Meridiania is a very peaceful and humane nation, nationalists and extremists are few and far between, Cattala has nothing to worry about In more than 130 years of nationhood, only five times has Meridianian engaged in Armed conflict, The World Wars, Vietnam and the Gulf War, and the current War.

A VNCI Special Forces Team has infiltrated the Stille Nederlandsian Mountain Compound of Eray Koorn, known as "Opdracht Hoofdkwartier," which serves as the headquarters of the former NOB and is the actual operations center of the Volksrepublik's Government, as opposed to the "official headquarters" of the Koninggebouw in Raakstad. Due to the special nature of the situation, the location he is being transported to is not being released, only that he will be taken to a special location, independent of all other arrested NOB Terrorists. In all the VNCI and the Army who came in for cleanup, arrested upwards of 350 NOB members, not including the 163 NOB Casualties in the firefight. In total, of the 500+ NOB Members at the compound, around 20 remain at large. Only one casualty was reported from the Army, no VNCI members were killed. Koorn's four ammunition bunkers are also being cleared out, consisting of tens of million dollars in weapons and ammunition. No nuclear weapons have been found in the search of the compound. The Volksrepublik is expected to become permanently dissolved in the coming days since the capture of many upper government officials in this morning's offensive. Libre-Pacifique has officially surrendered after a short battle in the streets of South Juliet. Libre-Pacifique was a youth based movement which aimed to separate the french speaking section of Meridiania from the English and Dutch sections to govern themselves under french ideologies along with a transparent government.
