Scenario:   [MENLO] # [:MAIN_INFO:] - `[NAME: "Republic of Menlo"]` - `[TYPE: "Republic"]` - `[LANGUAGE: "Menlonian (Portuguese)"]` # [:DETAILS:] - `[POPULATION: "67.6 Million"]` - `[TERRITORY: "7,688,287 km2"]` - `[REGION: "North-East"]` - `[CURRENCY: "BRL"]` - `[PRESIDENT: "Pearson Halmet Kandrick"]` -# - [REAL-WORLD-INSPIRATION: "Brazil"] # [:DESCRIPTION:] > `Menlo is a vibrant nation situated in the northeastern part of the map, celebrated for its stunning landscapes, colorful cities, and deeply ingrained cultural traditions. known for their sprawling urban centers that pulse with life and energy and for hospitable people, Menlo is a land of rich culinary delights, music, and festivals that reflect its diverse cultural heritage.` > > `Despite its beauty and cultural significance, Menlo's history is marred by turmoil. The nation has endured decades of political instability, plagued by corrupt leadership, economic struggles, and an education system that has often failed its people. Menlo's geopolitical position has also placed it at odds with neighboring nations, most notably Rasonia. A series of intense conflicts, culminating in the infamous 'Third Menlo-Sonian War,' resulted in Rasonia ceding significant territory, further straining relations in the region.` > `Menlo's resilience has always been its defining trait, but it was tested like never before when it became ground zero for the devastating 'White-Eyes Outbreak.' The virus was able to rapidly consume cities, leaving chaos and panic in its wake. In response, the Menlonian government implemented a series of drastic measures to contain the infection. Cities deemed unsalvageable were sealed off with heavily fortified barriers and checkpoints, creating so-called 'White-Zones' where countless infected—and survivors—were trapped. Bombardments of these zones were carried out in a desperate attempt to halt the virus's spread, though at great cost to human life and infrastructure.` # MANPOWER ISSUES IN MENLO `After four weeks since of the WE-30 outbreak, the Menlonian government has saw fit to induct mass conscriptions to compensate the sudden manpower loss, where many women, teens, and elderly men have joined the military against their will, rendering the Menlonian Ground Forces more of a militia, rather than trained soldiers. With the stretch of manpower, the Government made a optimizing decision to still make fireteams more effective, by assigning each a veteran and squad leader to the task. The militias were told that they can’t save the country itself, they can only save lives for the outside world.` `Many talented civilians were lost to the induction, which will result in a skill shortage later on in Menlo, slowly lowering the chance of the economical survival of the country as a result of the infection. Many doctors were forced to lose their Hippocratic oath, as per being inducted into the military, forced to being a combat medic rather than a doctor.` # [:FACTORs OF MENLO-SONIAN CONFLICT:] `Conflicts made within Menlo’s territory has been reported to have ulterior motives, as Rasonians seized parts of urban areas that were active in resource extraction, specifically, oil, gas, and other natural resources. While the conflict isn’t official, and minor-scaled, it crippled Menlo’s containment effort, due to lack of resources, thus crippling and delaying time for an emergency response in outbreaks, further worsening the control between outbreaks.` ` (9: 8/ :8;;343!5 ;94 ?95) /8:3/ . ` # [:VOLUNTEER_LEGION:] > `With the manpower shortages, and lack of massive reinforcements from the IDO, the Menlonian government has created the “Menlo Volunteer Corps” for any international volunteer fighters to travel and operate alongside IDO and MGF troops. Little-to-no support is given to these volunteers besides shelter, and some MREs as the Menlonian supply lines are already extremely strained. All volunteers are expected to bring their own gear, ammunition, and supplies while in Menlo or use gear with less or equal quality to standard issue MGF gear.` > `While it may seem that these conditions are harsh, most of those who volunteer believe them to be fair. With images of the effects of the infection, and first-hand survivor accounts, volunteers poured in across the world to help suppress the infection, slightly relieving manpower issues.` > `Volunteers are deployed wherever MGF Command deems them necessary, whether it be reinforcing a frontline, or establishing a new camp.` > `However, despite these volunteers seeming noble, there are controversies and complaints them, such as some being ill-fitted or trained to fight in a long conflict. As well as this, a few volunteers have stolen supplies from relief camps, bringing up concerns surrounding the character of many volunteers. In the most severe case, volunteers have experienced blue-on-blue situations due to being confused for RIF from a far distance.` -# *“Civilians have better gear than us!” - PFC Rodrigo Jardin* # [:CIVILIAN_GOVERNMENT:] > `Menlo is a Constitutional Republic with a two-party system: O Partido Liberal Progressista [Liberal Progressive Party] and O Partido Conservador de Menlo [Conservative Party of Menlo]. As of right now the Menlonian Government is majority controlled by the PCM in the 2027 elections, to of which Pearson Halmet Kandrick was running under the PCM against his rival: Herry Winchester. A President in the Menlo Government serves a term for five years, and elections are held from September 3rd to December 3rd, allowing four months worth of campaigning. These begin after the President's five year limit is up.` > `Another major aspect of the Menlo Government, one that is quite damaging is the diffiuclt-to-control corruption taking place within the government, specifically the Senate. Mostly being bought out by powerful criminal figures or corporate entities, bribery and funds embezzlement the biggest problem, limitating and even impacting response time to crises and incidents, most notably the Outbreak in Menlo.` > `Despite all of this there are still other smaller parties that form, such as the Partido Verde de Menlo [Menlo Green Party], Partido Social Democrata [Social Democrat Party], and others to name a few.` ["INITIAL_INFECTION"] -# And thus began the doomsday clock ---------------------------------------------------------- # [:MAIN_INFO] - `[LOCATION: "Jeb & Helm's Bar, Menzillia City, Menlo"]` - `[DATE: "01/05/2030"]` - `[TIME: "7:30 AM WMT"` - `[OUTCOME: "WE-30 Outbreak begins in Menlo"]` # [:DETAILS:] - `[DEAD: "Two"]` - `[INJURED: "One"]` # [:DESCRIPTION:] > `The initial infection began at Jeb & Helm's Bar in Menzillia City when Maddox White had walked in to get a drink after an encounter with a stray dog, which had bitten him earlier. All was going well up until Maddox began to cough and twitch violently, catching a few eyes but nothing to be alarmed, just someone whom seemed sick. It wasn't until Maddox turned and attacked Vítor Borba, a member of the Menlo Highwaymen gang. Maddox would pick up a chair and throw it at Borba with enough force that the chair splintered and broke upon impact.` > `What caught everyone by surprise was when Maddox lunged at Vitor, tearing into his throat immediately and clawing at his clothes. Fear and terror filled the room as people stood by and watched whilst others, ran and fled from the bar. Many stared and watched as the bartender ran to grab the manager and let him know what was happening. Once Vitor was dead from a torn jugular and gushing jugular vein, the next one to be attacked was Zoé Rochas whom was sitting with Vitor when the attack happened. Luckily, she was able to get away mostly unscathed as Maddox tripped over the corpse of Vitor, falling against the hardwood floor` > `By the time most of the Bar had aired out, the Police were finally called as a few Menlonians were trying to barricade the "Mad Man" inside the bar.` video-link-of-crazy-guy-attack-entire-bar > `When they had finally arrived, the caller, one by the name of João Santos had been outside when the attack happened. Helping those who had gotten out to barricade the door as Maddox White was inside, it wouldnt be long before Patrol Officers Brock Zimmerman and Isabela North to arrive on the scene. What started out as an attempted arrest ended up with Isabela North getting bitten on her lower forearm by the suspect. Two more officers in the area would make their arrival: Sergeant Kayden Clemente and Officer Zimmer Ruiz. Stepping in and seeing both initial officers overwhelmed, they resorted to authorized lethal force as White Charged the two officers` > `When EMTs finally arrived, Maddox was pronounced Dead on Arrival, and Officer North was sent to the hospital for injuries. The scene was coroned off by officers, and those around were sent home as it became an active crime scene. > > This would not be the end, however...`
