AP News: It has now been over a month since Hallville returned the Halland soldiers. Many things happened leading up to the exchange. Hallville incorporated a new tactic to see how well it would work. Hallville experimented with psychological warfare for the first time. Leading up to the exchange, hallville showed massive possibilities that there would be a huge military movement into Halland. Halland bit on the premise and panicked. Hallville saw Halland running around trying to get support from other nations to help defend the "invaders". Hallville watched as troops and equipment were hurriedly deployed to possible target areas, as with pleading for support from The Hall Republic. 

   Hallville made the exchange with only 100 troops knowing that Halland would be too terrified to take any action. Even with the presence of small McDonaldland outfit, Halland bowed and allowed another military force to take presence on their soil. This is proof that the Halland Government is trembling at the thought of an all out war. 

   During this time there was also talks between certain nations, (that will not be named at this time), that there could be more nations joining the Hallsaw Pact. If this happens this could be huge in providing stability in the region. 

   Over the past few weeks there has been a lot of activity in the Hallville intelligence department. It seems that there might have been some covert operations taking place during the exchange of the Halland soldiers, and Hallville is encouraging all militaries present to take inventory of their men and equipment.
