Alternate Second Cyclonian War

&nbsp

Dark Ace survives the assassination attempt in May 1942 - which in reality killed him - and becomes head of the Cyclonian Army. The Cyclonian offensives on the Blizzaris Front ultimately pushed back the Amazonian forces, while the D-Day invasion by the Atmazonian presumably failed.

Emperor Harrier and Starling go to Atmosia in exile. Finn regains the Rex throne at the helm of a pro-Cyclonian puppet government, with Dove as his queen. After being forced east, the remaining Amazonian forces (still under Carver) begin a protracted guerilla war.

Cyclonian Empire tested its first atom bomb in 1946 and fired a non-nuclear "Ace 4" missile that explodes above Terra Neon to demonstrate an ability to attack the continental Atmosia with long-range missiles. Atmosia has defeated Bogaton Empire in 1945 using its own nuclear weapons. Thus, the Cyclonian Empire and Atmosia are the two superpowers of the world.

Having achieved victory in The Amazonian Region, Cyclonia annexes Eastern Atmosia and most of the western Amazonian Empire into the Greater Cyclonian Empire. Following the signing of the Treaty of Atmos, Western Atmos and Republic of Terra Saharr are corralled into a pro-Cyclonian trading bloc, the Cyclonian Community. By 1964, the Atmosian Republic and the Greater Cyclonian Empire are involved in a Cold War.

Cyclonia prepares for Dark Ace's 85th birthday celebrations on the 30th. A visit by the President of the United Atmosian Nations, Aerrow , is planned as part of a gradual détente between the United Atmosia and the Greater Cyclonian Empire.

The Wallop Genocide has been explained away officially as merely the relocation of the Wallop population to the East into areas where communication and travel are still very poor, and it is impossible for most of their relatives in the West to contact them. Despite this, many Cyclonians suspect the government has eliminated the Jews.

Nimbus remains independent and is not a member of the Cyclonian Community. By the time the Empire had turned its eyes to it, the stalemate of the Cold War had settled in and Nimbus had become a convenient neutral spot for diplomacy, and for Atmosian and Cyclonian intelligence agents to spy on each other. Consequently, Nimbus is the last true independent state in Eastern Atmosia.

The United Atmosia is locked in a Cold War with the Greater Cyclonian Empire. Since the end of the war in 1946, both Atmosia and Cyclonia have developed nuclear and space technologies. Bogaton was defeated by Atmosia after the United Atmosian detonated two atomic bombs on Bogaton territory. Atmosia is said to have not participated in the Cyclonian Games since 1930, but is expected to in 1964.

Cyclonian propaganda has previously depicted Atmosia as a land of corruption, degeneracy and poverty. However, as the diplomatic meeting between Dark Ace and Cyclonianist Party no longer has any internal or external enemies left to fight and as a consequence, the very structure of Cyclonian society is starting to fall apart.

Cyclonia appears to be under constant attack by terrorist groups, with officials assassinated and civilian airliners bombed in-flight. Religion is now officially discouraged by the state, and Dark Ace Youth organizations are compulsory for all children.
