The Grand War is an ongoing global conflict. In April 2021 the Kingdom of Great Anglia initiated the conflict with the Battle of Broerland by moving its armed forces across the bridges spanning the gap between Great Anglia and Lysia.[1] The conflict is motivated by Anglian imperialism.[citation needed]The war has since expanded greatly, and conflicts are now taking place on multiple continents. The international community has condemned the Anglian aggression.[2]

Background

The OCA pact is signed between Anglia, Suverina, and several Azanian nations catering the alliance that would end up starting the Grand War.

The reasons that led to this conflict were many years in the making. In Great Anglia, the ruling monarch King Creighton III was a proponent of expansionist annexation of the rich Occidental neighbouring states. Evenly inspired and intimidated by the country of Adaptus, another militaristic neighbours, the Creighton directed the military to target other countries which would be less likely to retaliate. This included Lysia and Suverina. Another factor in this decision was the pacifist political stance of these countries, viewed by the Anglians as weak and negligent.

Across the Raga Sea, over in Amutia, a long-running dispute of the exact border location between Suverina and Qubdi had festered for many years. The lands in question had been in dispute ever since 1961, when Suverina annexed the non-declared area without official negotiation between the two states. Tensions increased in early 2021 when Qubdi unilaterally pressed on with its own version of the border claim.[3]

Aftermath

The conflict is still ongoing.

International reaction

LAANN on May 1st imposed a stop and search embargo on all shipping to and from Great Anglia.[69] Neighbouring countries also responded. Tagmatium imposed their own sanctions the very next day.[70] Haruspex deployed troops along their southern border with Tagmatium.[71] By May 12th the EOS publicly announced their own sanctions.[72]

On July 13th President Deborah Van Roose of Delamaria announced a series of sanctions on Great Anglia and other members of the Occidental-Azanian Pact, as well as a stop and search embargo on any ships or aircraft in Delamarian jurisdiction.[73]

WIP

WIP: potential conclusions.

  • Europa
    • The mounting Anglian defeats in its war finally sealed Great Anglia's fate. Disillusioned Anglian citizens and soldiers stormed the royal palace in Godstone. An interim government came to power. However, it also proved to be unpopular, providing an opportunity for "Neo-Imperialists" to lead a revolt from Lysia. With most of the army destroyed or defected, the interim government was forced to request aid from the Assembled Nations. This started what would eventually become the largest AN peacekeeping operation in history.
    • Suverina came out of the post-Anglian conflict rather stable, as they began to align themselves more with Tagmatium. However, the Suverins weren't spared from the ensuing civil war as "Neo-Imperialist" belligerents from neighbouring Lysia began crossing the border, with only a small AN detachment to stop them.
    • Swamped by refugees from the former OCA nations in Azania, Qubdi is at a tipping point of total anarchy as its government fails to provide both for its people and the refugees.
  • Argis
    • The pre-emptive establishment of an AN mission in Dolchland, much with the same intention as those in Great Anglia, gave its people the go-ahead to stage a full-scale uprising against the government. The country is split between "Neo-Dolchists", religious fundamentalists, ultranationalists, and Morheimian militiamen.
    • Alright everyone, the fate of Dolchland has been decided. Following military defeat in Iwenland, "Dolchland accepts defeat and sits down for negotiations. We reach whatever agreement we come up with and after the peace deal the current Imperial government is deposed and replaced with a new Emperor. This emperor essentially allows the restoration of the confederacy system reducing the Imperial government back to its pre war form. This new weakness allows for the growth of all sorts of new political movements which allows for a fun free for all for any nation wanting to dip their toes in the madness."[74]
  • Alharu?
  • Aurelia?
  • Assembled Nations. International judicial court to find and punish shadowy cabal of leftover imperialist remnants. (Finally something that's not about war, but about punishment.)
