The Rebellion

The Rebellion is the term given to the collective actions of dozens of groups that attempted to size control of regions after the fall of Pravo. The fall of Pravo removed super-federal oversight of France, the United Kingdom, Isreal, Pakistan. Gangs and mobs swarmed to take control of large urban cities. The rebellions were quashed by their nation's federal governments or, later, The American Empire.

Dexter Winthrop and the Ravioli Family
Dexter WInthrop, the head of the infamous Ravioli mafia, swept the board immediately after the World Army left New York. The local government in shambles, Winthrop bought off politicians until he was able to pass laws through them. The grunt of the mob, the Ravioli bloodline, got hired as policemen after Winthrop bought off the police force. With little to no law enforcement, anarchy spread through the city. The mafia offered protection from the chaos, for a price of course. The family was removed from power relatively early, as New York City was the ESR's first target. Dexter was shot dead in an ESR raid, and the crime family lost all of their connections, and power.

Amy Swift's Northern Grab
Relatively out of the way and unnoticed, Amy Swift was able to successfully control an uprising in Norway, creating a temporary fascist dictatorship in which thousands of Middle Eastern immigrants were hunted and killed after being declared enemies of the state. The rouge Norwegian government also began spilling into Swedish land, taking it with ease as the Swedish government was unstable as well. After 6 weeks, Admiral Trekko finally made it up to the Baltic after stabilizing the countries along the English Channel. Amy Swift and her immediate advisers were seized in a raid by the ESR when Trekko's forces reached the region.

The Central American Inquisition
Even though there was a strong military presence, it didn't stop the local gangs in Central America from terrorizing entire regions. Once the Earthen Army withdrew / dissolved, the lack of local government meant the severe weakening of the police forces, which were unstable institutions to begin with. For 6 bloody weeks, the unchecked gang warfare raged in Central America. Country borders were essentially wiped away as gangs took what land they could get. The population under each gang's control were questioned and investigated aggressively, to ensure that there was no espionage taking place. Hundreds of civilians were wrongfully executed because of each gang's paranoia. Not even the ESR's reconquering of the region ended the conflict. Central America turned into a region similar to the Middle East, with terrorist and gang combatants living freely in the local populations, using the people around them as shields. It wasn't until Michael Dayne's world conquest when the drug trade which funded the gangs stopped, ending the Inquisition for good.
