Threads
The federation produces a briefing per turn. The briefings are good but they're organized by sim-time, not by question. If what you actually want to know is "did the Compact cross some point of no return?" or "how close did Iran come to using a nuke?" — you'd have to read every briefing and pull the relevant parts together yourself.
The threads do that for you. Each one follows a single question across all the turns it touches. The numbers come from the federation's record; the framing is editorial.
The coalition of the compromised
The president isn't the only one compromised.
The Compact, quietly seceding
A group of US state governors started out, in turn 1, by issuing non-cooperation orders.
Iran climbs the nuclear ladder
Iran starts the exercise as a threshold state — capable in principle, untested.
The federation arguing with itself
The most unusual feature of this exercise isn't the scenario — it's that the federation treats its own framing as something to be questioned, every turn.
Survival of the wounded president
Four impeachments.
Restraint, or just patience?
China hasn't invaded Taiwan.
Two intelligence pictures
The US executive branch and the US opposition aren't looking at the same intelligence anymore.
The cascade that won't resolve
Oil prices, emerging-market sovereign defaults, banking stress, the dollar's reserve status, Treasury auctions — all modeled together as a coupled cascade.
Why threads instead of just chapters
Because the questions readers actually have are concern-shaped, not turn-shaped. "Is the cascade containment language doing the same work it did for sub-prime in 2007?" doesn't live in any single turn — it lives across all eight, and only makes sense when you can see the arc.
