A Day in the Life: Journals of a Bolonesvian Citizens

[Bolonesvia]

"I stood along the street with everyone else, anticipating the annual parade. While I was not the most patriotic and fanatic, I still found pride in my life for my country. I watched as a tank, a "B-52" I think it was called, pulled around the corner, signaling that the Heer were leading this years parade. I saw the giant Bolonesvian banners wave strong as the stoic soldier rhythmically marched as the national anthem played. They seemed to move as one, the soldiers. Their BkS and B-47s gleamed in the sun as they turned to the President, who followed custom with the fist raised in the sky, a symbol of the revolution that created our nation. Following the parade of soldiers was the motorcade showing off the wide range of vehicles fielded by the Heer. The Marinewacht followed behind this, marching in their dress uniforms. The Admiral of the Navy and his staff lead the procession, saluting the citizens to his left. As the procession past, the old and new planes of the Luftwacht flew past, deafening the crowd as propeller and jet engines roared past. Bolonesvia Day ended with a 21 gun salute, and a quick speach from Helen Reins."

Yuri Medor, aged 26, Reigenstadt 1956.

"That happened... That really just happened.... . I simply was walking my dog when I saw some crazy driver smash into the police building. I thought that was strange until I saw the young man carrying a bag run in and before I could think, a red fireball covered the bottom portion of the police station. I was thrown to my feet by the shock wave, and when I got up to run, I saw police trying to save themselves and their fellow officers. There was debris everywhere, I couldnt hear anything. It was as if someone had knocked me out, I was in a daze. When I finally came to, I realized what had happened. My dog was licking my hand as civilians fled and HOMEFRONT soldiers poured into the street trying to evacuate the area before the building fell. Luckily the building never fell. But how could someone suicide bomb a police station, for what cause? A young soldier grabbed my arm "Excuse me miss, you have evacuate, there has been a bombing and you need medical attention." I didn't know what he ment until there was a shooting pain in my hand. I looked down and there was a large gash. The soldier bandaged me and put me on an ambulance. I just returned home and now am tuning to the news with my family to see what happened and what is going to happen next. Only God knows..."

"Well, in two days Ill be able to vote. Hopefully those leftist bastards will somehow lose the ability to run, however unlikely that is. I wish they would understand the flaws of their communist ways, they want to end this great country we have as we know it! I had to switch my party in the Voting Register today, since the Populous Front can no longer fulfill the promise to continue the prosperity that this nation has known since the drafting of the constitution. I feel that the NPD will be the right choice for the future. Sure some of their policies are unorhodox, but there will be less poor with the programs introduced to help restart everything. As a vet I like that theire plan to continue the expansion of the Heer and the creation of the Vanguard of Bolonesvia, of the Vanguard for short. This is a group of special forces that will serve as the back up for the military but a step above, like a national guard but for civilian matters like hostage situations. They are calling for a nationalization of allot of industries, but in order to fix efficiency and jump the economy."

"Well, I didn't think it would get this bad. I thought that it never would escalate to the point that my neighbor has been arrested for supporting the Leftist Party. We are learning these anti-Leninovist have a stronger hold on us than we thought. The police are beginning to look allot like the military with these new advisers that are running things now. My son is a brand new lieutenant in the Heer, and I fear for the worst. Not for his death, but weather the intentions of his commanders are just. He is so wrapped up in serving this country and "Serving God". I feel he is falling prey to the churchs old rhetoric of "God and Country", or thinly veiled religious nationalism. I fear if this crisis doesnt end soon it will be too late to reverse the damage done by these bigoted religous assholes"
