Kunir War

The Kunir War was a war between the nations of the United Socialist States of Eldham and Vanakunir and their colonies in addition to both nation's allies. The war is sometimes called the War of the Three Coalitions by some nations.

Background
The nation of Vanakunir after the opening of the Eldham servers had begun a series of expansionist ventures across the Southeastern quadrant of the world. This included wars against Santos. Ultimately, the eyes of imperialism began to be turned South towards the United Socialist States of Eldham and Xeka. Bandit raids were held against Xekan cities and a shockwave of panic regarding imperialism was sent through the region with the Anti-Radical Syndicate eventually being notified, something furthered by a Vanakunirian kidnapping of a Volonté government official and Skinny's open defense of slavery.

Treaties of Vostroya and Kamieniec
On July 3rd, 2021, early in the morning Skinny had sent messages to both of these nations requesting a unification with Vanakunir with them becoming colonies, something that was declined by both. With fears that Vanakunir's intentions were more malevolent than this, both Xeka and the USSE would sign the Treaty of Vostroya later that day which put into place a mutual defense pact to discourage war.

The next day, on the 4th, fears of a war were still ongoing massively. This resulted in the USSE and the Colony of Newkunir signing the Treaty of Kamieniec which put into place a non-aggression pact to prevent war. This was met with outrage by Skinny since he wanted war and did not want the treaty signed without his approval. Things appeared to be sizzling down until the night later that day when Skinny made a massive illegal claim of USSE territory in the USSE-governed states of Achadia and Vanargard.

Declaration of War
The illegal annexation of USSE territory and Newkunir's open support of the Vanakunirian government's actions were in complete violation of the Treaty of Kamieniec which resulted in an immediate declaration of war and set off a domino effect of alliances resulting in over ten nations vowing to assist in the USSE's efforts of resisting Vanakunir. The original agreement was to meet up at their town of Kunir on July 7th, 2021 and the allied forces against Vanakunir would siege the city.

Bloodless Wednesday
On July 7th, 2021, the battle had been set to go forth in the town of Kunir, however because of miscommunications the allied forces though that the battle had been postponed until sometime later that week, however Vanakunir was not notified, and their forces ended up waiting around two hours for people to show up, but they never did. Out of frustration, they attempted to raid USSE cities but since few people were online, only one person who had nothing on their person had died after attempting to run out of a bar and inn towards the gated portion of the city of Port Crelov.

After this, it was set up that the battle would occur the next day at around 2:30 PM EST, and a mobilization of over fifty people assisting in the war effort began amongst the USSE's allied forces while Vanakunir waited for the war, with around fifteen people, primarily bandits and mercenaries.

Battle of Gabeli Bay
On July 8th, 2021, the battle was set to commence in the city of Port Crelov and to be primarily led by LilyPrism. The USSE and their allies set up in the center of the town in a position up against the mountain with the sea in close proximity to either side. Upon the Vanakunirians showing up, they fought fiercely for over thirty minutes. The Vanakunirians led small charges of one to three people using tridents to propel themselves out of the water in attempt to waste down their resources, however this had been anticipated and the USSE was using this to ideally hold them off for as long as possible until the hour was over and waste their armor durability. While this was happening, Vanakunir attempted to establish a "Dalatra ring" around the city, a feat that was unable to occur because the city bordered the world border.

Finally, a charge was led against the USSE forces which forced them out from their position as they attempted to make their way across the ice in the Bay of Gabeli for the stairwell to the twin forts atop the mountain in the city. The battle was most fiercely fought at this point as people died left and right on the ice, the ones that made it to the fort however started sniping the Vanakunirians below. Their soldiers had become divided as well as many were individually trying to attack people while others were trying to climb the mountain the hard way, both because they were unaware of the stairwell and because it had been blocked off. The USSE's allied forces had the intention of holding them off for at least twenty minutes, or traveling back to the city square which was now abandoned as virtually everyone had lept into the bay, but using redstone blocks which could be placed during the war, the Vanakunirians made their way atop one of the towers in mass, catching the forces off guard. After a few moments of fierce fighting, LilyPrism called for a retreat and soldiers lept from the mountain and attempted to run away on the thin ice sheets outside the city or die trying. Around twenty minutes after the call to run for their lives, the United Socialist States of Eldham officially announced its surrender to Vanakunir after the ARS called off future assistance after the humiliating defeat and it became increasingly clear that it would be impossible to win a second battle, ending the war.

Outcome
Immediately after the end of the war, plans to divide the USSE were drafted. Vanakunir decided that they only wanted to take a section of the states of Achadia and Vanargard which were largely uninhabited. The Kingdom of Anglunia than purchased a massive section of the states of Croscograd and Kiurtrog in the Southeast, effectively having had purchased the four largest cities in the USSE without their consultation. These areas were than turned into colonies. Anglunia agreed to give the people twenty-four hours after the agreement to leave and evacuate their cities. After this, the USSE became nearly a third of their previous size and at least forty people were immediately displaced.

Since the war and the initial colonization by Anglunia, most of the occupied cities have been reinhabited but some towns such as Crosotex lost its entire population and never gained them back again as a result of the refugee crisis.
