The north and south ends of Illiguo are two different worlds.
To the south is Basra, the regional center, an important transportation hub, and a port city. It's home to the most crucial port in Illiguo, which is vital for oil exports and transportation, and thus the area is heavily guarded by coalition forces.
During the second Illiguo War, coalition forces first landed here.
After seizing the ports and airports, the US-led coalition forces unloaded their logistics and personnel, then, spearheaded by reconnaissance platoons, pushed towards the capital, Baghdad.
Initially planned for months, they unexpectedly captured all key cities in just 25 days and declared all military operations over after 42 days.
But there was a glitch.
Though the US Army announced the end of military operations, the security battle never ceased. Over the years, there were numerous attacks by armed organizations against coalition forces within the country.
