The Sumatran Armed Forces Commander Muhammed "Whiskeyjack" Soeharto was having a lovely day. Maimun Palace was in ruins, turned out that coups were bloodier than they looked on TV. But, it had been a necessary affair, as far as he was concerned. For, the filthy communists who had formerly ruled the country had finally been toppled, and their place could now rise a proper government... under the guidance of the military, of course. And so, one report after another filtered in, as the military established its control around the country. It was time, for an announcement.

"The Democratic People's Republic of Sumatra is no more. The Republic of Sumatra now exists. That is all."
