2022: March 1st: 750 bombs are detonated within the space of three hours during the Shrove Tuesday Attacks. Churches and centers of government are targeted in Washington D.C., New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Tokyo, Mexico City, Sao, Paulo, Lagos, Bombay, Calcutta, Buenos Aires, London, Aberdeenshire, Sidney, Melbourne, and Canberra. Casualties in the United States include the President, Vice President, 132 Representatives including the speaker of the house, 45 sentators including the President pro tempore, the Secretary of State, the Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of Defense, the Attorney General, the Attorney General, and the Secretary of the Interior. Casualties in Great Britain include the Prime Minister, seventeen Cabinet Ministers, 317 members of Parliament, an Archbishop, 19 bishops, 106 Lords of the Peerage, King Charles and Queen Camilla, Princess Kate, Prince Phillip, and Prince Andrew. Prince William is badly injured and crowned King of England in a hospital in an undisclosed location.
At the time of the attacks, known only to a few dozen officials and members of the Royalty, Prince Harry was with Princess Emma at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN, where the princess was receiving a comprehensive CAT scan due to a preliminary scan which her private physician feared indicated the presence of a brain tumor. The Mayo finds no evidence of a tumor.
The period following the attacks is the most chaotic in modern times since World War II. The governments of the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia are dangerously destabilized. Factional local governments and vigilante militias conflict with hamstrung successional governments operating from secured locations. Sporadic bombings continue.

Titled "Most Dangerous Games," the paper suggested that political cronyism is leading the governments of the United States and the United Kingdom to ignore gathering threats from various governments with covert ties to terrorist organizations. The paper identified four of the seven governments with whom the allied forces are currently engaged. The Crown declines comment on the paper and the Royalist movement, but Oxford University confirms that it was written by Queen Em in 2015.
