&lt;/WRAP&gt; The Loveshack-Orion War is an ongoing war between the Principality of Loveshack and the State of Orion.

Background
In reaction to the invasion and complete destruction of the micronation Clockville (a small island in the Orion River) following their declaration of Independence from Orion, the Principality of Loveshack declared war on Orion and declared all of Orion's territories as Loveshackian.

The Loveshackian Royal Army deployed several divisions to the outskirts of Orion, regularly bombarding the city with insults and petchouli-filled artillery shells.

When Cuba declared their sovereignty from Orion, then declared war, Loveshack joined on Cuba's side and moved the entire Royal Army to Cuba, including the famed pink tank Big Bouncin' Betty, and the long-range howitzer The Fat Lady. The first casualty on Loveshack's side was Private Jarp, who got a direct hit from Orionite artillery 13 seconds after he swore and oath to the Prince of Loveshack.

During the Battle of Cuba, the Loveshackian Royal Army fought at the side of Cubans, New Leningradians, Neverwherians, Aeonites, Proletarskayans and others against the forces of Orion. Some Loveshackians fell, but casualties were minimal. When Generalissimo Farley declared a ceasefire, Loveshack did not join in the terms. Instead, while Orionites were celebrating their victory, the Prince himself draped the colours of Loveshack over the Orion Capitol building, and was briefly apprehended before running off to join his army, shouting anti-Orionite slurs along the way.

On May 21st, two days after the two-month anniversary of the war, the Royal Loveshackian Army invaded and captured the Orion Embassy in Mount Augusta.

During the Senntisten conflict for Independence, the Loveshackian Royal Army Redeployed a division to protect one of the entrances into Senntisten.

Current Situation
The two sides continue to be in a state of war, while Loveshack still holds claim to Orion's Territories (minus Clockville and Cuba). The Orion Embassy in Mt Augusta has fallen back into Orionite hands. The precedent of this war may mean that Loveshack might be dragged into further conflicts regarding seceding nations.
