The Offeat Troubles, also referred to as the Offeat Standoff and Offeat Civil War was a period of heightened nationalist and political unrest in the Kingdom of Offeat that broke out in 1934 amid the concurrent Federation of Arenor, when the four other Arenoran nations pursued federation.

The conflict was centered primarily around the question of Offeat's future; either integrating into the newly formed Commonwealth of Arenor or pursuing a path of political and economic independence as a sovereign nation. Vigorous public support for both causes culminated into violent protests. Both sides began to establish volunteer forces and paramilitaries in anticipation of a worsening military conflict. The conflict became increasingly geographically oriented with the north part of the island heavily pro-federation and the south pro-independence. Sporadic violence became commonplace in major cities like Vogoci and Barotek where numerous bombings and shootings led to civilian casulties. The worsening situation led to the deployment of Coalition Offeat Peacekeeping Unit forces and several demilitarized zones were introduced. The conflict came to an end following the signing of the Vogoci Agreement which divided the Offeat island into two new nations; the sovereign nation of Saint Offeat and the Commonwealth member of Nort-Offeat. Though much of the fighting came to an end, sporadic incidents did occur along the newly formed border.

The Offeat Troubles had a profound political, cultural and economic impact throughout the Arenoran Isles. The conflict left the Offeat island heavily divided, suffering from poverty, unemployment and high crime rates, all of which became the center of contemporary music and political discourse. Calls for the re-unification of Offeat have been ongoing since the conflict's end, though no framework or plan is in place to implement this. As a result, many continue to believe the Troubles did not actually end, but is a frozen conflict awaiting resolution.
