Another year, another celebration of socialism and unification. Yet there's something aloof. It's quite clear that Xsampa hasn't fully healed from the Bargas Chenpo. Even during these celebrations, there's an underlying hint of anguish and despair. Sure, Metz-Leonid has been rebuilt but the nation still hasn't recovered. Many survivors are left with PTSD, the entire nation has been traumatized and many Xsampans are left with a fear of the future. Despite the states best efforts to cultivate hope, that is easier said than done.

Yet, despite this onslaught of despair, there are still those who have looked to help their comrades. Empathy has become more and more common across the nation as many have looked to support one another in healing. Whether it be mutual aid, mental health counseling or other avenues of support, many Xsampans have taken to support each other in healing. This has lead to stronger calls for reforming the welfare system, based on a new outlook. An empathetic outlook. Many Xsampans have shown support those who were previously neglected, believing that the Bargas Chenpo has shown that empathy is not something that can be ignored. The nation coming together to rebuild Metz-Leonid has shown that empathy has its place in Xsampan society and is just as vital as any other aspect of society.

Alongside this, the effects of the Bargas Chenpo have left a strong majority of Xsampans extremely hostile to nuclear energy. After all, it only makes sense as the Bargas Chenpo has shown what it's capable of. Never again. The Xsampan public has remained extremely hostile to anything remotely related to nuclear energy. Nuclear weapons? Even if it were possible, many Xsampans have denounced and rejected the possibility, believing that Xsampa should take steps to encourage the world on rejecting nuclear weaponry in its entirety. Nuclear power plants? While not militaristic, it is still heavily denounced by the public with many skeptical and fearful.

But, the Bargas Chenpo has also left another effect. Pacifism. All across the country, many Xsampans have shown support for reducing the military budget, reinforcing the Last Resort Doctrine and committing to non-aggression. And who can blame them? Xsampa has experienced the horrours of nuclear war firsthand, and it's shown how quickly a normal war can escalate. Never again can Xsampa, or any nation endure a tragedy akin to the Bargas Chenpo. Even in the Supreme Council, many representatives have begun to debate the merits of reducing the military budget. While there are those who believe that the military should be supported, even they have had to admit that the military should focus on non-aggression and security instead of hostility and aggression.

Local Committee's have even reported on showing support for teaching pacifist values to remember the Bargas Chenpo in schools. This is especially true in Karoboro as many schools have sought to teach students about the Bargas Chenpo, it's effects and emphasize pacifism and empathy. With the Memorial to the Victims of Nuclear War receiving more and more visitors from across the country, Xsampan society is starting to acknowledge the effects of the Bargas Chenpo and try to heal for good. 

Despite the anguish, there is hope. The reconstruction of Metz-Leonid and the Red-Green Revolution has lead many Xsampans to believe that there is some hope in a post Bargas Chenpo world. A hope for a better future. While there is despair and anguish, there are also Xsampans looking to build a better future, an empathetic pacifist future. Not just for Xsampa, but the entire world. Xsampa will never forget the Bargas Chenpo. But it will not give into the cycle of violence. There is a better world awaiting. But it requires healing and that will take time. Alot of time. But as long as there are Xsampans who believe in a better future, it is possible and Xsampa can heal. Xsampa can present a future for itself. One of empathy, pacifism and humanitarianism. While grief and anguish is still widespread, there is hope for a future. A better future for Xsampa, defined by empathy, mental health support, pacifism, humanitarianism and hope.
