 If you're a new player, Reborn's setting can be somewhat daunting to get into. With a focus on allowing players to expand the world of Redistan, getting into the game now can be overwhelming as there is simply so much to learn.
 You should always ask someone in game to educate you on something if you don't know, especially the wealthy and gulean. They're well educated and often willing to share that knowledge. The tourists, especially.

 In 003BBC, Redistan, having now come close to depleting the forests of New Redistan, was sure to face a crisis. Without unending material to burn, The Cloud would surely break up! The horror of the blue sky above would reveal itself once more! With science being too slow to answer, there was only one choice. The disgusting emerald jungles of the filthy wine drinking, snail and cheese eating Greenslanders. The giant Greenslandian trees would be brought back and incinerated. The Redistanis had exploited the wood of the roots for so long. Now they could finally take the trunks. Whatever they couldn't take back, they would raze.
-Greensland was rife with vibrant Green foliage, rich Blue skies and clear, deep azure water. It was something out of a horror book. From the Redcoats army, a sizeable division of patriots willing to endure the torture of the blue sky were sent to reclaim the jungle for Redistan. With captured Blusnian tilt-rotors, now finally usable when not in an airspace of pure ash, the loyal 5th & 4th Volunteer Redistani Patriot Divisions made their way onward to a self-assured victory, flanked by napalm dropping Redistani tilt-rotors, flying low enough to trim the hedges. Typically neutral to both, sharing a border with the New Redistanis had made the Greenslanders paranoid. Decades of preparation and training for an invasion by an overwhelming force, as well as begrudging proxy support from the Blusnian government in the form of trainers and munitions, made the Greensland war go from a patriotic stomp to a devastating crawl through thousands of miles of infested jungle, both bug and frog.

 President Obluma was famously made to sign a Declaration of Total Surrender, '''WITH A RED PEN'''. He had saved his own life, as well as much of his cabinet's, at the cost of his people's sovereignty. Redistani troops marched for Blusnia as the period of occupation was set to begin. The fighting continued as dissident Blusnian platoons refused life under the Redistani boot and disregarded their leader's orders to surrender. In Greensland, the war continually looked worse and worse for the Greenslanders, as the Blusnian support quickly left and the munitions shipments dried up. Spirits were high in Redistan and New Redistan alike, as the Great Enemy had finally been conquered.

 PGT marked a new era of Redistani history. The former Redbournian Minister for Sanitation Quentin Brasser made an attempt on Lord Governor-General Redtwo Maroon III's life following a political dispute around sanitation service funding, horrifically disfiguring him in the process. Fleeing the Governor-General's manor, the 'Sewer Monster' (as he has become known) remains at large, abusing his knowledge of the labyrinthine Redbourne sewer system to avoid capture. His act has incited the rise of the so-called Brasserites, separatists who align themselves directly under his supposed cause. It is unknown what degree of control Brasser has over his so-called followers.
 An answer quickly came. A Redbourne Warmonger Rifle Company gala, held in honour of the Warmonger family, ended in tragedy as (presumed) Brasserites orchestrated a terror bombing. Colonel Michelangelo De Giuli, one of the nation's most tolerated Italians and the hero of the 042 Collective Bargaining Tragedy, perished in the massacre. Tolerant of differing opinions for too long, GREAT LEADER knew there was only one option left. WAR. Never again would a separatist be allowed to sleep soundly. Redlin, never again. The gala, never again. The Blusnians had it in their inhuman nature to torment and kill, and how much they could be blamed for it is a subject of debate, but the Separatist hordes? They've chosen this path. They've volunteered to forsake their humanity. Brasser will be brought to justice.

 A week and a half later, as the occupying forces got more and more out of control, looting from, destroying the homes of and murdering the Blusnians they had so long considered below them, a debate still fiercely raged throughout the halls of the Crimson Court, the seat of GREAT LEADER in THE CAPITAL. What was to be done with Blusnia? With former President Obluma in captivity, yet alive and a war that was thought to be impossible to win won, the nation's dreams had been achieved. It was a question that didn't need to be answered. No one is quite sure why it hadn't happened sooner, but that very day nuclear warhead equipped missiles erupted from their hiding places in the ground, destined for the now sprawling colonial cities of New Redistan. It is said the first Blusnian missile didn't even detonate, it simply crushed an orphanage. Retaliation was swift, but ultimately pointless. The occupying troops were told to find cover as Redistani warheads came hurtling towards them, but many refused, taking as many Blusnians with them as they could. Those whom could, retreated back underground, to the old country. For most, it was too late. For many, they didn't see the point of returning when they had spent their entire life above ground.
-Although New Redistan was lost, the Blusnian menace could once and for all be considered extinct. This was christened the '''Great Triumph''', a momentous occasion signalling the end of Eternal War with Blusnia.
+Although New Redistan was lost, the Blusnian menace could once and for all be considered near-extinct. The few that remained lived in Redistani captivity, handed out as party favours to Redistani elite or wheeled out for public torment.

 This brings us 44 years later, to the time of Reborn. GREAT LEADER lives, ruling Redistan righteously from THE CAPITAL in the western reaches of Redistan. Redistan still stands, but it finds itself in a state of turmoil. Without an external threat such as the Blusnians, a small minority of people find themselves questioning the harshness of GREAT LEADER's rule. These people are collectively known as Separatists. Most simply want to separate themselves from GREAT LEADER, form a Redistan of their own. Others, in the extreme minority, reject their Red identity entirely, pronouncing themselves to be the successors of the Blusnian state. Infighting is common amongst Separatists as they all have differing ideas on what they want to achieve. While small uprisings were common over the past four decades, it is only now that it has become problematic. A large scale uprising was attempted in Eastern Redistan two years ago and although it was extremely bloody for all sides involved, it ultimately failed. Last year, one of the Great Five Cities, Redlin, was reduced to rubble after months of fighting. Although it was thought the destruction in Redlin would have an adverse affect on many Redistani people, pre-existing conceptions about the city made most write it off as 'inevitable'. Regardless, the Separatist threat in Redistan is very much still alive and not to be underestimated.

It evicts all its poor people to the Spaghetto. Most people from here are the children of gules, grew up servicing them or were taken in as apprentices by bored retirees.
