I forgot to mention that the guy I was fighting messaged me to say it was a good fight, but that it was just a "war experiment", and that he'd be deleting the nation now. I'm not sure whether I buy that, or if I just crushed him unexpectedly and he started over. lol
In any case, it'll take me several days to get out of anarchy, but we're on the road to going back to being a typical shitty third-world country.
