The New Cold War is the name given to a period of geopolitical tension between the Englean Empire, Sunrisia and their respective allies. The name "New Cold War" is used due to this period occurring after the end of the War of the Brush Fires, which was known as the "Cold War" lasting from 1947 to 1993.

2010s

A sharp increase in hostility between the factions.

2020s

The Conflict on the Island of Vesvai ends with Vesvai separating from the Union of Oblaren and Vesvai. Vesvai's northern region of Herbora (Green Coast) separates from the independent Vesvai and stays within the Union. Union of Oblaren and Vesvai becomes the Union of Oblaren and Herbora.

Young political outsider and moderate reformist Léma Tempéstĕr gets elected President of Sunrisia. An easing of tensions with the international community begins.

Revolutionary wave of 2021

Coral Revolution in Edereon

Coral Revolution, a peaceful themed revolution in Edereon, overthrows a nationalist-leaning government and installs a more moderate and internationally open one with scepticism towards an alliance with Sunrisia, Corentian integration, organizations such as MDAA and SOWEFTA and with sympathy towards the world's autocratic regimes.

Flug movement, protests in Daredland and the Second Daredi Revolution

Several separate waves of protests have been held in Daredland continuously over suspicions that the government led by the Klare Sicht alliance was using criminal framing tactics to repress political rivals and opposition in Daredland. The most recent wave of the protests was taken over by the emerging Flug political movement, which has been calling on the government to resign. After the escalation of protests into violent clashes between police and protesters in the capital city Freihat, a State of Emergency was declared in Freihat. During the clashes, ex-Vice Chancellor of the Daredi Confederacy and ex-Confederal Minister of Justice and Police of the Daredi Confederation Felix Gudatan was broken out of detainment. After hundreds of injuries on both sides, the Konföderaleswehr was called in to intervene in Freihat but declared a military mutiny. A new round of government and opposition talks was held after which the Daredi government agreed to resign in its' entirety while all positions were handed over to members of the Flug movement, creating an interim government until snap elections.

Pameravan Revolution

Pameravan Revolution leads to the overthrow of the separatist absolute monarchy in Pamerava, a withdrawal of Pamerava from the Strategic Ventismar Defence Council and an Association Agreement with the Union of Ventismarian Nations, and a return to Baggnagia as an autonomous territory.

Gates to Corentia movement, Crimson Revolution and Civil War in Vesvai

In a member of ROVAA Vesvai, the Crimson Revolution, a themed revolution largely backed by Sunrisia and other members of MDAA and SOWEFTA and having escalated from pro-Corentian protests in Vesvai led by the Gates to Corentia movement, helps overthrow an autocratic leadership of Vesvai. The overthrown regime was originally aligned with MDAA, SOWEFTA and partner states of those organizations during the Vesvaite War of Independence, as a body of separatist rebel forces, but later had fallen out with the Corentian bloc, because a dictatorship was established in Vesvai after the nation re-established independence. After the overthrow of the dictatorship, the Revolutionary Council of Free Vesvai took over power in Vesvai, while a large portion of the military defected to it and became loyal to the new transitional revolutionary government. However, not all of the military defected and supported the new transitional revolutionary government and a lot of it remained loyal to the overthrown regime. The loyalist military began mobilizing to wage a counter-revolution against the new transitional revolutionary government, while defecting forces began preparing to resist the attempt by the loyalists to remove the revolutionaries. The situation de facto developed into a Vesvaite Civil War. An international coalition of Baggnagia, Creperia, Daredland, New Vesvai and Sunrisia launched a military intervention in support of the transitional revolutionary government against the counter-revolutionaries of the ousted regime's loyalist forces. Edereon, now led by a less pro-Sunrisian and pro-Corentian government since its' own Coral Revolution, has refused to join the coalition and, on the contrary, diplomatically expressed support for the ousted regime and counter-revolutionaries in Vesvai, even flirting with the idea of providing unspecified type of support for the old regime's counter-revolutionary loyalist forces. The opposition in Edereon has criticized the new government for refusing to support the democratic revolution in Vesvai and to join the coalition, while a lot of volunteers from Edereon began to travel to Vesvai to support the coalition and revolutionaries. At the same time, the events of the Crimson Revolution and the Civil War in Vesvai, provoked border skirmishes between Vesvai and the Union of Oblaren and Herbora.

Openness movement in Creperia

The Openness political movement, which advocated for a move away from nationalism and isolationism, held daily street demonstrations around Creperia, which involved the capital city Miraya and practically all major cities. Eventually, the movement overtook the country and started holding daily demonstrations, practically threatening to encourage strikes, if the government did not listen to the movement's demands. The Creperian government responded and agreed to hold talks with Openness. Round table talks led to an agreement between the government and Openness, that a snap parliamentary election would be held, where Openness would participate as an opposition force.
