AFRC | Fabula

Description

AFRC unleashes a sudden coup three hours prior, storming Nimbala's capital (Kuhndu) and clamping iron control over radio and television to broadcast their dominance. This military/paramilitary force drives embassy evacuations under gunfire, endangers the exiled President's family with imminent death threats, and thrusts Oval Office leaders into a vise of intervention limits versus human tragedy. Antagonists without depicted hierarchy or ideology, they shatter the status quo through swift seizures and de facto rule.
