A building complex is situated within the region, serving as the headquarters of the Northern Axis Treaty Organization, several flags of the member nations suspended on poles standing side-by-side outside the complex.

"Now that most of the members are present, it seems best to begin. Starting with the current predicament." A Norwegian man said, the secretary-general of NATO.

The council began with the most urgent matter at hand, the event, which would've been described as cosmic, that virtually severed all connections with all other nations and their own satellites. What's more would be the fact that many Airliners, Ships, and a large number of individuals originating from each central country.

And the fact that much of the individuals were tourist or travelling citizens of their respective nations, and all other individuals that were not of Nationality to any of the central countries accommodated within the aircraft and sea vessels reportedly disappeared.

And the biggest find would be that their borders with the eastern nations now border the sea, the rest of Asia's landmass had disappeared entirely.

Each Nation Leader had little to no clue on how to explain the occurrence, other than A 'groundbreaking phenomenon', However many continued suggesting it must've been communist Siberia or a terrorist group that obtained a super weapon of sorts. But it is practically impossible since they were the ones that disappeared, save for a few minor groups.
Overall what transpired and the current meeting conducted raised more questions than answers. However one female, the Prime Minister or 'Führer' of Germany, eventually raised her hand after the chatter died down.
