U.K.

- The Treaty of Cork grants most of southwest Ireland begrudging independence, but keeps the nation closely tied to the U.K.

- British columns retreat organised from Minya to the city of Samalut. The Royal Air Force bombs airfields in western Egypt.

- The U.K. bites the biscuit and applies trade sanctions on Danubia, but faces vocal criticism from the Opposition lead by Margaret Thatcher (because the Conservatives apparently lost back in 1975 or something).

- Final preparations are made for the first Newton mission. General excitement in Whittaker HQ.

- Inkwell Society
 * A driveby shooting in Washington DC leaves the US Secretary of Defence in critical condition and his wife dead. The Vice President is injured, but not seriously.
 * The Inkwell Society begins supplying weaponry and supplies to the African Socialist Alliance, though this is without the support of the ISA, who oppose socialism.
