Back to the Stone Age
Paldrona used to be the nation's industrial hub. It carried the entire economy on its shoulders. Until 90% of its infrastructure was burned down. The city was a shell of its former self. It boasted a population of 233,000 a far cry from the 1.4 million pre-war population. Many of its skilled workers would never return, as the nation suffered the biggest brain drain in history. Thousands of highly skilled workers fled the fledgling country, searching for better prospects abroad. But the government refused to give up on repairing Paldrona. Without it, the nation would surely fall. On an extremely fast-approaching deadline, workers focused on export-based factories. Goods that could prop up the dying economy in the short term were prioritized. The eventual plan was to phase those out, but that would cost more money than they had access to. But as long as the government spent money responsibly-And the President just bought a yacht. With less and less funding, the plan for eventually repairing more profitable, but expensive factories was scrapped. Paldrona would forever be scarred with the husks of its former industrial empire. This decision would cement the dying economy as export-based, as nearly nothing could be produced locally.

They Come by Sea
Chein-Qwtz was the largest port city in the nation by a significant margin. It served as a hub for Paldrona-produced goods to be sold, and foreign supplies to be unloaded. Through an extremely specialized, well-oiled workforce it achieved economic prosperity for itself; And the whole nation. But the massive complex was on life support. Just 177,456 of its pre-war population out of 846,000 returned to the city. Its docks had been demolished by the socialist VMS Supremacy which still lurked just a few miles off the coast. Through a series of extensive negotiations, the VMS Supremacy was brought back to shore. Its captain and the majority of its crew were sparred any legal consequences except for the gunners. All 40 of them were executed upon leaving the ship. Back in Chein-Qwtz the situation inland was not any less dire. Heavy urban fighting had damaged hundreds of buildings, with some fires still raging for months. It would cost billions to repair the city fully. And that's not factoring in the merchant fleet. Hundreds of expensive vessels, many of them cargo ships had scuttled themselves to avoid capture. With no ships, the government resorted to paying foreign companies to transport vessels. Soon the entire naval transport industry was dominated by foreigners.

The Former Capital
Redberd, the former capital was in ruins. Just 2% of its former residents remained, as services such as water, waste disposal, and electricity were sparse. The country had completely given up its former crown jewel. Its marble temples, modern apartment districts, and extensive military infrastructure had all been completely destroyed. The economic district, second only to Paldrona had burned to the ground during the three-year siege. Bodies still lined the streets as no one had bothered to pick them up. Independence Hall, a symbolic building representing independence was cratered. By 1951 the government officially relocated the capital to Cryen. The city was completely demolished just a few months later. The plan was to build a new city, Bluebird where Redberd once stood, but the project was never completed.

Rebellion....Again?
Although the democratic army had decisively won the war, many diehard socialists refused to surrender. Many of them retreated to the mountains and jungles, resorting to guerrilla tactics to cause as much harm as possible. With limited ways to combat them, the government simply ignored the problem. The rebels were under-armed, underfunded, and had low public support. Head General Adam considered them little more than "an annoying fly". So the government became content with isolating them, seeing as they really couldn't attack any major government facilities. However, the rebels weren't interested in attacking large settlements and military formations. Many of them focused on interrupting trade, destroying roads, and generally being a nuisance. They achieved great success with this strategy, causing the government to increasingly rely on foreign ships to transport supplies. One of their most notable attacks would occur on August 19th, 1952. A military caravan 13 trucks strong, transporting troops and much-needed supplies to Pandora was forced to travel through rebel territory to reach their destination. On a narrow stretch of road, with a sheer cliff to the right and a dense jungle to their left, the lead truck broke down. During the fifteen minutes that the caravan was stalled a group of 200 rebels began a devastating ambush. 54 soldiers and nearly 26 million in raw materials were lost. An interview with a surviving democratic soldier can be found below.

The Red Massacre
Following the ambush at Willows Crossing the government finally started addressing the socialist rebels. In an event known as 'The Red Massacre' hundreds of democratic troops were deployed across the country in a coordinated extermination campaign. By using family as leverage, hundreds of socialist rebels turned themselves in. Those that refused had their parents, spouses, children, and siblings arrested for high treason. Those that still refused to surrender had their families executed. Using this method nearly every socialist rebel surrendered in just a few weeks. The majority of these surrendering insurrectionists were sent to labor camps, producing low-quality goods for exporting. Others were forced to repair cities, excavate build sites, and mine. By the time 'The Red Massacre' ended, only 103 rebels refused to turn themselves in. The families of those 130 rebels were executed. Over 900 people faced execution at the hands of democratic firing squads. Hundreds more were sent to labor camps. It's unknown how many civilians died in the camps, but it's estimated nearly 400 captured rebels were worked to death.

The Brave 103
The remaining 103 rebels became known as 'The Brave 103'. Their ranks were bolstered by non-socialists, who simply despised the current government. Over time they formed the 'Red Right Hand' an organization accused of terrorism by the government. They would continue to interrupt trade and military operations in the eastern region for decades to come. Many of these rebels would form splinter groups, notable ones being the Black Claw, Ivory Tusks, Freedom Coalition, Economic Justice League, and the Glimmering Jewels. These splinter cells would spread across the nation, fueling decades of civil unrest.
