It has happened. Golden Grove (the microcosm of Darlington from where these updates originate) has a new leadership in place. The revolution was, for the most part, bloodless, the old rulers opting for neo-colonial opportunities interstate. In keeping with the style of the modern corporate world the revolution was conducted more through economics than warfare. Indeed, infrastructure such as the fridge, couches and microwave have been transferred from the old to the new at cut-price rates, with expenses to be borne on the backs of future generations.

As for the citizens, intelligence reports and market research indicate both acceptance of and goodwill towards the new regime. This of course will be monitored closely. There may be conflict between the Scottish and Swedish blocs, as the latter has grown to represent an ethnic majority, but NZ can play peacekeeper as well as benevolent dictator.

Peace out. More reports to follow.
