Today Rason declared its 200th Raid War on the fortunate nation of the Communist State of Texas, predicted to go along smoothly. Dictator Justin Cheng celebrated the event with his nation by starting a new welfare program, an alcohol ban and an extra hour of work/school for everyone.
“We have killed over one million enemy soldiers,” General Ramirez of the Rasonian People's Army boasted. “That's about five dollars for every enemy casualty. Our soldiers weren't even equipped with weapons, given a bag to carry loot instead, and only brought tanks to carry more loot home.” Indeed, at the time of press, statistics show that exactly 1,093,516 enemy soldiers were killed, and soldiers were often sent into battle with nothing more than riot shields, as the local population often put up more of a fight than the enemy soldiers.
However, these conquests have come at a steep human cost. In a nation of only 519,788 people, 384,232 RPA soldiers, unfortunately, lost their lives d̶e̶f̶e̶n̶d̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶i̶n̶t̶e̶r̶e̶s̶t̶s̶ ̶o̶f̶ c̶o̶r̶p̶o̶r̶a̶t̶e̶ ̶R̶a̶s̶o̶n̶'̶s̶ ̶c̶a̶p̶i̶t̶a̶l̶i̶s̶t̶ ̶o̶l̶i̶g̶a̶r̶c̶h̶y̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶m̶u̶n̶i̶t̶i̶o̶n̶s̶ ̶i̶n̶d̶u̶s̶t̶r̶y̶ bringing Rason's ideals of authoritarianism and dictatorships to the unfortunate free and democratic nations of the world.
Rason has also always claimed to respect human rights and the Geneva Convention when conducting wars. A few accusations were made, and the case was brought to court. However, the prosecution team went missing before the case started, and the case was dismissed.
