It's a sad day for managed democracy: the President of Super Earth is dead. The 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Helldivers 2 community is still coming to terms with this shocking news, some posting jokes, some vowing to defeat the Illuminate invaders, and some doubꦏting the legitimacy of these reports entirely.

An in-game report reads: "The President of Super Earth has been killed in action b🐓y the Illuminate during the siege of Prosperity City." An earlier version mistakenly wrote "fall of Prosperity City,𓆉" causing some to believe game master Joel is already preparing for the city's eventual demise.

Prosperity is the capital of Super Earth, located in Sweden, where developer Arrowhead is based. It seemed like the most ob𒀰vious location for a final stand, but it seems everyone underestimated everyone's l🎃ove for Equality-on-Sea.

Located in China, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:a concerted effort by Chinese players means Equality is faring far better than Prosperity and will likely be the last bastion of humanity. Although some players have been 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:review-bombing the game due to Equality not being completely saved yet.

Over on the Helldivers 2 ♎subreddit, people are sharing messages of sympathy and grief. "Nooooo I voted for him (well, my bot voted for him but), Mister President whyyyyy?" one devastated ci🧔tizen. The gender of the President is never explicity stated in-game and is deliberatly left ambiguous, so that everyone can see themself represented in and led by our glorious leader.

"Oh no. We weren't rad enough dudes to save the president," another, blaming themself. Don't cry though, the President died va𝓀liantly. The official report reads: "The President died heroically, defending the Presidential Security bunker with only a pistol against waves of Illuminate foes."

Some are even suggesting this is fake. "I'm not saying false flag but that flag is false," one concerned patriot. "The Illuminate have taken over the news system," another, echoing past concerns about 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Illuminate interference.

And don't worry about the future of Super Earth. "Presidential authority has been placed in the Minister of Defense." Managed democracy will endure, as long as the bugdivers and squiddivers can come together to complete the latest Major Order.
