A poem on Raindrop Pact's defense against the relentless enemies of our grand faction
Written by Transvaall

When the sky turns dark and the sirens scream,
And the world feels distant, like a shattered dream,
Stand firm, hold fast, don't break, don't fall,
For through the night, we’ll rise from it all.

The ground may tremble, the fires may blaze,
But in your heart, let courage raise,
A shield of hope, a flame so bright,
That even in shadows, shines with light.

The blast may shake, the winds may howl,
But within your soul, refuse to cowl.
Endure the storm, let fear take flight,
For after the darkness, there is still light.

In the ashes, life will grow,
From every crack, new strength will show.
The scars will heal, the dust will clear,
We’ll rebuild with faith, not fear.

So stand as one, strong and tall,
Together we’ll rise, together we’ll call:
“We are unbroken, we still stand!
We will survive and reclaim this land.”

Through chaos and fire, endure you must,
For hope is the weapon, the strongest trust.
In the heart of despair, remember the plan:
After the storm, we rise again.

Raindrop Pact: A Powerful Force To Be Reckoned!
Article written by Namvosk

The regions of India, UEPU, Council of Asia, Far East Oriental Federation, and Africa fought side by side, bound by shared destruction and unwavering loyalty. The Pact claimed the 12th position in the overall World Score Ranking and secured an astonishing 4th place in the Strongest Faction in the World Per Capita. General Awesomeness told The Typhoon that this is the second time the faction has joined this conflict.

During the one-day conflict, the Raindrop Pact destroyed more than ten enemy factions, the recorded ones were the Ministry of Continental Defence, Yevrazian Black League, Banten Doomsday Protocol, Anti-Maxwellian Alliance, and TROUTS. The Pact proved its ultimate might, orchestrating 72,566 devastating attacks across the world while intercepting an impressive 49,616 incoming nuclear missiles.

In its entirety of aggressiveness, the Pact has maintained its alliance between factions under its non-aggression policy. These factions are RAILGUN, Trans Republic, Northern Kerbalia, Starlight Brigade, Cortexist International, Nova Arctic Republic, The Trident Alliance, and West Coast Coalition.

At the height of the war, the Raindrop Pact's shieldbank peaked at an estimated 60,000, showcasing how united and dedicated the nations of the faction are, demonstrating the strength and resilience of its defenses. Their shield donations truly helped the faction in staying alive until the war's final hours. By the end of the conflict, 44 nations remained, their deaths a testament to their loyalty, however reports estimate that over 100 nations fought under the Raindrop banner during this catastrophic day.

"Last year we were sixth. Honestly, we were a menace considering we were so tiny yet we took forever to kill. We originally were sixth this time but some miscalculations led to our demise, but in any case we did very well to be honest. Someone in an enemy faction actually did call us a menace," High General Transvaall stated during the N-Day Aftermath press conference.

Despite major victories, the Pact has fallen into ashes against the hundreds of thousands of nukes raining from enemy groups. The first major strike on the Raindrop Pact came at 19:06, 29 September 2024, when Landbang Rkipo Islands fell to an unknown enemy—sparking concerns of internal treachery. MIlitary leaders argued whether the nation had secretly migrated from a foreign faction, or as Namvosk quoted, "if it was the shieldbank not working on the Pact's behalf".

Alleged "rogue nations" of the Grand Coalition launched unprovoked attacks on Raindrop territories. In a swift and brutal counterattack, the Pact's Central Command issued the order to strike on 17:59, 29 September, and was able to penetrate through their shieldbanks in waves of nuclear attack, although unsuccessful in obliterating its member nations due to a higher shield count.

As the final moments of N-Day approached, with Raindrop nations reduced to smoldering craters and radioactive wastelands, Central Command of the Pact, mainly led by High General Mombombu, gave the ultimate order: that all remaining nations were to be kicked out of the faction to prevent any further damage. This move, while drastic, preserved the honor of the Pact, ensuring no further humiliation as the last bombs fell.

Despite the given order, High General Lower Nubia led the remaining unobliterated nations to fight back till their last shield, after receiving news of Mombombu's destruction on 20:04, 29 September. General Jordinia valiantly led the Pact in a last-minute strike against enemy factions before the arms treaty was issued to stop the war.

Honors were bestowed upon Namvosk for its heroic efforts in leading nuclear strikes during early-war and in coordinating between allied regions on the war happenings via the Pact's official communication lines. Pirate-Empress 0cala of TRA awarded every nation of the Pact for aiding their faction during N-Day.

All nations that participated in this event are revered as war veterans of the 11th N-Day.

High General Mombombu has expressed thoughts that the Raindrop Pact would rise again next year on N-Day 2025.

The Raindrop Pact’s final legacy is written in ash and radiation, but the unity and ferocity of its nations will not be forgotten. The Pact’s name will echo in the irradiated wastelands of this world, a symbol of power, unity, and indomitable spirit.

Raindrops, though miniscule, strike hard when united.

---

In a sharp escalation of diplomatic tensions, the government of Kroniistatzka has issued an ultimatum to countries West Nichibotsu and North Wonscia, demanding the return of its diplomats and an explanation for recent communication silence. Kroniistatzka warned that failure to comply would result in a declaration of war.

In response, North Wonscia has denied receiving any diplomat from Kroniistatzka, suggesting a potential miscommunication or misdirection, and has taken swift action by sending its Director of Foreign Relations, Kim Ni-Sung, to Kroniistatzka to address the issue diplomatically.

With uncertainty looming, all eyes are on West Nichibotsu's response as the situation continues to develop.
