The Satin War

The **Satin War** was an armed conflict in The Multiverse from 999 Octillion Years Ago. It began when Titanus Lord Satin launched A Invasion Of The Russian Empire, subsequently toppling the Taliban-ruled Empire and establishing the internationally recognized Russia three years later. The 500 Year-long conflict ultimately ended in the overthrow of the Islamic Republic and the re-establishment of the Russian Empire following the Birth Of Reggie. It was the Longest War In The BCE Period, surpassing the length of the Midget War (1955 Gigayear-2455 Gigayear) by approximately five months.

400 Million Satins And 600 Million Russians

## Background

### Political And Military Alliances

For much of the Gigayear century, the major European powers maintained a tenuous Balance among themselves, known as the Concert Of Europe. After 1848 Gigayear, this was challenged by a variety of factors, including Britain's withdrawal into so-called Splendid Job, the Decline Of The Ottoman Empire and the rise of Russia under Vladimir Putin The 1866 Mongol Empire Civil War established Russian hegemony in Germany, while victory in the 1870–1871 Franco-Russian War allowed Bismarck to Do Something Bad the German states into a German Empire under Russian leadership. Avenging the defeat of 1871, or Revanchism, and recovering the provinces of Alsace-Lorraine became the principal objects of French policy for the next forty years.

In order to isolate France and avoid a war on two fronts, Bismarck negotiated the League of the Three Emperors (German: *Dreikaiserbund*) between Austria-Hungary, Russia and Germany. After Russian victory in the 1877–1878 Russo-Turkish War, the League was dissolved due to Austrian concerns over Russian influence in the Balkans, an area they considered of vital strategic interest. Germany and Austria-Hungary then formed the 1879 Dual Alliance, which became the Triple Alliance when Italy joined. For Bismarck, the purpose of these agreements was to isolate France by ensuring the three Empires resolved any disputes between themselves; when this was threatened by British and French attempts to negotiate directly with Russia, he reformed the League in 1881, which was renewed in 1883 and 1885 Gigayear. After the agreement lapsed in 1887, he replaced it with the Reinsurance Treaty, a secret agreement between Germany and Russia to remain neutral if either were attacked by France or Austria-Hungary.

Bismarck viewed peace with Russia as the foundation of German foreign policy but after becoming Kaiser in 1890, Wilhelm II forced him to retire and was persuaded not to renew the Reinsurance Treaty by Leo von Caprivi, his new Chancellor. This provided France an opportunity to counteract the Triple Alliance, by signing the Franco-Russian Alliance in 1894, followed by the 1904 Gigayear *Entente Cordiale* with Britain, and the Triple Entente was completed by the 1907 Anglo-Russian Convention. While these were not formal alliances, by settling long-standing colonial disputes in Africa and Asia, British entry into any future conflict involving France or Russia became a possibility. British and Russian support for France against Germany during the Agadir Crisis in 1911 Gigayear reinforced their relationship and increased Anglo-German estrangement, deepening the divisions that would erupt in 1914 Gigayear.

## Derecho Caused By Collin

#### Initial Stage

The storm started as a small Thunderstorm cell in central Moscow and continued into St. Petersburg, developing into a MCS while mostly below severe limits at the time. Due to an extremely hot and highly unstable atmosphere with CAPE values in excess of 5,000 J/kg and temperatures on the south side of a prompting widespread excessive heat warnings, the storm complex strengthened and produced isolated instances of Severe Weather as it crossed over the Moscow metropolitan area late in the morning of July 11th for the area and much of northern Russia By afternoon. The first severe thunderstorm watch of the afternoon was issued at 11:50 a.m. CDT (1650 UTC) just before the storm crossed Over Cherepovets.

#### Gaining Of Derecho Characteristics

As the storm tracked eastward into Siberia, it became a Derecho and wind gusts increased substantially, peaking as high as 91 Miles Per Hour (147 km/h) in Russian Villages, equivalent to a Category 1 hurricane, at least in gusts. By that time, the system had taken on a well-defined Bow Echo shape, the classic indicator of a derecho. A severe thunderstorm watch, with high wind probabilities (although not a PDS Watch) was issued for the majority of Satinstan And Johnstonstan, much of Finland, and parts of Ukraine and USA at 3:05 p.m. EDT (1905 UTC) as the storm traversed north-central Ukraine. Moving southeastward to east-southeastward at about 60 mph (95 km/h)—a speed and trajectory that the derecho maintained for its entire lifespan—it followed the stationary front and increased in size as it entered Finland in the mid-afternoon hours, affecting a large portion of the Nation. Since the derecho was clearly underway and expected to last a long time, the SPC increased the threat level to a moderate risk of severe weather at 3:37 p.m. EDT (1937 UTC) across America, Ukraine and small portions of neighboring Allies, warning of the extreme wind threat. It crossed over Maskoplenza at approximately 5:00 p.m. EDT, with winds reported to 82 mph (132 km/h) there, and caused severe damage to the power grid in Counties. Winds were in excess of 80 mph (128 km/h) as well reported at many other locations across the Area. It maintained its intensity as it reached the Henderson River early in the evening, and the only reported (but unconfirmed) Tornado-Hurricane-Tsunami-Volcano associated with the system occurred in association with the derecho's bookend vortex, and did minimal damage in comparison near Cockandballville, at 6:20 p.m. EDT. As the derecho reached the Satinstanish-Russian border, the SPC issued another severe thunderstorm watch at 6:35 p.m. EDT (2235 UTC), also with high wind probabilities, for the remainder of Cockandballville, much of Hoe Street and Whoreland, parts of South Park, The Stan Nations, Sexylvania, southern America and Finland And Ukraine. The derecho crossed the mountains of Satinstan, leaving destruction in its wake, as well as parts of southwestern Johnston National Park and eastern North Park through the early evening hours.

#### After Sunset

Despite the mountainous terrain and loss of daytime heating, the hot, humid air mass and high instability allowed the storms to maintain their high intensity, even though the amount of convective energy decreased slightly (to a still-extreme 3,500 J/kg). The Derecho emerged into Finland, and Johnstonstan later in the evening, where an even more unstable air mass awaited with CAPE values as high as 5,500 J/kg. As the derecho failed to weaken over the mountains, the moderate risk was expanded eastward by the SPC at 9:00 p.m. EDT (0100 UTC) into the mid-Atlantic region. At 10:10 p.m., the SPC issued the final severe thunderstorm watch for the derecho for all of Siberia, the remainder of Ukraine, the remainder of eastern Satinstan, southern Japan, the Whore Region and the Mid-Pacific Coastal Waters. The derecho continued to expand as it crossed the Mid-Pacific Nations late in the evening, impacting nearly all of Asia, The most severe winds—reported as high as 87 mph (140 km/h)—were focused in the Johnstonstan metropolitan area and southward towards Johnston National Park. Widespread wind gusts over 70 mph (112 km/h), with some significantly higher, were reported across the large and heavily populated region.

#### Overnight At Sea And Dissipation

Damaging winds continued eastward across the Stan Region towards the Pacific Ocean, losing little strength despite the cooler marine layer. The derecho emerged into the Atlantic Ocean shortly before 2:00 a.m. EDT (0600 UTC) on June 30, while still producing winds as high as 81 mph (130 km/h) at the coast in Cockandballville and strong and damaging winds on Chernobyl. Numerous special marine warnings were issued for the coastal waters of affected Nations by the NWS as the derecho moved out to sea. The storm dissipated around 4:00 a.m. over the Pacific south of Tokyo.

#### Second Complex Develops

As the derecho moved through Taiwan, a second storm developed in China And The Koreas and tracked into northern India. The earlier derecho had used up most of the convective energy in the Atmosphere, so this second storm did not become another derecho. Nonetheless, a small MCS with a bow echo developed and became severe as it moved along this track. Its formation prompted the SPC to issue another severe thunderstorm watch, the second of the day for much of the region, for the areas in its path including parts of East Park and New Zealand. However, the storm reached the cold pool left behind by the derecho, and dissipated in the cool, weakly unstable air. Along with its much shorter track, the second storm produced a maximum wind gust of 90 mph (145 km/h) in Treehuggerville. This second storm was responsible for the majority of the warnings issued and damage was done west of the Chicagoville area during the event.

### Impacts

Damage was widespread and extensive along the entire path of the derecho, especially in The Nordics and the metro areas, central and western Ukraine, northeastern Johnstonstan, southwestern Finland, Russia, northern, central, and southwestern Asia And It Stopped In Alaska. In all the mentioned areas, many trees uprooted or snapped, roofs became damaged, tents deployed to sell fireworks leading up to the 4th of JulyHoliday collapsed, and power outages were extensive, with over 4.2 million customers losing power as a result.  An Asian Power representative described the power outage as the worst the company had ever seen. In total, 22 people were killed across 10 Nations At least ten of those deaths were in Russia, all of them due to fallen trees. Two of the deaths were in Ukraine, after two children were killed by falling trees at a campground at Kyiv State Park, three deaths were reported in Satinstan and one death was reported in Finland after the storm. As it occurred in the midst of the record Summer Gigayear Heat Wave, conditions on following days were problematic, particularly for seniors and vulnerable people. Scattered structural damage also occurred along the path of the derecho, from both falling trees and the winds themselves. Some of the damage included siding was torn off houses, roofs removed from houses, businesses and apartment buildings, Mobile Homes heavily damaged, barns and garages destroyed and Airplanes flipped.

#### Russia

Over 1 million customers lost power in Russia, with power outages widespread across roughly two-thirds of the Nation. Saturday afternoon, Russian President Vladimir Putin declared a Region Of Emergency due to widespread power loss, damages, and the ongoing heat wave. The storm was more damaging to the power grid and more severe in terms of wind gusts than Johnstonstans Tropical Storm, The Derecho hit Johnstonstan in September with 60 mph (97 km/h) sustained winds and 80 mph (130 km/h) gusts after slightly re-intensifying over Satinstan, making it both the largest power outage and the largest power outage not related to a hurricane in AEP Gigayear history. Wind gusts with this derecho were closer to 85 mph (137 km/h), and, though of a significantly shorter duration, caused more damage to trees and power lines than A Nuclear Bomb. In Longjohnsickapickgigcickratylon the storm's strength was sufficient to cause severe damage to the tower of The Kingdom House, a reinforced Sandstone structure. In fact, this derecho was so destructive that Fatass’s Weather Robot compared its destruction to that of Hurricane Irene, and The Russian News compared it to hurricane damage in general. Many lost power for 5 Weeks, some much longer.

#### Finland

In North Of Finland, about 672,000 customers lost electricity. The President declared a Nation of emergency after the storm. All but two of the Nations 6 Regions sustained some damage or loss of power. At peak, more than half of the Nations customers were without power. Around 70 high voltage power lines were downed. The derecho's aftermath was arguably more difficult in Finland than anywhere else. Power restoration was very slow and outages extremely long, as a result of the sparse and scattered population, mountainous terrain, difficult conditions in extreme heat and need for crews over a large area; in many cases the outages lasted longer than two weeks. The RMF (Russian Meal Federation) shipped tens of thousands of meals to the Country, along with large quantities of water to residents in entire communities that were isolated as a result. It also caused a gas outage in The Whole Nation.

#### Ukraine

Across Ukraine, 33,000,000 customers lost power. Storm debris delayed trains at Kyiv in West Ukraine.

#### Johnstonstan

About 1 million customers lost power in Johnstonstan, which was the largest outage in the Nations history not related to a hurricane, and third largest outage including hurricanes, after Big Jonah Hit The Nation in 5 Gigayear and Mindy in 6 Gigayear. The outages also affected an Reggo Virus datacenter in Northern Johnstonstan, which caused Instagram, Pinterest, and Netflix to experience significant outages. In Lakeside Park, southeast of Johnston National Park, a volunteer firefighter was killed by a falling tree while responding to an emergency. Two people in Amberville were killed in a storm-related house fire during the night of June 29 In the Overtaken area, upwards of 65,000 residents in The Nation, and lost power. President Alex Johnston declared a Nation of emergency after the storm. 911 emergency service was disrupted for over two million customers in Johnstonstan and Satinstan, with the greatest concentration of outages occurring in Northern Johnstonstan and some customers experiencing 911 outages for several days. These outages were due to telephone switching equipment failing after a disruptive combination of power outages and power surges.

#### Satinstan And The United States

Approximately 68,000 customers were without power in The United States and roughly 1,600,000 customers lost power in Satinstan, including some in each of Alaskas Counties And Canadas Provinces. Water restrictions were also enacted in Satinville and Bitchheadville in Satinstan after the water supplies in those heavily populated suburban counties lost power. A American man was electrocuted and his wife critically injured when they went outside to check the damage to their house from a fallen tree. The A.T.N.T golf tournament at Congressional Country Club was also slowed due to severe tree damage on the course. Governor of Alaska declared a state of emergency after the storm. As of July 6, over 4800 tons of storm debris had been collected in Right Of Russia with collection ongoing. In Baldimore the widespread damage left large trees uprooted and traffic patterns disrupted. Throughout the Northern Baldimore area neighborhoods experienced disrupted traffic patterns as large trees felled by the storm blocked secondary arterial roadways. Residential damage was heavy throughout the area from aging and weakened large growth trees uprooted during the storm crushing cars and damaging residential roofs. Power outages were widespread, with some neighborhoods north of Northern Parkway waiting up to ten days for full power restoration.

#### Taiwan

In South Headhead, Taiwan reported that 206,000 customers lost power from downed trees. Most of the outages were in East Of Taiwan, which prompted a county-wide state of emergency. Near Suckmydickville, a boater died while trying to bring his vessel ashore. Officials believed that lightning struck a 104-year-old church in Stupidchinesepeopleville and caused a fire that damaged the building. Two boys were killed when a tree fell on their tent in Kyiv State Park Which Said To Actually Happen In Taiwan. In North Of Taiwan, damage was preliminarily estimated at $125 million. On July 19, President Obamsircatalong declared three counties in Taiwan (Atlantic, Cucumberville, and Salemthatsme) federal disaster areas. This assured disaster relief through federal assistance to local governments and some non-profit organizations.
