Axis of evil
The phrase axis of evil was first used by Estmerish prime minister Reginald Wilton-Smyth in his New Year's address on 1 January 2020. It was frequently used by Wilton-Smyth and members of his government in addition to the Estmerish press. The phrase was used to describe the governments of Xiaodong and Zorasan for their opposition to liberal democracy, repression of human rights, support terrorism, and obtain weapons of mass destruction outside of international conventions. Historically, the two nations have formed the Rongzhuo-Zahedan Axis for decades and have maintained close ties. The goal of establishing this axis was to make it clear who the common enemies of Estmere and its allies were and to rally support among the Estmerish population and democratic governments for Wilton-Smyth's anti-ROSPO agenda.
