The decision to fight against the forces of the Hegemony in an arbitrary future global conflict was made at the creation of Dark Fist (on the 12th of November 2008). Military preparations for the conflict began very early in 2009, resulting in the build-up of many nuclear weapons and military wonders allowing many of our nations to fight very effective nuclear warfare against our enemies. During the 3–4 months prior to the war large warchests were built as well and specialised banking was dissolved in DF.
