Whole villages, empty. Tribes decimated. Forests burnt. This is the reality that many faced when the sound of marching armies and thundering hooves ended across China. While the Saka had taken the most casualties by far, and entire armies were decimated, the Bao had not been left unscathed. Many thousands had been put to the sword or forced south or into Korea by the Nuudelski, and the Saka had burnt much of the Western Bao and some of the coastline. Many Bao migrated south to better lands along the fertile rivers of China but there still always seemed like too many mouths and not enough farmhands. With the constant threat and raids from the neighboring nomads and the lack of protection from them, as well as the existing population issue from the heavy losses in the first war, would cause serious issues within the Bao Dynasty. This would also happen within the Koreas, as refugees from the war poured into the kingdoms and they were left with thousands of hungry mouths and little options.

The nomads may have tried to talk a tough fight and keep up the impression of being a threat along the borders, in reality they were struggling in their own. They lacked the settled food surpluses that were common amongst settled peoples, and their heavy losses were more devastating. The Saka had also lost the majority of the food producing and population-supporting regions of their peoples, and this would make coming back from their losses very difficult. Their relative isolation from their many enemies would also not help, as surpluses and any needs from settled societies often were left on the wayside. Many of their leaders would continue to push for war and attempt to maintain the status quo, but all knew that things would maybe never be the same.

M: This is a crisis based off the previous war and the new war that has been declared. The Koreas, the Ssladir and Toko, have been hit by a refugee crisis as thousands of Imaqigun, Yangshao, and Bao flee from the Nuudelski into their lands. These people need sustenance, and they need it fast. (RP as necessary and will decide consequences from there)

The Bao Dynasty avoided some of the consequences by migrating from their less fertile lands into much more fertile lands in inner China, but they still lost many in Sarafraz's gambit through the North and the Nuudelski ravaging Qiajie and the coastline. They will be restricted to at most 3% of their pop in the upcoming war, and if heavy losses continue will have heavier consequences. RP may mitigate future consequences.

The Nuudelski, whilst involved, were very successful in the previous war and will inquire no consequences as of now. The Saka, however, lost almost all of their fertile lands as well as over half their armed forces that was their maximum size. They will be restricted to 2.5% of their population as an army in the next war and will incur more consequences if they continue to fight at max capacity. RP may reduce future consequences.
