Angevin Empire

- With Lesotho refusing to bow to the Sun Emperor, the Duke of Aquitane orders the commencing of hostilities against the rebellious African nation. Two corps invade from the west, meeting valiant but fruitless resistance from the Lesothans. Marine forces conduct a landing at the Lesothan capital eThekwini after a 2-hour bombardment of the city, but these troops fail to break out of the beachhead they establish in the former capital.

- Unemployment levels reach 30% in France. The hardship and unrest now endemic in the empire significantly increases support for radical political groups, foremost of these the UltraNats and the Socialists, both of whom advocate for the end of imperial rule and the establishment of “democratic” elections.

- UltraNat demonstrators in Angers wreak shops and overturn cars, eventually being bloodily suppressed on the orders of the Duke of Champagne, current head of home affairs whilst Aquitane is in Africa.

- In secret conferences at Jorvik, numerous prominent English resistance figures and leaders meet, and proclaim the birth of the English Liberation Army. Plans are begun for a full-scale uprising in England, to throw off the chains of the perfidious french. Elsewhere, a hotel of rich Englishmen in Liuerpul is the site of a mass shooting, with 23 killed. This is significant in that it is the first major terrorist attacked aimed not at the French but at the English upper class

- Disagreements within the Angevin nobility lead to the members of a faction lead by the Duke of Brittany being stripped of their titles. These barons retreat to their estates on the Breton peninsula, and unconfirmed reports suggest these men may be taking up arms against the Emperor.

Also a note to Khmer that actually Champa is an Angevin colony. You can tell by the colours being the same. Sorry for the confusion
