Terror Alerts
As many are aware, the French government recently announced a raise in its
terror alert level from "Run" to "Hide". The normal level is "General
Arrogance", and the only two higher levels in France are "Surrender" and
"Collaborate".
The rise was precipitated by a recent fire that destroyed France's white flag
factory, effectively paralyzing the country's military capability
It's not only the French that are on a heightened level of alert:
Italy has increased the alert level from "Shout loudly and excitedly" to
"Elaborate military posturing". Two more levels remain, "Ineffective combat
operations" and "Change sides".
The Germans also increased their alert state from "Disdain" to "Dress in
uniform and sing marching songs". They have two higher levels: "Invade a
neighbour" and "Lose".
Seeing this reaction in continental Europe the Americans have gone from
"Isolationism" to "Find another oil-rich nation for regime change". Their
remaining higher alert states are "Attack random countries (ideally those
without any credible military)" and "Beg the British for help".
The British are also feeling the pinch in relation to recent bombings and have
raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved". Soon though, security
levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even "A Bit Cross". Londoners
have not been "A Bit Cross" since the Blitz in 1940 when tea supplies all but
ran out.
Terrorists have been re-categorized from "Tiresome" to "Bloody Nuisance". The
last time the British issued a "Bloody Nuisance" warning level was during the
Great Fire of 1666.
