue to rise over the years and concern for the region sparks the U.D.N to divert forces to the Mediterranean with an interest in protecting its assets in the area.
