The Imperio Constitucional of Novo Wagondia You're right that indiscriminate atmospheric poisoning would very likely draw further countries into the war, and all but condemn the Bangui government/EWC to an all-fronts invasion by the rest of the world (at least the imperials could rely on neutral parties like the Timmies, Lucijans, and Formosans to varying degrees). From a canon perspective, it seems difficult to reconcile two existing truths about WW3: (a) that the war lasts several more years, until peace is negotiated in 2026, and (b) that the rebels not only prolong the war, but actually survive it as the Third Imperium, only being destroyed once and for all in the 2050s. For both to still happen, I imagine the Ravenwood government would have to exit the war entirely and focus on rebuilding, similar to how the Russian revolutionaries cut their losses during WW1 (Treaty of Brest-Litovsk). This would at least give the Bangui government enough breathing room to collect their forces and consolidate a reactionary bloc with puppet states like the Sassanids. The world would enter a new but no less gruelling phase of the conflict, as cities are liberated one by one and built back from the ashes. As isolated occupation forces would be overcome, the fighting would eventually be contained to Africa. Entente powers like Mamara and West Africa, already strained to breaking point by the war, would gradually wind down their commitments until an effective stalemate had been reached. Intermittent conflict between the Ravenwood and Bangui governments persist until the Treaty of Luanda is eventually signed, formalizing their separation but forecasting the ultimate midcentury showdown which would finally see the Orsonian world reunited. |
