Ivanlandia Under Attack!!!

No coup d’etat attempted by the High Command—whew!—but the Imperial Palace has been under siege by supernatural economic focus, abetted by Evil Old Ones mucking about with their infernal weather machines—resulting in foul, cold, nasty weather which brought plague conditions to 99.9% of the Ivanlandia population.


THEN, on top of that, there was the standard holiday bullshit.
Man, the holidays are like the electromagnetic pulse from a thermonuclear blast: POW!
Lights out.


Once the Secret Police has done its job,
and the kangaroo court show trials
have been concluded,
transmissions and communiqués
from The United Provinces of Ivanlandia
will resume.

Hail, hail, Ivanlandia!
