((You are a soldier of the Imperial Arkanian Army, a newly formed country that separates the East from the West. You are located in a fairly large island country, half the size of the USA, right in the middle of the ocean. Mere days ago, President Aknell attacked an American embassy, killing civilians out of spite. Bad move.))

The tension in the air is palpable as you stand on the outskirts of your hometown, a city in the newly formed nation of Arkania. Only days ago, your president made the fateful decision to launch an attack on the American embassy, an act of defiance that you and your fellow soldiers now dread. The repercussions of such a bold move against the world's most powerful military are about to unfold before your eyes. As dawn breaks, the sky is still and ominously clear. Your comrades around you, all young and hopeful soldiers like yourself, share uneasy glances. The serene landscape of your homeland, with its rolling hills and verdant fields, seems at odds with the imminent chaos you anticipate. You know that America will not let this act go unanswered. Your radio crackles with static, friendly Arkanian planes overhead.
