Maravillian Civil War

The Maravillian Civil War, also known colloquially as the Third Karteki Civil War or to some in Maravilla as the Bitter War is a complex and on-going conflict within the Kingdom of Maravilla, and is a informal continuation of the 2nd Karteki Civil War.

Kartek and the Second Civil War
Before the creation of Maravilla as it is now, the region was held by the Kartek Horde, which for a long time had been the primary power on the Sparwood continent, due to its highly skilled military population, and alliances in other local powers like Lunaris. however, due to leadership either being banned or quitting the server, along with the consequences of the installation of a puppet leader during the First Half of the Burgamerian Civil War. After the Defeat of Burgarmere, the Diarchy of Greater Plagos launched a coup against the weakened Kartek government, which after being annexed by Plagos, and formally collapsed into civil war.

During this time, the Squatters of Aquivia within Kartek was founded after former leader of Kartek, Barend101, gave over much of the west of the country over to leader Sidecans to form his own province. during the time after Barend101 left Kartek and when Burgamere and Avertico integrated Kartek, the puppet regime attempted to remove Sidecans for disloyalty, ultimately failing and being forced to reintegrate with them.

Aquivia and beyond
Sidecans put the player Saturnxd in charge of one of his cities within Aquivia, however due to his royal ties to the Eldham nation of the Kingdom of Dova, Saturn revolted from Aquivia, starting an in-province Civil War, adding more conflict to the already greater Second Kartek Civil War. this dispute would never really be solved, as during the time of the Kostuco Federation, and the subsequent North Sparwood Federation, all agreements would be formally ignored by Saturnxp's nation of Zephyria, or pushed back as Saturn attempted to exert control over Aquivia, usually with little effect.

Auremian Conflict
During the time of the Kostuco Federation, in an effort to help develop totally unclaimed territories within the Federation's territories, the government allowed Gem Dominika and her group to settle down in an unclaimed area then known as Libra. Asthmaticloser, once a citizen in the Queendom of Dominika, the state run by Gem, was allowed to settle the former capital city of Kartek, Almmori, which angered Gem as, according to her, the Kostican government had guaranteed that land to her, despite little in terms of guarantee. despite that, Dominika soon went totally inactive after one of there citizens scammed them and the Kostican government out of 20k, causing a disconnect, and the Kostucan, North Sparwood Federation, then Maravilla, to all hold talks over who should own the land.

despite most of the provinces agreeing the land should go to the Kingdom of Nanois, led by Asthmaticloser, with even the Maravillan government agreeing to the terms, Gem returned and was angered that her land, which had been inactive for almost a month, was being turned to another, more successful province. with Gem's return, and to the dismay of most of the provinces, the federal government of Maravilla allowed Gem to return as a full province leader. however, despite being guaranteed her land, Gem attempted to make the argument that the Kingdom of Nanois was rightfully her territory, and with the backing of multiple funders from a Yimmu-Audal conspiracy, and other backers with a hand in the downfall of Kartek, Gem formally declared independence from Maravilla.

After a failed attempt to get the Kingdom of Buzavar to revolt with them, Gem and the now Kingdom of Auremia dug in, fighting small skirmishes with Maravillan forces over a few days. Maravilla developed an intelligence operation inside of Auremia, switching one of there military contractors to there side with the promise of payment, however lost there advantage when the government threw out two of there government members, Sidecans and ThatOneeGuy1, who leaked most if not all of there war plans to Gem and her allies. Maravilla attempted to do damage control, claiming that these plans were all fake.

Due to these devolopments, Queendom of Auremia was able to gain time to build up huge defensive positions around there claim, starting an unofficial Cold War between Maravilla and Auremia, with neither side able to come up with terms the other side would agree to.

Lehmerian Conflict
Lehmeria had been a sour spot in relations in Kartek since its founding as a squatter state in Aquivia even before the 2nd Karteki Civil War, that despite its huge claim size and illegal surrounding of the Aquivian capital city, was never actually active or had a large population. over the Kostican, NSF, and Maravillan rule, Lehm, the leader of the state, continued to insist that he would never actually listen to anyone, would never unclaim any land, and would never be active. having attempted to revolt from the Kostican Federation, joining Kranga before the leader of Plagos, Basil, forced Kranga to stand down.

Believing Maravilla to be weak, due to the Auremia and Aquivian revolts, Lehm declared independence from Maravilla once again, joining the Eldham nation of Pacifa, which was run by primarily Krangan leaders. Pacifa refused to let Lehmeria go, until the Kingdom of Dova, guided by ThatOneeGuy1, who was there former diplomat and good friend of the Dova king, Kayo_Mayo, started demanding Pacifia become a vassal of Dova, leading to the leader of Pacifa being kicked out by the non-krangan members of Parliament, and Pacifa returning Lehmeria to Maravilla to avoid a multi-world war.

Political tensions
The Aquivia conflict soon had boiled over, with Aquivian forces successfully raiding Lunasalam, angered the Maravillan government, leading to the leadership to kick out Sidecans from there government. supporting their personal friend, ThatOneeGuy1 leaked all of the Maravillan war plans to Auremia, and made a number of national announcements slandering Maravilla, greatly angering the Maravillan federal government to the point of personal hate.

Knowing they had little chance of winning against the larger Maravilla, Aquivia decided to fight anyway and go down fighting. as Maravilla saw Aquivia as little threat, focusing all there effort into Gem and her Auremia revolution, Aquivia was given time to build up and gain allies, such as Mayynophobia and The Hands, who agreed to support the war effort due to Maravillan support of Burgermire rebels in there land of Frostmyre, and a Trident. during the cold war, an argument between a gov member of Maravilla who had lied that they where also revolting, and ThatOneeGuy1, was recorded and spread through Maravilla and beyond, with most toxicity targeted toward ThatOneeGuy1, who became a Maravillan scapegoat for the war. threatening and raiding the discord's of his allies, direct messaging harassment towards him, and threatening to false report him for racism where a number of things to push him out of the war.

Battle of Ravensburg
The Zephyria government, lead by Saturnxp, seeing the destruction of Aquivia as a natural and political goal to secure his power in the region, declared war on Aquivia, ignoring destress from the Maravillan government, who wanted to focus on Gem and Auremia. Due to the underestimation of Aquivia as a threat, Saturn and the war ticket leaders on the side of Maravilla didn't fill out the WhenToMeet calendar for the battle, allowing the Aquivian side to be able to select any time they wanted. selecting a time in the early morning, Aquivia easily won the battle, taking the city of Ravensburg. This loss became a massive humiliation for Zephyria and Saturn's rule, due to the common notion that Aquivia would have been an easy and inconsequential battle, striking down Zephyrian moral, and infuriating the Maravillan government, who called for unconditional surrender of Aquivia.

Political Instabilities of Zephyria
Before the battle of Ravensburg, SaturnXp said he made an grammer mistake, that angered the gods of Stoneworks, and he was curse with a 1 week ban. He fear without a leader his nation would fall into chaos. SOOO he appointed two dukes as tempo-Tsar of Zephyria, and then Appointed two other people to be actually Tsars. No one know who to listen to and resulted in deadlock of the 2nd Tsardom of Zephyria. The Zephyrian Succession Crisis followed by the lost of at Ravensburg, lead Saturn to dissolve the 2nd Tsardom and instated the 3rd Tsardom of Zephyria with intentions to be bloody violent but soon was talk out of those intention due to it state.

Battle of St. Marksburg
Maravilla opened up peace talks with The Hands directly, refusing to recognize Aquivia whatsoever. The Hands, seeing this as a great opportunity to exert influence over the unstable Kartek region, which they had failed to do a year before, with willing support by Sidecans, vassalized Aquivia and opened there own ticket against the St. Marksburg claim. Attacking the claim within a few hours of contacting the Zephyrians about the war ticket, the Hands easily took the capital city for themselves, causing the collapse of the already crumbling Zephyria, and causing Maravilla to launch immediate damage control, refusing to give any kind of recognition to Aquivia in any way, still attempting to make peace with The Hands, claiming that Aquivia where squatters in subsequent announcements and that they were a Hands puppet state, still refusing anything but the full conquest of Aquivia.

Maravillian Intervention of Zephyria
Following the fall of Marksburg, the Maravillian Director of Internal Affairs, Ashmaticloser, Gathered the Dukes and political figure heads of Zephyria excluding Saturn, and gave them list of demands that they had to fulfill to avoid losing their autonomy. Dukes tried their best to fulfill the demands, but amongst the confusion, and impatience of Maravillia, intervention was due. But a political figure head within Zephyria had a spy in a Aquivian Group and managed to get access to a treaty that was under the works between Maravillia official, Aquivia and The Etscharian Empire. The treaty, named "Aquivian Peace Accords", would of recognized Aquivia, completely dissolve and abolition the Zephyrian Identity, the division of land to Aquivia, Etscharia, and Maravillia, and the retraction of Lehmeria Territory. With the discover of this Treaty, the figure head released the information to Saturn and the most trusted Dukes. Saturn brought showed the treaty to the Higher Maravillian government, and were frustrated by it. Saturn pinned the treaty on Ashmaticloser and he was removed of his powers over Zephyria and the intervention never was continued.
