Naverechniyan Civil War

Background
In the week leading up to the war, tensions rose between Vsevograd and Petersburg due to the perceived authoritarianism and misrule by the former in an event called the Petersburg Secession. As longstanding allies of Naverechniya, the Valdreach Imperial Republic and Etscharien quickly declared their support for the Loyalists when war was declared on the Petersburgers, as did Ardat Mosul. The Western Host was the only nation that openly declared for Petersburg initially. However, in the day before the battle the accusations of misrule by Comrade Max were released, saying that he had actually fabricated his casus belli and exaggerated the alleged crimes of the Petersburgers, led by runner985. This led Valdreach to switch sides, and the other nations that were supporting Vsevograd either backed down or switched sides as well. Throughout all of this, the Loyalists attempted to negotiate a peaceful resolution to the conflict, but the Petersburgers felt that the demands given by Comrade Max were too extreme, causing negotiations to break down.

Naverechniyan Side
The Naverechniyans believed that runner985's secession was too sudden and brief to be legitimate. Runner had not listed grievances, and had done nothing but harrass Max. Naverechniya only accused Runner of misconduct. So, the nation was on edge with Petersburg, but didn't mind too much as it wasn't a big deal. A while later, after "'personal shit I'd rather not get into' -Comrade Max," Max issued a warning to not tear the terrain/beaches up in the territory surrounding and claimed by Naverechniya. After issuing many warnings, Naverechniya declared war on Petersburg. They called in their allies and prepared for what was to be a decisive victory. The next day, Runner985 had "lied" (speculated) to Naverechniya's allies and had gotten them to switch sides. Following this, Comrade Max began negotiations for peace. Runner withheld negotiations because Max was "Untrustworthy." The Naverechniyans fled instead of staying to fight an already lost battle.

The March
At 7pm EST on October 11th, the war officially began. Petersburg and their allies marched into Vsevograd to find it totally deserted, as Comrade Max and the Loyalists had taken their valuables and fled the city. The Petersburgers and allies took what they wanted from the city's stores, before returning to Petersburg.

Aftermath
Many of the Loyalists fled to Etscharien in the immediate aftermath of the war. After brief negotiations, the people of Petersburg elected to join the VIR as a Territory.
