Topic Summary

The year is 1900. A crushing government victory has decimated the liberal rebel forces led by Colonel Aureliano Buendía in the andean region. Still, the war is far from over. The Caribbean region remains in rebel hands, Venezuela is threatening to intervene in their favor, and the United States is protecting the isthmus from the destruction of war by watching closely.

Meanwhile, Vice-President José Manuel Marroquín took over the presidency after attempting a coup d’etat by allying with the Liberal elites. This alliance, however, did not end the war. He has stuck to his mission to restore conservative hegemony in the region, negotiate with foreign powers, and find a way to make Colombia great… or at least make it profitable again! In the process though, he has angered the liberal party and the rebels.

To solve this crisis once and for all, he created a special cabinet with generals, politicians, ministers and businessmen to find out if the best solution would be negotiating peace or crushing the enemies.

However, remember that in this Colombia, people can live for hundreds of years, the dead talk with the living, dreams become reality, and even yellow flowers occasionally rain from the sky. Delegates will have to fight through both the political implications of this crisis and the unpredictability of a country where magic and logic sometimes mix, but reality always prevails. Now, whether they save the fatherland or make it worse for their own gain is entirely…up to them.

This is a standard crisis committee.
