Burgamerian Civil War

The Burgamerian Civil War is an ongoing armed conflict in the country of Burgamere. The war started in 226 TE, due to the uprising of a monarchist movement within Burgamere, at the time Vladistan, led by Lox, who wished to regain power after he was removed from his rank as chairman of the Burgamerian state.

In the first half of the conflict, the nations involved were the Union of Vladistan (UBSR) and the Kingdom Of Councils on one side, with the opposing Valondor, Grand Castell-Llozhar, and the Parahands group on the other supporting the rebel states of Luscovy, Dun Draigath, Jagody, Drevnygrad, and Vykarth, who wished for the establishment of a Monarchy under Valondor.

In the second half of the conflict, the nations involved were the State of Burgamere on one side, with the opposing Luscovy (now fully independent), and Parahands group on the other side.

First Half
The Battle of Issar was a major engagement that occurred during the early stages of the war which didn't directly involve the Vladistan army, as it was part of the Greater Valondor-Tortuga war to which the state of Burgamere had no direct relation to. The battle ended in a Luscovian victory. It is debated whether the battle is considered part of the Burgamerian civil war due to the lack of an official participation of the Vladistan Union. Yet, the Burgamerian Leadership and its Crimson Army fought against Luscovian and Valandori armies during in the Battle.

In 231 TE, a Diplomatic incident that occurred where the Burgamerians gave asylum to the political Refugee, Coolikai Bonefirous. Who was responsible for an attempted Proletariat coup on Alamayn. This act broke down relations between the Two. This led Alamayn giving Financial Aid to the Luscovian Coalition.

The First Battle of Duragrad, (recognized by the Vladistani government officially as the first battle of the war), involved a single division of the Burgamerian Crimson army and the support of the Mercenary group known as The Goons. These forces faced against the combined arms of the Valondori Military, and Grand Castell Llhozar troops, and The Parahands, who had previously fought the Vladistani army in the same city during the Grand Castell-Burgamere conflict which had earlier caused significant damage to the city. Reports from remnants of the Burgamerian Commisariat of Internal Affairs state that this first battle had little damage on what was left of the city as the massive industrial sector had already been evacuated before the battle. During the battle, the coalition ultimately overran the Vladistani Troops, resulting in their defeat. It is recorded that the casualties on both sides were immense.

In 238 TE, the Second Battle of Duragrad began. Having accepted the loss of the city, and with several evacuation plans already in place, Burgamere merely deployed a few volunteers who wished to fight for the city. With the massive size of the coalition armies, they put up against a battle that would ultimately be a last stand. Unable to hold the city, the Burgamerian forces were defeated. After the total destruction of Duragrad (now Lilygrad). The leader of Burgamere, E_WM, fled the region into parts unknown, while all other High Council members condemned his reign. The 4th UBSR was dissolved, establishing what seemed to be a total victory of the monarchist forces in the war. Most remnants of Vladistan were soon annexed by Avertico and later sold off to the Grand Kingdoms Of Luscovy.

Second Half
After being annexed by Luscovy, E_WM returned to the region and, along with Anonymus, Clone3A7, and Disciple, established a Warlord Clan with the aim of toppling of the Luscovian Regime and once more bringing back the UBSR. Under this new warlord system, a number of gains were made, leading to Lox stepping down as ruler. Towns such as Vykograd, Nevado, Crescada, and Stadt (now Istmark) joined the Burgamere warlord clan, showing that the civil war that was once thought to be over still persisted. A Guerilla War campaign against the nearest of Luscovy's states, Dun Draigath, began, which was later dubbed the "Draigath Spring Operation", ending with a decisive Burgamerian victory. After this series of victories, the Burgamerian Loyalists declared themselves a 5th UBSR, swearing to destroy Luscovy. During this escalation of the war, violent clashes and raids between Luscovians and Burgamerian Loyalists became more common. Soon, the new ruler of Luscovy, Dr. Frog, supported by her forces, marched on the town of Morskaya Bay in 266 TE, ending in a total Burgamerian defeat despite their efforts to utilize the pharaohs curse. Fjollin, in turn, was taken by Burgamere and turned into a Crimson Army training camp.

Nevado, Crescada, and Vykograd were tossed between Luscovy and Burgamere, back to Luscovy, and back to Burgamere again. Istmark was declared the capital of Burgamere. Luscovy attacked itself, taking over Dun Draigath's capital, New Pill. Burgamere at this point decided to rejoin Kartek, giving a numbers advantage to their army.

The next battle took place at Fort Dingus, a squatter claim near Cinnaburg. With double the size of people in their army, Burgamere almost pushed Luscovy to Estabon, but half-way through the battle, divine interference made 90% of them disappear, and Fort Dingus was overrun. Shortly afterwards, Dr. Frog stepped down. Soon after the battle, Drevnygrad was couped by Kartek, who annexed the region.
