Poaching of Turtlonia

The Diet
On the night of September 30th, 2020, the nobility of Etscharien held an Imperial Diet, with representatives from the Valdreach Imperial Republic attending as witnesses, where the terms for an ultimatum to be given to Turtlonia were drafted. The pretense for the aggression was due to the nation seeking to push a conflicting religion from their borders, to establish a colony on the island Turtlonia held, and due to Turtlonian interference with the nation's nether portals.

The Attack
Minutes later, a force of 8 people sailed to Turtlonia and made landfall upon the island. No members of Turtlonia were present at the time, and the invasion turned into a raid and scouting mission. The farmlands of Turtlonia were destroyed, before the force returned to Etscharien.

Fleet Invasion
The following day, on October 1st, 2020, a fleet of 8 Etschariens again sailed to Turtlonia an ascended to the upper plateau of the island, where the minister of foreign affairs of Turtlonia, Grandpa Boob, exited the city to attempt negotiations with the invading force, now being joined by additional forces from Yimmu-Audal and the V.I.R., who joined the attack due to Turtlonia harboring a terrorist know as Dagon the Raider. Grandpa Boob claimed that they did not harbor Dagon, and attempted to reach a peaceful settlement with the Etscharien Kaiser Siegfried von Aspach. Nations and nomads alike watched as war was declared, as negotiations broke down and Grandpa Boob was killed, along with an additional citizen inside the city, before the attacking forced descended within.

Sacking of Turtlonia
As the attackers descended into the city, they quickly took any and all resources considered valuable, as well as broke the city's Nether Portal. Many chests were broken open, spilling their contents to the ground, resulting in its eventual deletion due to lag clearance. As the Etschariens began transporting their spoils back to the city, additional forces from the V.I.R. arrived to begin sacking the city, breaking more chests as the Kaiser began claiming the territory, forming the city of Pittsburgh. Celebrations in the city of Kaiserslicht following the sacking consumed all of the alcohol within the city. Conflicts over loot between Yimmu-Audal and Etscharien would lead to the eventual Etscharien-Yimmu-Audalian War

The Pittsburgh Debacle
The city of Pittsburgh, named so for the large pit that pierced the bedrock of the island, created further conflict with V.I.R. forced looting the city, destroying small parts of the area. The V.I.R. forces claimed that the loot was rightfully theirs, and that Etscharien had no right to claim the land and loot. The Etschariens retorted that their claim had been recognized by Yimmu-Audal, and that V.I.R forces present had lost their right to the loot due to their indirect destruction of resources within the city through the lag clearance. An eventual communication between the leaders of Etscharien and the V.I.R. led to the leader of the V.I.R. ordering their forces out of the city.

The Unclaiming of Pittsburgh
Shortly after the Pittsburgh Debacle, the city was disbanded, and the spot was claimed by another power and renamed "fuck_enfys". Later, on 10/2/2020, the spot was reclaimed by former Turtlonians and the nation re-established. To this day they are continuing a guerilla war against the Escharians and even griefed their capital before a temporary ban as enacted.
