The Apollonian-Burrownestian Border Incident

The Apollonian-Burrownestian Border Incident was a dispute over the sovereignty of a ravine between the Nation of Apollonian Accord and the City-State of Burrownest, It took place on the 17th of August.

Background

The leaders of the Apollonian Accord sought to expand westward for more residential areas and a new district. Meanwhile, the leaders of the City-State of Burrownest wanted to expand to a nearby ravine because they were running out of space and a lot of the valuable land was already taken by the Apollonian capital of Apollo.

Escalation

The leader of Burrownest, PIKMINPROH, received news of the upcoming conflict from Lluc444 and offered a deal to the Apollonian leaders. Apollo's Minister of Interior, Linkipoo, refused and responded to this by escalating the situation and surrounding Burrownest, he clearly wanted war.

De-escalation and Conclusion

The situation was calmed down by HerbDashwell who halted his nation's military advance. But the Apollonian Accord was still threatening war, they gave Burrownest 2 days to decide conclude this. Negotiations began and the two states decided on how the land should be divided, furthermore the City-State of Burrownest joined the Apollonian Accord

Burrownest Leaves Apollo

After a futher deterioration of relations between Burrownest leaders and the Apollonian Accord, the City-State of Burrownest asked to join the Empire of Yimmu Audal to protect their interests. The Empire accepted. However, as allies of Apollo, the leaders of Yimmu Audal chose to take measures in order to prevent potential harming of relations between the powers. The first Emperor of Yimmu Audal, StoryStudio, proposed the Burrownest Relocation Plan, under which the settlement of Burrownest would cede its territory bordering Apollo in order relocate fully itself to an island colony of Burrownest situated in the Yimmu Audal Proper Archipelago. The plan was supported by Apollo leader HerbDashwell. However, negotiations took place involving StoryStudio and the first Chief Diplomat of Yimmu Audal, CRAZYCHAOSCALEB in order to convince PIKMINPROH, the leader of Burrownest, to agree to this plan.

However, following several days of delay PIKMINPROH hadn't unclaimed the land and new treaty was established with the help of HerbDashwell and CRAZYCHAOSCALEB between Burrownest, Apollo, and the Empire of Yimmu Audal under which Burrownest would become a fully autonomous territory of the Empire.

Furthermore, as shown by the official map of Yimmu Audal, the Empire does not recognize the Burrownest territory near Apollo as an official part of itself, treating only the Burrownest island territory as the area which falls under imperial jurisdiction.
