Grundeswald-New Danzilona relations: Difference between revisions

'''Grundeswald–New Danzilona relations''' refers to the foreign relations between the [[Grundeswald|Kingdom of Grundeswald]] (and to a lesser extent, the entire [[Holy Krautchan Empire]]) and [[New Danzilona]] (including the entire [[Danzilonan Federation]]), which includes the diplomatic, cultural, and economic ties and tensions between the two nations on [[Civcraft 2.0]]. They were close geographically and shared a border with each other's allies, but the two countries were not apart of any mutual organisations and were largely hostile to each other mostly on ideological grounds. The Grundeswegians formed a pseudo-satirical far-right, jingoistic, and chauvinistic government and society, whereas New Danzilona was a socially progressive liberal democracy for most of its existence. Although relations were initially neutral and sometimes even friendly, New Danzilona was in fact Grundeswald's closest neighbour who didn't sympathise with their ideology and vice versa, and so NDZ became Grundeswald's natural target for griefing, raiding, and trolling as NDZ mostly attempted to keep their distance but also sometimes engaged in counter-trolling. Grundeswald also opposed NDZ through their anti-[[World Police]] sentiment, as NDZ largely favoured the WP and was home to some of its fighters, like [[TheTrackball]] and [[JPEGz]].

Admittedly wanting to use the situation to "stir shit," the Grundeswegians headed to NDZ on June 20th. Their arrival in the wake of Roark's post made some Danzilonans wary, and so the Grundeswegians invited them to NDZ's fountain area to apologise for such feelings, an event they'd dubbed the Grundespology. When the Grundeswegians who were wearing prot were asked to remove it, they ignored the demands and began to throw eggs everywhere. The Danzilonans fired snowballs back at the Grundeswegians, for which the Grundeswegians pearled three of the Danzilonans, including Roark himself. In reponse to the killings, the [[Danzilonan Security Force]] pearled all of the Grundeswegians present and freed the imprisoned Danzilonans, bringing the Grundespology to an end. With about half of all Grundeswegians now pearled, the Danzilonans set up an inpromptuimpromptu court of justice to clarify the situation, get input from both sides, and dole out sentences.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/DanzilonanCourt/comments/28qnyh/new_danzilona_v_greenkitten_killer_chris_and/</ref> On June 24, a verdict was released, giving the Grundeswegians various sentences of days in the end, compensation, and indefinite bans from entering New Danzilona.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/DanzilonanCourt/comments/28xvo5/verdict_new_danzilona_v_greenkitten_killer_chris/</ref>While in the end, the Grundeswegians protested for their release, but their sentences were ultimately stuck to.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Civcraft/comments/28odw1/chris_here_from_the_end_season_2_trailer/</ref><ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/292eyb/help/</ref> On June 26th, the last of the pearled Grundeswegians were freed and banished from NDZ, and the attentions of both nations turned elsewhere for the time being.

In the HKE, Grundeswald refocused their attention to Istanbulite independence and attempted to get them to join the HKE, but to no avail.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Grundeswald/comments/2gkyzg/at_the_request_of_kovio_an_official_release_from/</ref> Fatigued by foreign conflict and also torn apart by personal disagreements about the direction their nation had been taking, theythose remaining Grundeswegians instead looked inward and began working on building projects and nationbuilding.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Grundeswald/comments/2hzemd/the_circle_discussion/

A small diplomatic incident occurred when, in the early hours of the morning on December 7, 2014, Danzilonan citizen [[Des23]] and Augustan citizen spada81 griefed a statue of Gensokyo's autocrat, Screenname, by building a penis made of snow blocks on it. Screenname was offended and demanded it be removed, to which the two griefers complied, but then she also issued a private bounty on spada. spada was pearled and brought to Grundeswald's vault with many unarmed Danzilonans and Augustans in pursuit. Upon reaching the vault, not much was done besides a protest for the release of spada, who it was agreed would be released the next day. However, after the pursuers had cleared out, Des23 was also pearled and put into the vault. Having rejoined NDZ after the Riverford War, she called in her Danzilonan friends to help secure her release. Tensions were high, and eventually a compromise was reached where Des would be moved to a third party vault and released the next day.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Civcraft/comments/2okdai/bountied_and_pearled_for_putting_a_penis_on_a/cmnxf7o/?context=999</ref> The incident did little to damage already deteriorated NDZ-Grundeswald relations but did help reinforce them.

In December 2014, Titan was put under the new management of HanTzu, who promptly gave the Titan vault to notorious raider Papa_Pound, sparking the [[Titan War]]. Grundeswald, who was allied with HanTzu's [[Chanada]] and hateful of the World Police, traded useful supplies with them and made regular supply runs to the vault to bolster its defences.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Civcraft/comments/40ghq4/20_confession_thread/cyujr69/

Both Grundeswald and NDZ founded successor nations on [[Civcraft 3.0]], with [[Nova Danzilona]] being founded on the very first day of the server in the [[Volans]].<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/4vg1v2/nova_danzilona_has_officially_been_founded/</ref> Grundeswald also founded a successor nation named GRINSSR later on in August 2016.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Civcraft/comments/4y3q9u/official_grinssr_claims_in_tjikko/</ref>The two nations were now very far apart, however, and so diplomatic relations were never again established between Grundeswegians and Danzilonans. The only contact between the Grundeswegians and the Danzilonans since the end of 3.0 has been through Lowtuff, who remains in the Grundeswald discord as of May 2022.
