So D.C. is one of the largest cities in the United States, true. It's also a horrible place to survive in the event of total social and economic shutdown. While limiting it to D.C. made it nice to keep RP together and have people meet up it has sort of limited the RP and quite heavily. Factions are based solely in the capital city and while D.C. is important, having Confederates in D.C. makes little sense. D.C. would be destroyed/cleaned in the event of shutdown meaning there are no supplies, destroyed buildings, and lots of disease with no way to combat it. Furthermore, I feel that opening our RP somewhat will somewhat allow there to be greater stories and RP. Of course in some ways this relies on you RPer and if this doesn't work out we may have to return to D.C. in one way or another.

Violent storms continued to fill the skies above Washington, and violence filled the streets. Patriots, Commissars, and Brazillians alike fought around the Washington Monument - until a poorly placed artillery blast knocked the Monument Down, followed by a Helicopter crashing nearby. The battle raged for a short period afterward, until a mysterious Black Jet napalmed the area. Now, the City has an almost depressed mood around it.

It has been discovered that the Brazillian Government has occupied the Capital Building, and that the Patriots are fighting back to retake it. The Patriots have begun to increase their organization, and have sent scouting parties into the great forest. Survivors reported that multiple Tiger attacks happened in the great forest recently, and that "The area between the Washington Monument and Ulysses S. Grant Memorial is a no-go zone". As of late, little has come in the way of news on Confederate or Comissar forces.

Word has traveled that there was a shootout at the zoo, and that the Gorillas have become much more territorial around Adams Mill. The area around the Lincoln Memorial has become much safer recently, with many claiming that it is guarded by a "lone ranger". Last night three helicopters with a jungle camo were seen flying towards the Capital Building. As the Capital Building is one of the most dangerous areas in D.C, no one has yet gone to investigate. Some reported a green and yellow flag on the Helicopters.
