The Continuation War (Ravkan: Продовження війни, tr. Prodovzhennya vijny); Drazhinskiyan: Працяг вайны, tr. Pratsyag vajny) was an armed conflict fought between Ravka and Drazhinskiya between March 2021 and September 2022. The war's proximate cause was the Treaty of Nice imposed on Drazhinskiya following the 2015 Midsummer War, during which Ravkan and Acrean forces occupied the majority of the disputed border region of Tsernova; Drazhinskiya ceded most of Tsernova to Ravka. Public outrage over the defeat eventually toppled Drazhisnkiya's ruling coalition, with a new government formed in 2016 led by the populist National Union Conference. Though both nations have long claimed Tsernova, largely on ethnopolitical grounds in spite of the historical ethnolinguistic diversity of the region, its root causes can be found in the longstanding political and ideological enmity between the two.
