Liverpool Undead
It's another beautiful morning here in Liverpool. The sun is coming up and although the world is a little chaotic at least we all can enjoy the peace of everyday life. The year is 2018 but this is only the calm before the storm.
Rules: Warning this game will be rated M for mature due to the following- violence, blood and gore, moderate language, drug and alcohol references. Inappropriate language is to be expected but not overdone, also your romantic lifestyle if at all any should be PG:13. Thank you.

BBC reporting on past and current events:
Russia:
Russia has continued to grow its stockpile of weapons to that greater than what they had during the cold war. Following the Annex of East Ukraine many believed tensions would settle down, unfortunately they have not. Within the last couple of months Belarus voted unanimously to be annexed as well and Russia is currently in the process of absorbing the country into itself. Despite sanctions that are still against it in full force by the U.S. and the EU the Ruble hasn't fell since 2015. Vladimir Putin continues trade with the China, many fear that Russia is ready to abuse its economical and military success.
The United Kingdom:
The UK voted to stay in the EU, however UKIP is demanding a second referendum because the vote was 48% to 52%. This is seen as unlikely since the Labour party is in power and has a coalition with the Scottish National Party, The Green Party and Sinn Fein. Jeremy Corbyn is Prime Minister.
The United States:
After a tough primary in 2016, Donald Trump and Hilary Clinton fought for the white house. The victor was Donald trump, although he has helped turn the US into an economic powerhouse he threatens China and Russia repeatedly with harsher sanctions, many feel he is suturing the pot too much. The U.S. has ground forces in what the media has dubbed "Iraq War 3" rather than it's name of "Operation Protecting Freedom".
The Middle East:
Saudi Arabia used ground forces to restore the Hadi government, however they are still fighting a war against the insurgency, simply due to the damaged caused by the air campaign. Syria collapsed and is now a failed state with many groups fighting each other. Assad abdicated and fled to Russia, while a military government controls what's left of the government while ISIS and the FSA continue fighting. ISIS does not control any land in Iraq, as the United States kicked them out. The U.S. has avoided invading Syria as to avoid an international incident. The U.S. intervened when it was clear that Baghdad was going to get assaulted. ISIS still carries out suicide bombings and terrorist attacks within Iraq, stronger than what Al-Qaeda ever did.
