An initial inquiry into the August 10 bombing returned with inconclusive results, prompting Bangkwok to spearhead another inquiry. However these efforts were stalled when Herwan refused to cooperate, calling into question the integrity of the inquiry. Herwanese officials cited the distinct possibility that the inquiry may find the wrong country responsible.

On September 3, 2005, the Principal Councillor of Octavton ordered Herwan to cooperate with Bangkwok's re-inquiry efforts. Faced with no response, an anxious Octavian administration sent spies into Herwan and Zimbabmei to conduct their own investigation. The next day these spies were caught and the Principal Councillor issued an explanation. Although clearly annoyed, the Herwanese and Zimbabnese chose to overlook the transgression.

To circumvent intransigence, Bangkwok chose to approach the Great Powers to obtain permission for a second Congressional inquiry. On September 7, Forum Resolution 31 was passed in which the Great Powers unanimously supported what has become known as 'the Bangkwok Bill'.

On September 11, the shocking results of the second inquiry were released. The next day Zimbabnese officials released a damning statement charging Octavton for planting evidence in their country so as to frame it. The Principal Councillor responded by issuing a press release announcing the declassification of Octavian intelligence records for the world to see.

Meanwhile the Hongolian President of CP has put forth Forum Resolution 32, calling upon the Great Powers to slap an economic embargo on Zimbabmei for its actions.
