  • Day of Announcement

    This was the day that marked the beginning of a political civil war in the nation. As the current presidents term was nearing an end everyone in the nation heard of a man who would stir up the world in his attempt to become the next president of the united states. That mans name was Richard Gerchude.

    Time of Running/Campaigning.

    During this time span, there were rallies, and the like, going on across the country. Richard was a deviant man, and a liar. He was not trustworthy, nor was he a gentleman. He treated women, and allies, like trash. His ego was massive, but people still voted for him, and got him into office. The country of Reach was more divided than ever. You either supported Richard, and his righteous quest to create a better Reach, or you were a part of the problem.
  • Entering Office

    January 20, 2017 is when Richard first entered office. Rumors had spread that he was a difficult man to work with. Constant stress and a bad temper affected his decision-making. So, anyone that opposed him was either fired, or had their rights stripped from them.

    Unfortunate events

    Around this time, rights were being revoked left and right. This began to look more and more like a dictatorship. The people were starting to sense it as well. There were protests and boycotts, but nothing changed. The president, along with his cabinet of rich billionaires, did not care about the well-being of the citizens of Reach.
  • The beginning of the end

    This was the day that marked the beginning of the end. There was a protest outside of the president’s home in response to his recent actions. With his bad temper making his judgement calls, he decided to put out a kill order on those protesters. Little did he know that this would trigger the downfall of his dictatorship.
  • Citizens Uprising

    Citizens uprising was an event that was held in an underground to avoid any detection from outside guards that were on lookout for anyone outside during curfew. Since the country was in martial law they had no other choice. Citizens gathered together in secret to discuss plans of rebellion. They thought that change would come with protests but they realized that President Richard just doesnt care. So they have to take bigger action for better change.

They had thought that the protests would bring about change, but after a while they realized that President Richard just did not care. So, they had to escalate their actions in order to enact change.
