Goblin War

The Goblin War, commonly know as the UCS-Askonia War, is a conflict that is currently between the Second United Crowns of Syltör and the Goblin Empire of Askonia/Norfthorn in Syltör.

New Continental Directive
On June 19th, 2023, the nations of Andorn, Bardonia, United Crowns of Syltor, and the Nandor Confederation (seceded by Askaru Federation) agreed to an inter-regional full military alliance between each other in the event of a offensive or defensive war.

Norfthorn-Askonia Union
On August 11th, 2023, the Goblin Empire of Askonia and Norfthorn would unite under the "Extreme Syltor Politics" Agreement into the Union of Greater Norfthorn.

Norfthorn War Rumors and Disputes
Throughout July 2023 and August 2023, the United Crowns would obtain information stating that Norfthorn was in preparation to attack and war the United Crowns. Additionally, the United Crowns would state that the Goblins of Askonia were intentionally expanding their capitol city in order to seize Crownland Territory along their border.

Declaration
On August 31st, 2023, The United Crowns declared war on Askonia and called in the New Continental Alliance and the Etcharian Empire into the war justifying that Norfthorn had intentions to war and attack the Crowns and Askonian encroachment onto the northern border as key values in the declaration.

Reactions
The declaration of war and the subsequent enaction of the Continental Directive by the UCS had mixed reactions in some member states (notably Andorn and Bardonia) from minority opposition or objectors who were outspoken against supporting the war or supporting UCS itself.

Andorn
Bingo von Kendal was allowed to serve for Askonia instead of Andorn as a conscientious objector in fighting with the United Crowns with no repercussions. Andorn citizens who had previous relations with Askonia were also offered the chance to choose who they will be fighting for with no repercussions.

Bardonia
A minority faction of Bardonia criticized supporting the United Crowns in the war due to historical tensions between the two nations prior to the Syltor Continental Alliance.

Battle of Goblin Town
The Battle of Goblin Town is planned for September 9th, 2023.
