Angevin Empire

- The situation in Lesotho does not diffuse. Lesothan diplomats remain adamant in asserting their independence, and in mid-December expel all Angevin diplomats. With the status of protectorate ending come New Years, the time to act has come. Philip, Duke of Aquitane, orders the movement of two divisions of troops to Colonie du Cap, and a Marine division to Madagascar. In response the Lesothans raise up ~30,000 men, the majority poorly equipped and undertrained. They do however have some very good generals.

- Early flight-tests of the Cracheurdefeu fighter plane are a success. The Cracheurdefeu has higher performance rates than other standard fighters, and is expected to be able to serve multiple purposes.

- Terror attacks in England continue, as starvation begins to set in amongst the countryside. Villagers flock to the cities fleeing disaster, and overcrowding and disease become commonplace. A largescale cholera outbreak in Lundenwic kills 3,800 in December alone, and looks to be devastating in the coming winter. An explosion in a theatre in Grantebrycge kills 12 French tourists and an affluent English family.

- The Days of Dust come to Angevin, with stocks on the Angers Bourse in apparent freefall. Within months thousands are laid off, and businesses collapse.The Angevin Master of the Mint, Maurice Wagnon, turns out to be terrible when it comes to dealing with financial ruin, and the Angevin economy caves in in a matter of weeks.
