East Jolington Border Conflict
On the day Jolington was founded, a group of newfriends with some association with (and supplies from) Columbia and Icenia decided to build a town/nation right on the border of Jolington's claims. In response, SinjoroJoCrafter built watchtowers and fortifications on the "Channel Islands", which were close to the border between Jolington and East Jolington. In response, the East Jolingtonians build an obsidian watchtower of their own, and filled the channel with snitches.

After a tense standoff that lasted four hours, and under international pressure from their benefactors, the East Jolingtonians fled and abandoned their short-lived nation, allowing Jolington to unilaterally annex East Jolington. This annexation is not widely recognized and is disputed, although it is not directly disputed with a counter-claim by any national government.

Annexation of East Jolington and Aftermath
The resources injected into the short-lived town/nation of East Jolington by Columbia and Icenia were requisitioned by Jolington. In addition, the town of East Jolington was rennovated with new flags two days after the conflict ended, politically solidifying the annexation.

Droplandia Crisis
Members of the nation of Droplandia, 1drop and ColorTheory, invaded Jolington on the night of September 25th, 2021, apparently due to discourse by SinjoroJoCrafter in ! chat. They broke into Jolington's bunker and pearled him in the process. After negotiations with Hjaltland and Varkonia, SinjoroJoCrafter was freed.
