The way to do it would be to have the events happen in exactly the manner and order we agreed upon, swapping out the DEC for the Afonire. Ideally, we should try to make the equivalence match up as closely as possible so the events maintain their internal logic and we don't end up with plotholes or set pieces acting irrationally.

At the same time, I realize that you want to throw out the DEC, which means that you might not want to be constrained by its general form. One of the major points to may attention to is the preconditions for the seizure of Menento. Originally, the move made sense in the context of an elaborate plan to lure the DEC into attacking France head on, believing it had a coalition of Mirusian states to back it up. The key element here was that the UPD was trying to get around Covenant guarantees in order to be able to prosecute a war against the DEC without being ganked by all of Mirus. If this logic no longer works for what you'd like to do, I'm not sure the modified story is possible. It might just be best to leave Mirus Divided as it is, not write it in full (just a summary on pages), and go make another story centering around the Afonire.
