Description
THE WOMEN'S COUP The Republic of Nima starts witnessing national economic recovery, peace, stability and social justice by the revolutionary innovations of the leaders of The Last Coup. One of their revolutionary innovations which allows only the women of the revolutionary army to carry arms and turns the male soldiers into "land army", saddled with providing food for the nation seems to prevent the menfolk from thinking of further coups. Problem arises when the leaders of The Last Coup decided not to lift the marriage ban placed on the female soldiers. "The Return Wealth to the Masses Socialist Reform" angers the rich and in the midst of it, the female soldiers stage a coup. The Women's Coup completely revolutionises the life of the people of Nima. The Women Army introduces "Children's Security Brigade" made up of brilliant looking teenage Niman children, armed to the teeth. The Women Army turns government into a women liberation struggle in which the men have no right to speak. The Women Army introduces the "Philanthropic African Socialism Reform" which allows you to get as rich as you want provided you donate generously for the common good. The brilliant "Children's Security Brigade" sensing that if nothing is done the Women Army of Nima would return Nima back to square one, decides to stage Our Children's Coup which completes the trilogy.
