Tehran, Iran -- 2055Leaders from Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Israel-Palestine, Jordan, Syria, Syrian Turkey, Oman, Qatar, Al Qaeda and the Taliban met in Tehran on Sunday, June 5th, to form one large country run by insurgents known as the Middle Eastern Conglomerate. MEC forces quickly move to seize control of oil fields in the Middle East. Oil production drops, raising the price of gasoline from 24.99 p/gal to a whopping 48.76 p/gal average. The United Nations met to discuss possible solutions, while NATO forces prepare to mobilize.
Tehran, Middle Eastern Conglomerate -- 2061NATO forces have officially finished their withdrawal from the Middle East. MEC forces continue to absorb oil rigs. Offshore oil rigs are targeted by rocket strikes. China, United Korea, Japan, Vietnam, Taiwan, Mongolia, and India assemble the Asian Coalition. AC task forces are constructed to take back MEC-controlled oil fields.
Washington, D.C. -- 2070A MEC bombing run on the Capitol Area leaves many dead and wounded, including the Commander in Chief, who is in critical condition. Asian Coalition forces are sent to assist in the defense of the United States. NATO units are sent to major cities.
Washington, D.C. -- 2073Laws are passed by the United States Provisional Government limiting electricity consumption. NATO units begin moving into smaller cities, and warehouse-style stores (Costco, Sam's Club, etc.), converting them into RPC buildings (Ration and Protection Center), the depot for NATO vehicles, forces, and where civilians receive a box of MREs weekly. A group known as the
Fireflies forms, rising against the electrical consumption laws. Fireflies seize a FEMA-controlled nuclear power plant near Los Angeles, California.
Los Angeles, California -- 2078The war between the Fireflies and NATO has progressed greatly. Attacks on RPC buildings by Fireflies have increased, leaving thousands without food, and the skirmishes on power plants leave many without power. The majority of the public support the Fireflies, despite the loss of power. On July 4th, 2078, Middle Eastern Conglomerate forces launched an attack on San Francisco, quickly absorbing the city and turning it into what was essentially a supermassive military base. From there they orchestrated attacks on the rest of California, mainly Los Angeles. Cities were cut into pieces known as Sectors (about 40 square miles each), cut into smaller pieces known as Zones (4 square miles each). NATO/FEMA forces became more and more oppressive each day, as new laws were passed.
