After a year of conflict, the politics of the World has changed greatly, but what does the war mean for President Bishop. The Conservative Party has gained seats in both the Senate and House but have a majority in neither. With The Populists considering backing Bishop in 2004, the Originist party may have their work cut out for them.
National approval rating of how President Bishop has handled the war is at its highest mark yet, 85%. The retreat from Vandals, Kandar, and much of Ivoriana has boosted the Presidents approval ratings, but may make the conflict in the USSR much more difficult.
During a press confrence following the recall of Soviet troops from Ivoriana, Commander of the Army remarked that, "The Soviets are on the run now." When asked if he thought the war is nearing an end he said, "The war in the East is far from over."
The III Corps and troops from Czech, Amel, Slovenia, Essex, and Timbre have pushed nearly 1000 miles into USSR territory, and the II corps launched a surprise attack in early March. This, along with the Arab Union attacking from Tajik, has forced the USSR to take drastic measures.
The Internation Unionist Party (IUP), has called on nations to send troops to protect the Soviets, leaving many nations rethinking their membership. Sizemore President, Almond Frazeti, met with Estarian diplomates in El Tia, Indian Union, to discuss possible cease fire terms.
In the Asian Penninsula, the Oriental Rebels have taken large parts of Quina, and parts of Achea, Srilan, and Japon. The Arab Union has had dificulty fighting Rebels, with several defeats in Laos and Quina.
The Republic of Estar has currently deployed 650,000 troops overseas.
