Today the government of Utopia reported that its troops successfully repelled an attack on its capital city by soldiers from the neighboring country of Anarchy. The surprise attack caught Utopian troops off-guard because a ceasefire with Anarchy had been negotiated the day before. However, it was also reported that Utopia had placed its own troops on Anarchy's border in a surprise attack of its own. Representatives from both sides are scheduled to meet today to try and settle their differences, but success seems unlikely. Meanwhile, Utopian citizens marched against their own capital, insisting that their demands be met. The Utopian government promised to consider meeting those demands.
