The most difficult task now might be to avoid a civil war inside Latao, which is said shall be the common goal of all parties involved - but no one seems to know more in detail, so the real tensions of the parties and groups can't be verified.
The regular army forces seem to fall apart; obviously, some generals in command signed papers to send their soldiers home even before the formal surrender act. Latao does not seem to have a centralized coordinated defense anymore, but there are numerous smaller local battles against Starblaydi and Abbatoirian ships and troops.
As a result of the chaos, Latao is currently not being ruled by a central government, not even local authorities seem to do much to calm down the situation. We hear from several citities, that local authorities are prevented from doing their governmental work by angry crowds which do not want any members of the old regime back in office, while friends of the Omsec-government demand exactly the opposite. It's clear that these facts lead to a dangerous situation.
We have heard, that the government of Nedalia offered to hold an international conference for talks on Latao. Now now, it's not known and absolutely unclear who should represent Latao at all and if LAtao would even be invited to participate the talks on its future. The plans of the vanquishers are also unknown.
Our analysts think that possible options could look as follows:
a) Military Government
Though, this would mean to send troops inside Latao to take over control of cities, roads and finally implement governmental structures, which might be a bloody job with lots of losses, this could be an effective way to ensure something like stability and safety in Latao.
The big unknown factor in that scenario would be, how strong is the old regime still and how much resistance would there be against foreign troops ?
Temporary GovernmentSimilar to option one, this could be a less violent way to install new structures in Latao, but this option contains a number of questions. Is there any one who would be accepted by the vanquishers and would he have enough support and power to control Latao, at least until elections can take place ?
c) Restoring the “pre-Omsec” situation
Another possible scenario without being too violent is to restore the constitution as it was before Omsec came in control of the nation and applied his changes. In this era, Latao was quite a stable federalist democracy until the last government centralized many powers. But this option basically relies on the same factors as the second, as there must be a party or at least some strong enough group inside Latao that supports this idea and is willing to reactive the old, original constitution to hold elections at least for districts and cities/communities to probably then elect the national (federal) parliament and a new government later, in a second step.
Another question for all scenarios will probably be, what should happen to the army and the additional armed squads ?
