The Bloodletting of Kansas, also known as 2nd Bleeding Kansas, the Border War, the Second Border War, Burning Kansas or the Kansan Campaign is an ongoing (albeit now smaller scale) conflict and series of border disputes in several former American states. The conflict has been characterized by constantly fluctuating truces, temporary alliances and unofficial warfare. The conflict has repeatedly skirted the boundaries of international law while their belligerents have maintained generally standard relations (unless damaged by other factors unrelated to the conflict).
Background and origins
In the days after the Three Mile Island disaster, many newly independent nations' claims overlapped, with small scale skirmishes and scouting patrols engaging on nearly every border. While most would be settled with treaties, mediation, international ultimatums, and occasionally military might, control over several parts of the Rockies and northwestern Great Plains never truly came to one nation. While a treaty regarding the demilitarization of the region was signed by the UC, US(WC), MSU, and Texas, along with mediation from Washington, China, Britain and the Soviet Union (the latter three of which mainly just supported their own factions), the four nations claiming control over the region began backing militia and paramilitary groups, some of which being from the disputed regions, but many hailing from their own nations.

A portion of fighters loyal to the United Commonwealth, Midwest Separation Union and Republic of Texas have adopted a general policy of non-combatance and 'looking the other way' regarding each other, with some instances of limited cooperation against forces loyal to the Western Government. While most combatants are officially not aligned to their respective nations, many have recognized their shared ideals of halting the Western States and maintaining order in the region. There have been instances of these groups engaging each other, but this general attitude has prevailed to the present day.
