The turmoil they've long been accustomed to in that verdant, torn land is currently at a standstill. The secessionists have retreated into their burrows in the hills with deeply traced furrows written across weary brows and a wave of speculators has been tirelessly gobbling up rural plots, leaving a thick trail of incandescent slime in their wake as they slither back to their cliff-perched villas.
