The collapse of [[Eddie Murphy]] had profound effects on its former alliance, the [[DUMP]].

The [[DUMP]]'s remaining active nations (at this time, [[Cortesia]], [[Monterrey]], and [[Blackwell]]) experienced strong pressure to develop rapidly and grow defensive capabilities, a pressure which remains in play to the present (5/7/2021).
