Tulipian Imperial Crisis

On August 8th, 2021, tensions rose astronomically as the countries of Tulipia and Kringal were gearing more and more towards war. Lunaris began to show support for Tulipia, and war got very close to a reality. It started because of Tulipian imperial expansion, and they wanted to completely annex Kringal, whom declined. Tulipia replied with a threat of invasion, which Kringal did not take lightly. An idea of Kringal being annexed by Friholm was thrown around. They quickly had an internal democratic vote between being annexed by Tulipia or Friholm. The results of said vote was that Kringal would be annexed by Friholm, effectively diffusing the idea of war, as Tulipia would not be able to sustain an attack against Friholm, so they never declared war. Tensions rose but never resulted in war.
