CoG Civil War

The CoG Civil war, also known as the Coglapse, was an internal conflict within the Valresh nation called Confederation of Garxijos between the Socialist Provisional Government, which was fighting to overthrow the government and the confederation government. The conflict lasted 4 days and ultimately resulted in the dissolution of the CoG.

Helsia joining CoG and its partition
After its independence from RavenGuard, Helsia joined the Confederation of Garxijos. Shortly after this, a Helsian king sold most of Helsia's land to the Confederation without asking the people of Helsia about it, creating the state of Gyeoul// on the Helsian peninsula. Later on Nueva Trinidad, at the time RavenGuard territory, joined CoG and also purchased a large chunk of land from Helsia, creating the state of Caisteal. These partitions created a strong sense of resentment in the Helsian people and an ideology of Helsian revanchism became prevolent among the Helsian people.

The rise of Helsia
In December 2021, Helsia, at the time a mid-level state within CoG by terms of population, received a large influx of people when the city of Miklagard was founded in the northern part of the peninsula. This new city plus a new influx of recruitment led to Helsia becoming the largest state in CoG by population. Several members of this new city also became part of the Helsian government and they helped implement a new constitution for Helsia, turning the state more democratic. These new Helsians, some notable ones being Nomissimon10, Tigerben, Bsian and Aaronx4b decided that they wished to reclaim the land that they saw as stolen from Helsia. This process started when Helsia threatened the state of Caisteal with war in order to annex it. Despite protests from the central CoG government, Helsia continued, pointing out that war between CoG states was not explicitly forbidden in the CoG constitution, which guaranteed states "full autonomy". Finally the CoG delegates, led by Buoyo, relented, drafting a treaty which enabled Helsia to annex Caisteal in exhange for a payment of around 60000 coins. After succeeding in forcefully retaking land, the Helsian government realised this strategy might be used again to great effect. Due to the aforementioned surge in population, Helsia managed to gain 3 ministry positions in the January elections, with Simon, bsian and Aaron being elected as minister of economy, minister of defense and vice president respectively. Due to Helsia's military culture and population, Helsians also became a majority in the active CoG military.

The January upheaval
When Uraka declared war on most nations in the Northeast, including CoG, Helsia was one of the primary states advocating for resistance against the invaders, while states such as Garxijos and Pancioni advocated for being peacefully annexed by Uraka. Helsia spent hundreds of thousands on war preparations and even threatened to seceede when it found out that the then president Buoyo planned to surrender. When Buoyo realised the CoG people didn't want to surrender without a fight and an attack on Garxeto was imminent, Buoyo chose to resign, making vice-president Aaronx4b the new president of CoG, becoming the first Helsian to hold the office.
