    Treaty of Warsaw
  • The Treaty of Warsaw


    Across the world on VR day, people were celebrating the end of the war. Throngs of people took to the streets as spontaneous parties broke out – New York, London, Paris, Berlin, Tokyo, Chicago, Houston, Pretoria, Kampala, Jerusalem... Parliaments, presidents, and dictators proclaimed national thanksgivings to honor the troops and the victories after 3 years of brutal war. The casualty notifications were over. The news reports of bloody combat were over. The tension of thinking that nuclear war was just around the corner was over. Capitalism and Communism had faced each other, no holds barred, and capitalism had been victorious.

    However, conditions in the defeated Warsaw Pact was grueling to say the least. Many nations had been completely gutted out thanks to fighting and strategic bombing campaigns. Unlike the Western European, Asian, African, and South American Allies that suffered the same, they were subject to occupation forces. Parts of Russia that were under American or British control weren’t as bad off, while Chilean Argentina, Greater Serbia, or the Iraqi conquests in Iran saw heavy handed and brutal occupation tactics. Post-war developments were just beginning to play out – especially in Russia where the provisional government found themselves only in control of about a third of the nation, the rest belonging to Gennady Yanayev’s rump Communist Russia, Zhirinovsky’s Russian State, or the various separatist governments – the official end to the war and start of the new world order had yet to be concluded.

    The Big Eleven:

    · Donald Rumsfeld; United States of America

    · Winston Churchill; United Kingdom of Great Britain

    · Francois Mitterrand; French Fourth Republic

    · Gerhard Frey; Free Empire of Germany

    · Augusto Pinochet; Republic of Chile

    · Idi Amin; Republic of Uganda

    · Andries Treurnicht; Republic of South Africa

    · Yukio Mishima; Empire of Japan

    · Saddam Hussein; Republic of Iraq

    · Yitzhak Rabin; State of Israel

    · Achille Occhetto; Republic of Italy

    Meeting in Washington as the Battle of Moscow began, they agreed on behalf of the full Anti-Warsaw Pact Alliance to accept Poland’s offer to hold the peace talks in Warsaw’s Koniecpolski Palace (considered as fitting since their enemy was the “Warsaw” Pact). Held only one month after VR Day on July 17, 1991, the Western diplomatic delegations met with the representatives of the provisional governments, new governments, or various newly-created states arising from the ashes of the old Communist countries – only Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn’s Russian Republic was allowed representation at the conference out of all the competing Russian entities filling the vacuum of the USSR. Interim President Lech Walesa used the meeting to showcase Poland’s newfound liberation, massive celebrations about Poland’s Catholic identity and rich history. All of this worked magic for the international media but were underscored by the tense negotiations between the parties. The initial plans submitted were based off the working documents from the Riyadh Conference. Defeated Warsaw Pact nations had no real standing to contest any territorial losses. Unless they had benefactors as many of the former African socialist countries had in the Entebbe Pact, all were occupied and defeated, but they nevertheless put up a spirited defense of their interests. Wild proposals were kept squashed by the Big Eleven, who despite expansionist wishes of their own wanted to keep away a Versailles-like peace.

    President Rumsfeld with Vladimir Putin, Chief of Staff to interim Russian President Solzhenitsyn, while awaiting the aforementioned President on September 1, 1991. The two would discuss issues regarding the developing Civil War within Russia.

    Determined to finish everything as quickly as possible to restart the world economy from its dormant war footing, the Treaty of Warsaw was completed on September 25, 1991. The world order prepared so conclusively at Potsdam 46 years previously was swept away, something far newer left in its place:

    · The Allies would recognize the Free Russian Republic as the successor state to the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. The FRR would then accept full responsibility for the war, recognize all Warsaw Pact successor states, recognize all new states formed out of the former USSR, accept Allied occupation troops within FRR territory, and hand over all war criminals indicted by the special tribunal in Warsaw.

    · No former Warsaw Pact state may possess nuclear weapons, and any within their borders must be handed over to Allied-backed United Nations inspectors. The FRR may only possess military equipment and troop concentrations necessary for internal security operations, and all excess are to be delivered to Allied nations in lieu of reparations.

    · The FRR is to transfer Sakhalin, the Kuril Islands, Kamchatka, and all territory of Outer Manchuria east of the Amur river to the Empire of Japan in perpetuity. The Empire of Japan will provide for the expenses of all Russian citizens that seek to emigrate from these territories.

    · The following states formerly of the USSR are granted independence and self-determination: Republic of Tuva, Islamic Republic of Chechnya, Khanate of Dagestan, Circassian Republic, Emirate of Ingushetia, Republic of Ossetia, Republic of Balkaria, Kingdom of Georgia, Islamic Republic of Azerbaijan, Republic of Armenia, Ukrainian Hetmanate, Byelorussian Kingdom, Second Timurid Empire, Kingdom of Lithuania, Duchy of Latvia, Dutchy of Estonia, Kingdom of Moldova (including all of Odessa Oblast south of the Dniester River), and the Kingdom of the Crimea. Territory for Ukraine, Lithuania, and Byelorussia are to be set at pre-Molotov-Ribbentrop borders for all except the city of Vilnius (such territory annexed following Molotov-Ribbentrop will be administered by joint German/Italian/Polish authorities).

    · The German Democratic Republic is declared defunct. All territory formerly belonging to the GDR are to be considered integral territory of the Free German Empire.

    · The FRR is to cede Kaliningrad Oblast to the German Empire in perpetuity and pay reparations for all Germans displaced from their ancestral homes – no matter the country – in the years following World War II. Poland will cede all territory it currently holds that once comprised the German province of East Prussia and the City of Stettin. All additional territory once belonging to the Weimar Republic and Free City of Danzig are to be put under joint German-Polish authority until both countries can come to a resolution on the matter of control.

    · Finland is to be restored to pre-1940 borders and be awarded both Murmansk Oblast and the Karelian ASSR.

    · Ukraine’s Zakarpattia Oblast is to be granted independence as the Duchy of Ruthenia.

    · Armenia is to be awarded the Nagorno-Karabakh region of Azerbaijan, but will relinquish all claims to Nakhchivan.

    · Turkey is to be awarded the Abkhazia and Adjara regions of the former Georgian SSR.

    · Disputed Iranian territory is to be awarded along the lines of the Qom Nine-power Agreement.

    · Lebanon and Syria are to be placed under the protection of the French Fourth Republic, while both governments are to recognize all Israeli territorial gains in the Yom Kippur War and recognize the State of Israel.

    · The Republic of Iraq, due to the death of the majority of the Kuwaiti Royal Family, is to be granted possession of Kuwait.

    · Italy is to be restored to pre-1943 borders on the European continent minus the port city of Fiume, which is to pass under Croatian control. In exchange, Croatian and Slovenian originated goods are to be granted no custom or port duties in the port of Triste.

    · The Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia is declared defunct and replaced by the Greater Serbian Republic. The former Socialist Republic of Slovenia is to be granted independence except for territory passed to the Republic of Italy. The former Socialist Republic of Croatia is to be granted independence except for territory passed to the Republic of Italy and the Krajina/Spilt region, which is to be retained by Serbia.

    · Slovakia and the Czech Republic are to be combined into the Republic of Czechoslovakia with its capitol in Prague. All Hungarian majority areas within the former Slovakia are to be passed on to Hungary for the sake of homogeneity and unity among nations.

    · The territories of Transylvania, Crișana, and Maramureș within the Romanian nation are to be granted independence as the Kingdom of Transylvania.

    · The Republic of Sudan is to transfer its southern provinces to the Kingdom of Ubangi-Shari in perpetuity.

    · The Republic of Cameroon is to transfer the provinces of Northwest and Southwest to the Republic of Biafra in perpetuity.

    · The Empire of Ethiopia is to surrender the Ogaden region to the Republic of Somalia in perpetuity.

    · The Lozo Kingdom is to be recognized by all nations. The remainder of the former Zambian nation is to be divided up as agreed to in the Salisbury Conference.

    · The People's Republic of the Congo is declared defunct, and all integral territory of said state is to be granted to the Republic of Zaire.

    · The Worker’s Republic of Mali is declared defunct, and all integral territory of said state is to be divided between the Republic of Niger and the Republic of Mauritania as determined by the 1990 French Community Conference in Algiers.

    · Each of the South American Warsaw Pact nations is to submit to occupation by parties of the Anti-Warsaw Pact Alliance till a yet undetermined date.

    · The Provisional Government of the Brazilian Republic is to transfer Amapá Province to the Guiana Province of the French Fourth Republic in perpetuity.

    · The Provisional Government of the Argentine State is to renounce all claims to the British Falkland Islands. It is to transfer Santa Cruz and Chubut Provinces to the Republic of Chile in perpetuity. Tierra del Fuego province is to be transferred to Chile, but the United Kingdom of Great Britain is to be offered a deal to purchase the land at a fair price.

    · The Germán Busch, Cordillera, Chiquitos, Ángel Sandoval, José Miguel de Velasco, and Ñuflo de Chávez provinces of the Santa Cruz Department of the Republic of Bolivia are to be transferred to the Republic of Paraguay in perpetuity.

    · The Republic of Ecuador is to lease the Galapagos Islands to the United States of America on the same terms as the lease term for the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base.

    President Solzhenitsyn, Foreign Minister Chernomyrdin, Minister Semichastny, and Marshal Gromov had no choice. The only representatives that remained from the original Warsaw Pact – all others killed, imprisoned, or deposed in coups or invasions – the terms left their nation sundered and crippled as even a regional power. But the terms were the best they could get. Faced with the vengeful Allies just waiting for an excuse to go on the offensive again and even the remaining areas of Russia splintering into civil war, they signed the Treaty of Warsaw on September 26, 1991.

    World War III was finally over.
     
    1991 Marburg Virus Epidemic
  • The Red Death

    It was called many things. The Red Death, the Wrath of God, Atahualpa’s Revenge, el Aniquilador, o Pastor da Morte, Hucha, and the Scourge. Utter horror had already plagued the world for the over two years of World War III, and it seemed incomprehensible to many that God would reign His wrath upon humanity yet again. What happened would fall in the annals of the great evils of its kind: The Black Death, Smallpox in the Americas, and the Spanish Influenza.

    The official scientific name for the organism was a filovirus. Containing a single strand of Ribonucleic acid (RNA) within a grouping of helical proteins, the pseudo-living organism anywhere from 750-1000 nanometers in length. Each strand of proteins was formed in a long staff, oftentimes with a loop at the end that gave the famous name “Shepherd’s Crook.” Its original host was unknown, most virologists feeling that it began in one or more species of central/east African bat, but it hopped into primates and humans.

    The first ever recorded filovirus outbreak occurred in a warehouse for a primate wholesaler in 1967 West Germany. It presented with flu-like symptoms, but quickly morphed into lethargy, internal bleeding, and full onset hemorrhagic fever that resulted in blood pouring out of every orifice. The outbreak was in the town of Marburg, Hesse, and doctors dubbed it the Marburg Virus. Additional outbreaks in Europe and Kenya proved this strain to have a one in four mortality rate.

    The unique shape of the Marburg Virus earned its nickname “Shepherd’s Crook.”
    Further, isolated outbreaks occurred across Africa in the 1970s and 1980s, but the Entebbe Pact managed to prevent the virus from spreading outside the specific communities. It was in the devastation of World War III and the focus on fighting left many communities without adequate quarantine protection. Residents of several small villages in the Rwanda province of Uganda began to fall ill with flu-like symptoms in late spring 1991. By the time Ugandan authorities discovered the problem, it had already spread into the slums and hospitals of Kigali. Internal Security Bureau commander Paul Kagame ordered a full quarantine of the city, but sick travelers began to flock across southern and central Africa carrying the disease.

    Doctors of the World Health Organization flew into Africa by the hundreds, and in May 1991 declared there was an epidemic of the Marburg virus in a dozen countries in southern Africa. Since the only areas with significantly destroyed infrastructure were the former Zambia and Zaire’s Katanga province (heavily-armed troops of the Ugandan military preventing the infection from spreading north of Rwanda Province), the virus could easily be isolated in the localities it came into. However, what authorities did not expect was that this was a new strain different from Marburg Hesse. Marburg Rwanda was both aerosol transmitted and had a 50% mortality rate. Outbreaks spread like wildfire, South Africa, Zaire, Uganda, and Rhodesia equipping their military with full MOPP gear to take the lead in stopping it. One large outbreak was in the Cape Town slums where over 21,000 people would die from the disease (Prime Minister Treurnicht earning widespread adoration from black and white alike for personally visiting the infected).

    By the time the WHO declared the epidemic in Africa over in August 1991, Marburg Rwanda had claimed 2,500,000 lives, mostly in central Africa and a massive outbreak in Cameroon and Nigeria. But this would be a picnic compared to what happened next.

    After the defeat of the South American communists – officially declared with the installation of Ernesto Geisel as President of Brazil – immense foreign aid poured into the continent. All of it had been battered and bombed, lacking the structural infrastructure of Europe or the large undamaged portions of Africa. A lot of that aid came from the Entebbe Pact, and with it an unwanted invader. To this day no one knows who the original patient zero was or where he came from, or if there was more than one. But it is undisputed that the first known case popped up in the bombed-out ruin of Sao Paulo. She was a local soup kitchen employee, one of the many shiftless locals made homeless by American and Chilean strategic bombing runs. He entered the massive aid tents with a mild flu and was proscribed bed rest and fluids. She did not get better and suffered from a full body hemorrhage on July 21, 1991. Conditions being shitty – patients often having to sleep on bare grass or shit-lined concrete floors, the infection quickly spread.

    By August it was clear as outbreaks broke out in Peru, Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay, the Marburg Virus had spread to South America. On the ground observations and tests at the CDC headquarters in Atlanta proved that this was a new strain – a far deadlier strain. Dubbed Marburg Brazil, it was as contagious as influenza and had a 95% mortality rate. For Allied military forces and the UN, new orders were given and resources began flooding in to halt the tide before a global pandemic could happen – but it was too late.

    Marburg Brazil slammed into South America like a scourge – a US Army chaplain would coin it that and the press ran with it. Since Allied focus had been with finishing off the USSR or fighting various communist insurgencies on behalf of weak provisional governments, the majority of South America hadn’t left the bombed-out ruin stage. Tens of millions still lived in vast tent cities and favelas, millions more wandering on foot for any food or shelter. For an aerosol virus, such was perfect transmission grounds. Supplies were slow in arriving and Allied military forces found themselves overwhelmed as every village, every town, every city found itself filled to the brim with infection. All non-screened air travel out of South America was grounded but boats filled with refugees tried to escape – many heading to Central America. Panic grew across the world, fears of nuclear holocaust replaced with one of a new Black Death.

    As a result, the United Nations Security Council met on September 11, 1991 for the first time since before WWIII. A grim task was presented by the Chilean representative, the lone South American nation on the council. In coordination with the United States and Great Britain, Chile had concluded that most of the South American continent was doomed as Europe was during the Black Death. Weak governments, wrecked countries, and lack of border controls between the nations guaranteed the infection’s spread. President Pinochet had already given orders for a “shoot on sight” policy at the borders, and the medical experts stated that it was a virtual certainty that the infection would spread worldwide unless the same was done for the entirety of the continent. Such a humanitarian disaster was quite unpopular. France threatened to veto as each country squabbled over the morality of it all – what tipped the scale was reports of an outbreak in Chiapas, Mexico. On the council, Mexico authorized an internal “Shoot on sight” quarantine policy while the opposition to such collapsed. “God have mercy on our souls,” whispered UK ambassador John Major as the Council voted unanimously to institute a full UN quarantine on South America and withdraw all Allied occupation troops.

    Mass evacuations began almost immediately. General Hal Moore was ordered back to the region to take command, instituting Dunkirk rules. Men came first, massive dumps of equipment left behind as “in kind” contributions to the various South American provisional governments or sold to the Chileans for pennies on the dollar. Every nation with troops in South America withdrew them and withdrew them quickly, often using live ammunition and air power to fight off mobs of civilians trying to storm bases. Chilean commanders ordered their forces to flee in massive convoys of tanks, APCs, and trucks, only stopping to refuel. President Pinochet ordered all forces to defend the national borders at all costs, which included the newly annexed Argentine Patagonia (seeing Chilean soldiers defending their frontiers would quell any rebellious intent among the natives). Many tried to flee with them, but warning shots from aircraft or ships enforcing the quarantine forced them back. With the departure of the Allies and the institution of the naval and air quarantine over non-Chilean/British/French South America and over the infected areas of Central America, the local governments were forced to fend for themselves.

    Without foreign help, the militaries and quarantine forces were quickly overwhelmed. Even nations victorious in the war had dissolved their conscript armies and what professionals and militia were left suffered a deficiency in biological suits and medical equipment. Marburg devastated the militaries just as it did the civilian population, and streams of refugees fleeing infection-riddled cities – often compared to the Black Plague in sheer scope – spreading the disease to what safe zones were left. Quarantine efforts were made on highly-afflicted cities, but with manpower short it was a losing battle. Finally, on Christmas Eve, the Brazilian government found a new way to proceed with rooting out the infection when a flight of the Brazilian Air Force’s last remaining strike aircraft gutted the city of Natal with incendiary bombs.

    upload_2018-7-4_11-22-9.png

    It wasn’t just Natal that was targeted. What armies were left after the end of the war being overwhelmed, governments from Colombia to Paraguay were forced to institute “quarantine liquidation” over large segments of the infected populace. Lessons of Natal were incorporated, and no other mass bombings occurred again. The goal was instead to “contain and burn out,” cities too heavily infected isolated through bombings of bridges, highways, and controlled burnings of suburban areas to hem people in while surrounding villages were merely wiped out. Colombia, Venezuela, and Argentina instituted the two-bullet rule when dealing with Marburg victims, out of desperation rather than malice. Hate for the provisional governments skyrocketed, local warlords began assembling (In Uruguay, the death of the provisional president from Marburg caused the entire system to collapse into anarchy), and suicides skyrocketed. “What have we become?” lamented William F. Buckley, speaking for many in the world as they watched South America burn.

    While the hold of the Brazilian central government collapsed across most of the nation, the core population centers remained under the grip of the 150,000 regular troops – who by now were little more than President Geisel’s private security force kept loyal by protection from the virus. Sentiment burned bright against the government, but the cities were too chaotic and Marburg-ravaged to do anything about it. No, what brought about what would be known as the Anarchy was yet another example of a rage of nature. In the South Atlantic, the phenomena of hurricanes were almost never seen due to the unique meteorological conditions that created them north of the Equator. When one did emerge, as it did in January 1992, they were small. This one was a mere category 2. But with the country so ravaged, the tropical gales sliced through Brazil like a knife through butter. Half of Rio de Janiero was flooded, fever-ridden refugees in the favelas drowning by the tens of thousands since they were too weak to escape. Scarce resources were washed away, order collapsing (ironically, the floods trapped people within the cities, helping lower the spread of the virus). Top government officials and the wealthy elite holed themselves up in military bases or large estates with their military guards, citizens fleeing the cities and leaving the infected to die. Such chaos would be the underpinnings of the future Brazilian Civil War.

    Society diving into the abyss, despair formed as hundreds of thousands across all nations would commit mass suicide to avoid the horrors of death by Marburg. Hopelessness brought a renewal of faith within the continent, all communist efforts to rollback religion were rendered moot. Cathedrals and churches were packed as millions prayed for salvation through the carnage. One Anjezë Gonxhe Bojaxhiu, better known as Mother Theresa, had earned a name for herself caring for the poor in Brazil through the entire communist rule of the nation – so beloved, the government refused to touch her. After the provisional government had fled into the countryside she remained in Rio de Janerio, caring for the poor in the favelas. She would miraculously not contract Marburg and earn worldwide notoriety for her actions.

    In Peru, half destroyed by war and half underdeveloped from decades of neglect by the dictatorial military government (not to mention the various bombing raids), the virus first entered through the ports and airfields, spreading with the help of streams of Bolivian and Brazilian refugees. With Chile’s borders closed and the massive tent cities virtual breeding grounds for the virus, any goodwill that President Francisco Morales-Bermudez gained from victory ended in the heavy-handed quarantine measures. Relying on UN and Allied aid, when it dried up he made protecting Lima and his own criolles class more important than the rest of the nation. Distraught, many sought salvation through other ways while the virus burned through their communities. The Defenders of Inti entered to fill this void. Across the mountainous nation, its zealous members used their popularity from the Battle of Manaus to gain access to the public and assist whatever doctors remained. In the thick of it all was their leader, Pachacuti, ever much the legend.

    upload_2018-7-4_11-22-38.png

    In a ceremony televised from an unknown location, Pachacuti would care for the infected free of any mask. He would drink cups of infected blood, proclaiming that the old gods would protect him if they sought a new dawn in Peru. After a month, he emerged once more completely healthy, his thrall among the people of Peru growing exponentially (his diary told a different story, where the leader had contracted Marburg Brazil and was on death’s door for two weeks before he miraculously became one of the 5% that survived).

    As the southern summer began to die, so too did the infection. Though Marburg Brazil was the easiest to transmit than its less deadly cousins, the death of their vectors, brutal quarantine methods by governments and private militias, and the collapsing society of South America allowed further transmissions to peter out – and rather rapidly at that. UN monitors would identify cases plummeting in February, and on April 1, 1992, the Chilean government declared the epidemic over. Cases of Marburg would still pop up for the rest of the year, but the worst had passed. However, the worst had been devastating to South America. On top of the losses of WWIII, the UN estimated that 81 million people had fallen victim to the Marburg virus or the resulting chaos worldwide - more than in the worldwide Spanish Flu pandemic of 1919.

    South America’s population had been scythed, a third of its people killed in war, disease, or the chaos that followed both. Only Chile and the European controlled coastal regions in the northeast managed to escape hell. Many prayed that the daylight would bring salvation to the battered land, but time would tell that darkness had just begun to engulf the continent.
     
    Warsaw Trials

    Warsaw Trials

    Starting in October 1991, the world mixed its horror over the ongoing epidemic in South and Central America to focus on the Polish city of Warsaw once more. Beginning was the trial of the half century, where the various antagonists and accused war criminals of the Warsaw Pact were to be tried for their crimes. Unlike in the post-WWII trials at Nuremburg and Tokyo, all criminals from every front were gathered in the same place, several still at-large defendants (either fled or affiliated with Gennady Yanayev’s Russian Socialist Republic) being tried in absentia. Initially, the Allies wanted to hold the trials in the newly renamed St. Petersburg and initial efforts were made to have the trial in one of the old Tsarist buildings. However, a series of terrorist attacks by supporters of Zhirinovsky’s State of Russia targeting Allied and FRR forces made General Powell rethink his options. An invitation by President Walesa brought the Allies back to the Polish capitol once more.

    The trials were in the same structure as the Nuremburg Trials. One main and one alternate judge were drawn from the US, UK, France, German Empire, Italy, South Africa, Entebbe Pact, Japan, and Chile, led by Senior Judge Harry Blackmun of the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals. The lead prosecutor was the youthful and passionate Governor of Washington, who accepted despite his demanding job as part of his “service to God and country.” Prosecutions lasting a total of seven months due to the sheer number of indicted offenders (which only included the highest profile or worst), immense media attention was given.

    Public opinion had portrayed Kryuchkov as the second coming of Hitler since the war began – although in Poland, a near lynch mob occurred when demonstrators faced off against police when former Polish President Wojciech Jaruzelski arrived for his trial – media outlets focusing more and more on Soviet atrocities as the war went on. Many were routinely compared to the various Nazi war criminals such as Himmler, Goering, and Goebbels, but the man that captured the hate of the entire world would end up being Brig. Gen Andrei Chikatilo. Starting the war as an Auxiliary Captain in the KGB Border Guards, he had risen rapidly through the ranks due to superiors admiring his zeal for atrocity. Put in charge of larger and larger units on occupation duty, he was known to massacre entire towns (the largest being the systematic liquidation of fifty thousand people in the town of Regensburg in March 1990) and to personally torture and kill young women in Germany, Holland, Czechia, and Poland. His atrocities were shown to the world by Ted Bundy himself in Chikatlio’s in absentia trial, the defendant at large somewhere in the vastness of Russia. Poland had a $10 million bounty on his head, Germany a $35 million bounty.
