It won't be long until the nation goes through major changes. The National Assembly Election is in 2024, will this be the beginning of the end for the SNS and a democratic Serbia?

In the mist of this tension, some extremist far-right parties have been gaining popularity, most notably the SPAS, who has now tilted far beyond their values in 2020. At the meantime, the situation in Europe is becoming more and more unstable. Can Serbia pull itself together? Or will Serbia crumble like it's European comrades?

Turn V: 2026

As the SPAS gain more and more power, having reformed itself to the Serbian National Party, supporters of the SRNS are protesting against the disasters that happened last year. The parlimentary elections next year has only deepened division in this country, and society is beginning to fracture to many smaller groups of like-minded people. With racism and political violence widespread, would this be the end for the SNS?

Turn V: 2027
 Situation in 2027 for Serbia:  2027 is the start of SPNS's rise to total control over Serbia, as they won the Presidental Election in 2027. As soon as he gained power, Sapic immediately began to oppress the freedom of speech and sent military units to Kosovo, while simultanously also enforced martial law, and arresting any dissendants.
