On March the things on the country dont look brighter for any side , both the anarchist and KSU forces have maintained an status quo in their fronts againts the goverment for over a month , trench warfare starts to become a thing very soon and all sides start to notice how the their casualties keep going up , the factories that once worked for the whole nation now focus in the production of weapons and ammunitions , the once mighty army of Kalpia is now split between warring factions , the intellectuals and great minds of the country are now disperse working alone , the nation that once was is no more .

Between the three factions the most succesfull in terms of popularity is the KSU which speechs about equality and the goverment of masses attract the population , they promise "Utopia" however they promise it for the future generations as the world is currently in flames , the war between the major powers started a war that made everyone afraid , every major power was involved and millions of persons were called to war , the KSU was firmly againts this and they said that the actions of all the great powers were deplorable and that one day the people would call for payback.The anarchist said that the war was the final failure of the state and that at the end of the war revolution would start and all the world would be finally free from the tyranical rule of the few , meanwhile the posture of the goverment was neutral they didnt want to be involved with any of those powers not in a time where they could absolutly nothing , the only time they gave their opinion about the war was when the casulties from both sides started to reach the tens of millions , they called it a tragedy to the whole civilized world.

Whoever the efforts of the population that supported any of sides were very high , as many times before the Kalpians showed their discipline and dedication to what they believed was right , what they believed would be a better future for them and for the whole nation , however while at that the population also suffered the hospitals became filled with wounded soldiers , the medical supplies started to lack by the end of the year and all sides started to focus on producing more medicines in order to put back the soldiers back into combat something that worked very well , some of the soldiers after the civil war narrated how the hospitals became places where you would die if the train with the medical supplies didnt arrive at time.

The generals and commanders from all sides showed good leadership and intelligence at making their moves , the war industry became very important and some intellectuals worked in creating new weapons instead of just producing the ones already in use , some designs were mass produced while others were just failed experiments , the war economy also hurt the nation as consumer goods started to decrease , which resulted in a inflation on the prices of the consumer goods something bad for the populaton as a whole , the population endured but their spirits were hit as the fathers and mothers had to sometimes to starve to let their soons eat something.

The year of 1916 is a painful one for the whole nation , the KSU wins some land againts the anarchist at the end of the year and the goverment manages to break the momentum of the KSU , the anarchist are now in a desesperate situation and they are approaching defeat .
