The Eschaton debacle (p. 332)

quote

SOVWAR’s Premier Peterson and Air Marshal Kittenplan, carrying their white janitorial stockpile-bucket between them, walk across Europe and the Atlantic to parley with AMNAT President Chu and Supreme Commander Possalthwaite in what looks to be roughly Sierra Leone. Various territories smolder quietly.

Context

The peace summit that dooms everything: the two super-Combatants' leaders physically stroll across the map's Europe and Atlantic to meet in West Africa. The scene's quietest map/territory joke — bodies traipsing over oceans in three steps — and exactly the traipse Ingersoll will exploit as having made Sierra Leone a "de facto SSTRAC." "Various territories smolder quietly" is the game's whole ontology in four words.
