<AP> This year has been a very unstable year within the Hall Nations. Many accounts of espionage have been taking place with many nations coming up with taken property and men. Halland had equipment taken, Sammyville reports a missing a soldier, Hallville has 3 soldiers in the hands of the enemy and one has been confirmed executed. This has started to take its toll on Hallville leaders as there has been rioting in the streets to to get the men back, but has not been able to. One of the most unspoken rules of engagement is at not time was property to be destroyed. Being that the line has been crossed, Hallville leaders have no choice but to back down its military regime. As of this morning, Hallville's president resigned, and the country's congress has decided to downsize the military to only defensive capabilities. Its military will only hold 500 active personnel, 1 tank division and supporting elements. The rest of Hallville's military will be sold and auctioned off. Hallville will no longer be participating in future Hall Nation joint military activities. Hallville will hold a new presidential election after the 1st of the year. Hallville is also now taking bids on military equipment that will be sold and auctioned. Later, a comprehensive list will be available of all equipment available.
