Hello, and welcome to The Flying Chimpanzee News; Galaxia!
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhuJGi2IsB
This evening, a few hours after the declaration of war on Boreralia, five other nations, related to Borealia in no significant way, have declared war on Galaxia! These countries include, and are limited to; Oman, Yemen, The Cape Republic, The Republic of The Peninsula, and, through some confusion, The Republic of New Freisa. Some of their clams include things like ‘New Galaxia is a threat to international stability’, and ‘magic has no place in this world’, and ‘must therefore be purged’.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1JZeYL3PP
The New Galaxian Gov’t has yet to respond to their war declarations, but based on Galaxia’s history, it is likely that said declarations of war will be ignored unless violence on the Galaxian mainland or their properties is an action that is taken upon.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmG5nm7KEtt
In other news, Galaxia has been invited to the Society of Nations, with acceptance pending, but their agreement to join seems more than likely. The Galaxians’ endeavour, the International Revenue System, has proved reasonable, due to a mix of Galaxia’s high population and their sensibly proportional taxing system.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvvy6vVIqh
In other news, it has been discovered that, in order to make way for Galaxia’s various landmasses, the earth’s size has been increased by approximately 24%. The eastern central landmass of the nation that contains their Capitol is roughly twelve times the size of the American Eastern Seaboard, as seen by select satellites in which are permitted to view the country.

In Just Now
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAKAwLoCVg
Our local Flying Chimpanzee Reporters Have Seen that, as of 9:40 AM today, all five nations, except Freisa, who has withdrawn due to dislike for war with each other on both sides, have managed to unsuccessfully bomb the Galaxian mainland, the transportation centre specifically.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1vwAnboiu
Also, they touched their boats.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6u1kn5Vdl
In a statement from the Galaxian Monarch, they intend to respond ten fold. At 12:00AM, 6:00PM, and 3:00PM today, all of Galaxia’s attackers will receive a nuking of their operations, no matter where they move their base of such.

I walked down the hallway, exhausted. I had just lost my job, and that’s what I had to come home to tell my wife. That, obviously, wasn't good.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiSjIbKhYK
Other people were running by, panicking for some reason oblivious to me. I knew for a fact that there was something I was missing, but what was it? To me, it was a thursday as any, so there shouldn’t be much of a-

My thoughts were interrupted as I arrived at my apartment’s door, with what sounded like a train filled the air. Odd, I thought. There wasn’t a train station for miles. I leaned over the guardrail, looking up at the sky through the stairwell. A speeding purple line zoomed by, followed by an orange line that seemed to connect to it. I watched as a bluish dot seemed to come from it, heading toward my vicinity.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiazHIXZ2W
I then realised why everyone was panicking.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTvUJN92C5
It was a bomb.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtgyrHjyVh
I rushed to get my apartment door open, and proceeded to barge in, finding my family praying in it. I locked the door behind me out of habit, and joined them, hugging them with everything I had.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVhS1AzZbj
I felt, with bated breath, as the building rattled violently, almost as if it were about to fall over. By the window flew, oddly enough, blue dust, and debris flying past, threatening to shatter it in. But then as soon as it started, it was over. The dust settled unsettlingly quickly, and the shaking was no more. We kneeled there, silent. Were we dead? Was this all a bad dream? A knock on the door would prove otherwise. I stood up, shaky, and went over to open the door.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuvspsb6Wq
There stood one of our neighbours, sorrow etched into his elderly face. I was beckoned outside, to be met with grim prospect. A selection of apartments were gone, now just holes, like missing legos in a giant project. I was shocked that the building still stood, it seemed as if it was done by magic.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMizs1K2Qa
Although there was peril surrounding me, I could only be thankful that I was alive.

“Are- are we going to be safe?” “I don’t know.” The school principal muttered, speaking to one of the other teachers. Public was where the bombs were going to drop, and after seeing their effects, it was questioned if any location was safe.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPypKLm5Tt
Students were hugging each other, crying, hoping that their last would not be now.

The bomb campaigns have ended, and they have proved deadly. The nations, Oman, Yemen, and the Republic of the Peninsula, have surrendered. Integration underway, the international community is appalled by this use of magic, and have therefore deemed it ‘Over the top’, as said by the Orzakian ambassador, a undersea Galaxian ally. The Cape Republic remains.

Gloria Terr. (Borealia)
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSy1oiH0ew
Hezago, as Rosalene, stepped out of the portal, looking at the afterlife’s colourful skies. A aesthetic mix of red and purple, with majorly blue in the more moral places, it was like looking into a very realistic painting.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhj4orOLFof
However beautiful it was, though, it was not the subject at hand.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTtcpxTiWD
Taking back Gloria, however, was.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZKrqAARYT
He clapped his hands twice, and a group of forty eight men appeared in Galaxian military uniform, separated into groups of four. Hezago spoke with urgency, though this tone was unnecessary. “Soldiers. Today, it is Gloria you shall march through, taking what is rightfully ours. Understood?” The soldiers saluted in affirmation. “Good. Now, this is the afterlife, so be prepared to fight anything; anything against the Geneva conventions shall not be counted against you. Now, You have been given cardinal directions to set off in, of which you should know by now, and, you must understand, remain together. Understood?” “Yes Ma’am!” They said, saluting.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKzBP20umc
“Lovely. Now wands at the ready.” The soldiers who had wands pulled them out , while the others stared at him confusedly. “Oh, completely forgot about that,” Hezago said, proceeding to flick his wrist. “You should now find wands in your pockets. They are built specifically for you, compatibly so, and until this war is over, will remain invincible. And-” He turned swiftly toward an elf soldier next to him- “Yes, Eren, you can keep them after this. Now, off you trot.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10w7iLLYLn
And the soldiers went off, wands- and guns, at the ready.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyu0QNSFGwT
Hezago stood there, and took a breath, looking toward the ocean. In this part of the afterlife, it was red. He turned northward, picked up his dress, and bounded off, a trail of dust behind him.

He arrived in a plain of grass, nothing for miles. This was the absolute centre of Gloria, and the nearest borealian army was sixteen point four million miles north.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2q3GuZemio
Gloria is quite large, as you can tell.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbimr4TyisJ
So once again, he picked up his dress and ran, heels sparkling in the fire left behind.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiAzCh8O88
. . .
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPceS3O1F98
A lack of attention combined with an eagerness to get this over led him to run straight through six borealian soldiers, cutting them uncleanly in half, and the worst part, getting blood on his dress.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSj1sTAtNy
That was not coming off easily.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZJ8PaHvoL
Rosalene had come to a halt in front of a tank, fuming about the staining of her dress. “Augh, no! For Melbourne’s sake it-” She then took notice of the tank. “Oh! I’m here already, how… lovely.” She adjusted her strapless dress, and took in her surroundings, which consisted of six guns to the face and a laughing general.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4s5Kohql6
Now under normal circumstances, she’d just leave them weaponless, but a mix of being in Gloria when they’re not supposed to and humiliation he would not stand made it a different situation.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsYwGFc92k
He grabbed the gun of the person closest to her and proceeded to use it to beat him to death. The other soldiers, commiting to the dumbassery they were taught, simply stood there and watched their comrade get their organs turned into a baloney sandwich (and eaten) by someone they barely knew.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKtQZydBcE
While eating the sandwich, Hezago drew his wand, and with a slash of the air, decapitated all the soldiers except the general and the inhabitants of the tank.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDXHDEZ2Ml
He eyed said general, who was looking nervous, and was trying to get into the tank, but they had just locked him out for fear of what Hezago would do to them. They wanted to keep their necks on their bodies, thank you very much.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRBc6F2sxB
Rosalene had finished her baloney sandwich at this point, and with an uncomfortably motherly smile, said, “cat food.”
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoc1m4mEet
And just like that, a pop could be heard, with the general turning into a bag of cat food. Yes, said slightly bloody, but Kaskit, Max and Teresa would enjoy it, would they not? There was no need to complain against such.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Yl47F5akj
Turning to the tank Hezago had expected to be there, he instead saw it speeding away, dust behind it. He shrugged, some other division would find them and deal with them accordingly, so that, at the moment, was none of his business.
57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8OVfHgdAs
Once again did he pick up his dress, and off to the capitol, he would go.

Gloria (Including other afterlifes) is a Commonwealth of Galaxia that consists of a minimum of 16 provinces (maximum unknown) all of which are territories of the crown. It is the second most populous commonwealth behind only Dimonia, a prosperous ruling elsewhere.
