[[File:Anti estalia post 1.png|thumb|An example of a popular anti-Estalia post on the subreddit in the aftermath of the annexation.<ref name=":4">[https://old.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/vgmerc/who_wants_to_be_next/ https://reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/vgmerc/who_wants_to_be_next/]</ref>]]
 
=== Demands and Annexation ===
In response to these accusations, Estalia made their own post<ref name=":2" />, stating that Kū officials had been inconsistent on whether or not they could keep the tunnel, and that Estalia had sent demands<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/vgkt62/comment/id240w4/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3</ref> (including the stipulations "Ku will not cede sovereignty to any group[...]" and "Ku will not allow foreign parties to operate from the islands", "Kū" being misspelled) that had been refused, and that the nation of Kū had been annexed and its people relocated, with as many as 11 players sent to annex the territory. During the annexation, buildings on the island were destroyed or griefed<ref name=":0">https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/vh02cy/update_from_the_k%C5%AB_diaspora/</ref>, including the Hall of the Most Sacred Convention, the "chief administrative building of the Communion".
 
=== Public Reaction ===
The annexation provoked a reaction of anger in the comments of the post<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/vgkt62/comment/id23rqs/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/vgkt62/comment/id1z6vq/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3</ref><ref name=":3">https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/vgkt62/comment/id20hbq/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3</ref> (some such comments obtaining more upvotes than the original post by a wide margin), with large parts of the civ community feeling this was an unjust solution and imperialistic, as well as contrary to the image Estalia originally wanted to keep of themselves<ref name=":3" />. The reaction through proper posts on the subreddit (as opposed to comments) also seemed to be largely anti-Estalian<ref>https name=":4" //www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/vgmerc/who_wants_to_be_next/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/vgn1i7/i_love_me_some_good_drama_i_can_photoshop_posters/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/vgm76bvgrob3/welcome_to_the_first_civmc_of_pollapalooza_whereto_estalia/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/vgrob3vgqz4v/to_estaliacould_the_relocation_of_ku_have_been_prevented/</ref>. According to a subreddit poll<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/vgqz4vvgm76b/could_the_relocation_of_ku_have_been_preventedwelcome_to_the_first_civmc_of_pollapalooza_where/</ref>, less than 20% of players believed the annexation of Kū was justified.
 
On June 21st, Black_Fusion made another post regarding the annexation<ref name=":0" />, recapping the situation and asking of the international community three actions: "an international embargo to contain Estalian expansionism"; "no recognition to be given to Occupied Kū or any puppet states which may be set up in the region that are not composed of its native people"; and "the declaration that Estalian players may not be armed or armored in any free-world nation".
 
==== See alsoEmbargo ====
On June 22nd, an embargo banning the trade of "Goods or Services within the Borders of Estalia by a state or participating citizen" as well as with any Estalians "outside of their borders, within participating states or on the private property of participating citizens" was signed<ref>https://docs.google.com/document/d/1tZnPFsBMIMr6xfMC136uMd8uMlEiHjvHMkpRu3LRAf4/edit
