Jan. '19: The war rages on as Clemson strengthens its grip on the Carolinas. The relentless Swinney Empire has usurped recruiting power from Atlanta, thereby placing Georgia's neutrality in question. Facing high unpopulary among his constituents, Smart has considered a truce with neighboring behemoth Alabama.

Meanwhile, battles traverse across the Great Plains. Texas has forged a temporary alliance with Oklahoma to defend Big 12 territory from the advancing Axis powers. The Longhorns and Sooners have been more successful as of late, as Alabama's puppet state, Texas A&M, relinquished its grip on parts of East Texas due to Alabama's defeat.

Auburn and LSU have signed a pact to do whatever possible to limit Tuscaloosa's bargaining power. Despite the lack of an LSU-Auburn land border due to Alabama's massive empire, the two have made of light of Alabama's recent defeat at the Battle for the Bay Area. Both Tigers have collaborated in clandestine operations within Alabama's domain, causing Chancellor Saban to act quickly. Having enjoyed a two-year undisputed reign over his Empire, Saban's authority over much of the South has fallen into question. Acquired territories, such as Ole Miss and Tennessee, may feel emboldened to gather their shackled brethren and rebel against the Alabama Empire.

Chancellor Saban is expected to give a speech in front of a crowd of thousands later this week to address the situation. The population fears air raids from Auburn may reemerge as a major threat. Many Alabamians have the infamous Iron Nacht of '17 fresh in their minds, as they realized they will not always be exempt from air raids from Auburn no matter their seemingly unstoppable defense.

On the Allied Front, Clemson has denied requests from minor ACC powers to convene at Vanderbilt for peace talks. In need of fresh recruits, it will hold these territories until further notice.
