“The World Market today wishes to
inform Regional Leaders that their actions will no longer
be without consequence. In addition to our economic resources
and our ability to provide a common marketplace for the
trade of goods, we now also have the ability to police
the actions of rogue states. We have by far the largest
military organization remaining on the planet, and although
our objectives are benevolent, should you feel the need
to test us, please be aware that we are also a nuclear
power.”
The next day, test detonations in the South Pacific corroborate this claim and within two months further publicized “Military Maneuvers” verify the might of The World Market’s forces.
By the beginning of November most regions have, to varying degrees of willingness, joined this new partnership. A renewed sense of international community is born, but the full agenda of the World Market is yet to be known. |
