Background
The Mir-Chanada War was a conflict that erupted in August 2015. It arose during a general time of tension for the server, where several lesser conflicts had left behind a desire for combat in the hearts of many. It was the second major war of 2015 since the Attack on Titan in March.

The Discovery of Mir
On the morning of August 3rd, a party of Chanadians were strolling through their land when they came across a massive set of structures that had been erected on lands which belonged to their claim. The party of Chanadians began to explore the land, and upon making contact with the seemingly unknown visitors, attempted to remove them with what would become infamous cries of &quot;pack it up!&quot;

The Mirians very promptly responded by hunting down and pearling any Chanadian in the area. Shortly after, Sempha announced the return of Mir. They claimed that their intentions were to find a new land to begin XP production, and that they managed to find an interesting piece of land with the help of Lailynator, a Chanadian citizen. Lailynator granted his land, known as the Kingdom of Silesia, to the Mirians, who would in turn view him as their monarch. Sempha revealed that Mir had spent the last two months on the land, and that they had even managed to construct a Nether Factory. As for the Chanadians who were pearled upon protesting and showing disdain to their new unexpected neighbors, they were to be released only when Chanada would formally recognize Mir as a nation and accept their land claims.

The claim that Lailynator had given them the land peacefully was later found to be false and in a fashion that would become typical throughout the war, Mir slithered out of situation after situation by changing their story. The truth is that they settled in the land thinking it unclaimed and were later found by Lailynator, who they then bullied into granting them a portion of his territory in return for being their ceremonial &quot;king&quot;, who they later claimed had no power to determine their foreign policy. This was also a direct violation of their agreement with the poor German Lailynator who just wanted people in his country.

Negotiations
Chanada held onto the claim that the lands belonged to them, and that they would not relinquish them under any circumstances. They asked first and foremost that the prisoners held by Mir be released immediately before talks could continue. The next day on August 4th, Sempha declared open war on Chanada. This declaration was quickly withdrawn after Reiko, a prominent Chanadian cooled down the situation. Nevertheless, the hasty decision had put all the players in motion, and the situation would only escalated from there, with neither side being able to come to a decisive agreement. Mir insisted in their claims, and several days later on August 7th, asserted it's sovereignty and intentions. The ultimatum was that Chanada persisted in claiming that anyone other than Mir owned the land, they would enter a state of war. Lysika, from Mir, decided to also announce around this time that Mir had supposedly established a spy network, and would be willing to sell the service for a monthly subscription. This was viewed by the general public as a joke. On the 9th of August Lailynator came to a deal with Sempha and agreed to sell the land. The next day all the remaining Chanadian pearls were released as a gesture of good faith and anticipation of the agreed deal. Unfortunately this deal was not accepted by the Chanadians who were unwilling to recognize the state of Mir due to all foreign policy being dictated by the Confederation, not the individual state. Finally, on August 11th, Ryden, representing Chanada declared war on Mir. Sintralin, representing Nox would soon follow as well.

Warfare Begins
Soon after Ryden announced that Chanada would declare war on Mir, both sides spiraled into combat that they were expecting in anticipation. In a surprise move that shocked the international public, Mir claimed first blood on the most unlikely casualty of the war, Spongesuds, ruling monarch of The Independent State of Balkania. Spongesuds, who was not affiliated with Chanada in any way, was murdered under the notion that he had trespassed into the castle of Mir in combat gear, and that he was fair game. His belongings were not to be returned, and no apology was issued. The conflict that had been exclusive to Chanada, Mir, and Nox now became an international affair. Following the murder of Spongesuds, the public interest amazingly swayed in favor of Chanada. Those who were previously uninterested in the conflict suddenly began to give their support and condemn Mir for its actions. Balkania, being a member of the Great Northern Alliance, had allies who would vote in favor of war against Mir as retribution for the murder of a head of state. This involvement however was only a public condemnation from afar, and no combat action was actually taken by the GNA. S.P.Q.R would be the only GNA member to publicly declare war, as they were also in an alliance with Nox, and had additionally felt threatened by Mir in past conflicts near their old territory. There was also interest in what The United Empire of Volterra, an ally of Mir, and GNA member would do. However, Volterra stated that the alliance brought no conflict of interests, and that it would remain neutral in the war, supporting neither side.

&quot;The Ultimate Packing&quot;
&lt;WRAP right 400px&gt; ''&quot;After beginning to suffer more and more karma casualties in the &quot;Mir' side&quot; thread, President of Chanada Hantzu called his top subreddit PvPers into the Viridian Waroom and held a top secret meeting, where he expressed his unrelenting opinion that the war of public opinion was not to be allowed to change direction. The most recent predictions showed Mir affiliates gaining a significant upper hand, with one comment being gilded an astounding total of three times and multiple Chanadan comments being buried alive under a storm of downvotes. President Hantzu gave the executive order at 9:00 PM to launch what would be known as &quot;The Ultimate Packing&quot;, where a nuclear-grade post blast was to be detonated over the subreddit as soon as possible. Evidence was gathered, and at 9:02 PM, the post was sealed, marked with the customary &quot;Pack it Up!&quot;, and launched from the command center in Viridian. Almost instantly, the war-torn subreddit of /r/Civcraft was obliterated under a great explosion of drama that was heard and seen even in the farthest depth of the quadrants.&quot; - GTAIV, Sultan of the Islamic Sultanate of Istanbul and Samarra'' &lt;/WRAP&gt;

On August 12th, HanTzu, hero of the Chanadian people, dropped a bomb on the organization behind Mir. His post contained a leak of two weeks worth of internal conversations from key members of Mir. Arguably, this revelation was the biggest leak of insider information that the people of Civcraft had ever seen in the history of the world. In one fell swoop without the need for combat, HanTzu exposed the true intentions of Mir as a warmongering nation. As it came to be understood, not only with Chanada, but also with S.P.Q.R, where they had built a hidden bunker under a home in Roma. Mir has been preparing for a war, but being caught prematurely they underestimated the strength and organization of Chanada. The failed support from Volterra, who was their only ally on paper, and the public outcry from the murder of Spongesuds were perhaps unexpected setbacks in their path of war. As the war raged on, the Mirians understood they had no real chance to win on the combat front. To summarize, the post left the public opinion of Mir devastated. Later that afternoon, they would begin destroying their own structures, apparently throwing in the towel on the war. On August 13th, one day after HanTzu's post, Mir declared it was packing up, offering a conditional surrender. The Chanadian leaders said they would think upon the conditions. During the night when the Mirians were sleeping several Chanadians began to steal the Nether Factory Within these pictures are only a few of the chanadians.

Post Surrender Offer: The First Battle
The day after the conditional surrender was offered Chanadians mustered a forced of eight fighters made of up Noxians, Chanadians and others. They attacked Mir in 13 tps and were forced to leave as the low tps made fighting almost totally ineffectual. The five defending Mirians had a simple goal. Delay the inevitable - the Chanadians would force them off the land at some point that day. An hour passed whilst the Chanadians bolstered their numbers to twelve and the Mirians to six. In the meantime the tps rose to 19 making death a very real possibility. When the Chanadians eventually came the Mirians practiced the potlad ruse, tricking the Chanadians into drinking their fire resistance and speed potions. The Mirians then returned to their bunker to sit out the Chandian potion effects. The ploy worked and the Chanadians were forced to make the 2000 block return trip to their bunker to restock. The Chanadians soon returned and began to break the bastion protecting the Mirian water drop - a key escape mechanism. The Mirians employed the potlad technique again and returned to their bunker. However, they were baited into thinking the Chanadians had left and went out to hunt the stragglers, not waiting for the Chanadians potion effects to run out. A pitched battle occurred, the Mirians were outnumbered 2:1 but in the end no one died. The Mirians logged out for the day. With the Mirians out of the way the Chanadians destroyed some bastions and freed their member www66 from a two layer vault.

War
A stalemate arose. During the EU hours Mir ruled their lands and scored victories - destroying few Chanadian supply bunkers sounding the area of the newly settled mirians and pearling one of their players - Reiko_Mikami. During the NA evening Chanada had free reign. They would gather their armies of ungeared miners and work on breaking the Nether Factory vault. In the morning their DRO spike into the vault would be mined out by Mir. This went on for two weeks. Morale was running low on both sides - it was dull work. Eventually Lythieus, a member of Aeon's governing body, stepped in to mediate a peaceful resolution - the nether factory would be destroyed and no one would have it. Tired of no lifing 10 hours days Mir agreed, as did Chanada. However, as far as Mir was concerned the war was not over. Bolstered by the tens of thousands of diamonds raided from Chanadian towns in the area they returned to their strongholds in the minus minus.

An unofficial cease-fire was held for a while until Grbrynnyn, a chanadian who was part of the attack on Mir, was sighted and pearled near the Mt. Augusta nether portal. He was put in Sanctaphrax and tensions rose between the two sides. However, after 3 weeks he was released - his sentence up. Chanada, increasningly weaker, had no choice but to accept this punishment. Meanwhile Chanada's main ally - Nox, became Mir's target. With some maneuvering Mir succesfully pulled the entire world police into the war against Nox. The Mir-Chanox War evolved into the Nox war which deserves it's own page. As for what happened to Chanada? It fell apart mostly due to in-fighting long before the Nox war ended. The Chanadian territory of Kompound was ceded to Mir, Bielefield became truly indepedent and the old Chanadian states split apart or disappeared.

Post War Conclusion
Mir left the +,+ region and Chanada fell apart. No formal peace treaty was signed. Chanada's ally, Nox was later destroyed by a coalition of Mir, World Police and Mt. Augusta.

SPQR declared peace with Mir half way through the Nox war, having never entered Mirian territory or attacking a Mirian. Mir never declared war on SPQR.

Half a year later at the end of 2.0 in a confessions thread Lysika_Lantariel admitted to hamming up all attempts for peace in order to maintain activity levels within Mir.
