Western Jungle War

The Western Jungle War was the first declared war on CivMC fought between the nation of Blockchainistan and a coalition consisting of Icarus, the Kingdom of ErrorL and the People's Republic of the Western Boundary, with support from other nations.

Raids
During the first week of the CivMC server, players AbbyShapiro and TrustThePlan raided multiple nations across the map, including Icarus, Western Boundary, and several homesteaders. Additionally, the player Figasaur, who had announced the new nation of Blockchainistan along with RabbiCroc, seemed to be loosely associated with said raiders. This caused some in the raided parties to suspect the two were involved in and/or ordering the raids.

Chance Encounter in the Jungle
FuschiaJoCrafter, the Great Sage of the People's Republic of the Western Boundary, was walking through a newly claimed jungle island west of the so-called Forest of Magic. There, he encountered a strange base that was occupied by TrustThePlan, one of the Icarus raiders. He was accosted by Trust, but very barely managed to escape the jungle on one half-heart. Immediately afterwards, he recieved a direct message from Figasaur, asking him to adjust his claims.

MrJoCrafter agreed to the retraction in claims (temporarily) but still found the entire thing incredibly suspicious, and so decided to reach out to others.

Operation Planning
MrJoCrafter added players from Sovia, Icarus, KOEL, and others to a group chat, and explained the situation: TrustThePlan and AbbyShapiro had raided a large number of nations in the -,+ quadrant and beyond, it was likely Figasaur and Croc were involved in said raiding, and that he had found the base of the Blockchainistan group in the jungle. He set a plan to attack at a specific time, with members from Icarus, KOEL, and Western Boundary agreeing to assist in the attack. Of other nations, Sovia, CCTT, Hatium , and others in the -,+ quadrant backed the Coalition.

VinBing Insides KOEL
A player named VinBing stole some items from storage in the Kingdom of ErrorL and also attempted to kill its king and god, ErrorL. While this event might have been unrelated, Figasaur himself reported said in local chat "uh oh" immediately after VinBing was killed by ErrorL. Figasaur after the fact maintained he was not associated with VinBing, which some people accepted. VinBing was later banned, presumably for attempting to evade his pearl with alternative accounts.

Operation Jungle Scourge
The operation commenced on Tuesday, June 7th, 2022 at 5:30 PM CDT. KOEL, Icarus, and Western Boundary members made their way to the jungle island and attempted to begin the assault. After the server had a stroke and restarted several times, the attack force got back to work, quickly breaking into the bunker through a weak spot, and destroying and looting the chests inside the bunker. The other chests were quickly rent asunder, while no defense of the land came from the Blockchainistan members. Around this time, LIQUIDSTEREO posted the official declaration of war post as the operation team had basically destroyed anything valuable inside the base. Seeing no resistance arrive, the attack team dispersed, losing only one casualty due to a KOEL member losing connection and logging out inside the bunker.

End of the War and Treaty
While most welcomed the attack on Blockchainistan, some nations, such as Rhode Island, of which Figasaur was a citizen, saw the conflict with suspicion. Rhode Island members put pressure on the Coalition nations to end it, and threats were exchanged. Eventually, a peace settlement was reached where both sides demilitarized the river, 6 diamonds were given back to Blockchainistan, and the two raiders, TrustThePlan and AbbyShapiro, were made unwelcome in Blockchainistan.

Aftermath
Afterwards, Blockchainistan moved to the +,- quadrant, unclaiming its -,+ claims, and Western Boundary reclaimed the island over which the war was fought, declaring it Fire Island National Park.
