Samchorage Leaves Confederacy
Consulplatz Treaty Full Ratified

At 10:01 PM on August 20, 2001, the President of Samchorage announced his nation would leave the Phoenix Confederacy and become a "neutral nation oriented towards peace". The development was greeted cooly by the Ethnarch of Rattanjeetland but no resistance was incurred. With the advent of the Zeradit War, the Ethnarch's passive approval formally ratified the departure as the rest of the Confederate political apparatus lay in ruins.

Samchorage's departure coincided with the formal final ratification of the Consulplatz Treaty, which ended the Zeradit War. A Marcusburg-mediated breakthrough overrode an impasse reached by the Lindsholm and Rattanjeetland delegates in the negotiations.

The developments signify the end of an era. With Samchorage's accession into the Confederacy, a series of events were sparked which caused the War of 2K1. With Samchorage's departure, the Zeradit War ends the Cold War period, which was sparked by the outcome of the previous war. All in all at the end of the day, one thing is certain - the Mapp has regained a measure of multipolarity in a new world.
