In November 2021, the [[Jomsviking Confederation]] was a young (~six-week-old) nation situated in the shallow [[+,-]], consisting of a mix of old [[Nyasaland|Nyasan]] players and new players, united under a [https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Viking|%7CViking Viking] culture. The [[City of England]], by contrast, was an old (having existed continuously since [[Jargon#SOTW|SOTW]]), small, building nation, which was at the time largely inactive due to the vacation of itsit's kings [[DoofWarrior]] and [[GatorGlitch]] being on an international trip. Both were [[Plus-Minus Concordat]] members.<br>

The [[Jomsviking Confederation]] had displayed interest in the [[City of England]] as early as October 2021, but this interest was largely brushed off as jokes about the [https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Heathen_Army|real-world Viking invasions of England]. This interest however was fueled by a desire for a biome where Jomsviking could grow melons.

On November 19, at 1:00am EST, [[Bloof_]] of [[Acadia]] pinged the two English kings to ask if they "[knew] about [[Jomsviking Confederation|jomsviking]] taking over". Though [[cat_alunya]] of the [[Jomsviking Confederation]] was first to respond with "they dont care", [[DoofWarrior]] replied at 7:00am EST that "England is my city"; he replied that "we do care, we're not inactive". Within two more hours, it was confirmed by [[Seekinq]] of the [[Imperial Kingdom of Fish]] that [[City of England|England]]'s alliance agreed with them; "[[PMC]] still recognises CoE as an independent state", wrote the fishy Emperor.<br>

TheIn the end the [[Jomsviking Confederation]] officially backed down, rescinding its claims to [[City of England|England]]. However, many members of the [[Jomsviking Confederation]] continued to act as though [[City of England|England]] was theirs throughout the afternoon (EST) of November 19, as exemplified by [[CrazyWazy55]]'s declaration that "we can say we own [[City of England|england]] all we want and you can't do jackshit about it", or [[Dubcek Yourself]]'s reply of "no" to [[DoofWarrior]]'s decree that "if [[Jomsviking Confederation|jomsburg]] removes their flags and signs, we will not have any quarrel with them". As a consequence, [[Acadia]]n Prime Minister [[Owain_X]] declared [[cat_alunya]], Warmother of the [[Jomsviking Confederation]], an legal citizen of Acadia, pearl-on-sight within [[Acadia]] for "treason", for "cho[osing]choosing to give aid and comfort to [[[Acadia]]'s] enemies" unless she renounced her Acadian citizenship, and [[LIQUIDSTEREO]] of [[City of England|England]] pursued a campaign to kick the [[Jomsviking Confederation]] from the [[Plus-Minus Concordat]].<br>

On the day of the incident, [[Seekinq]] ironically referred to the [[Plus-Minus Concordat]] - the alliance which housed both disputing parties - as "the most stable alliance on [[CivClassic]]s"; this joke would be realized much further than was known at the time. As a consequence of the incident, the seven-nation alliance found itself split, between the [[Jomsviking Confederation]] and [[Kallos]] (who had voiced support for the [[Jomsviking Confederation]] throughout the incident, though without direct intervention), and [[Acadia]], [[Imperial Kingdom of Fish|Fish]], [[Sussex]], and [[City of England|England]]. Tho later Sussex Switched Sides due to a disagreement with Acadia. Though the contents of the [[PMC]] internal diplomatic channels are as yet unknown to the majority of [[CivClassic]], the shape of events is clear: the alliance faced irreconcilable differences, and dissolved. The [[PMC]] officially ended on November 22, 2021.

In the wake of the [[PMC]]'s collapse, [[City of England|England]] quickly set out to establish relationships with as many close nations as possible; at this it succeeded, securing arrangements with [[Acadia]], [[Imperial Kingdom of Fish|Fish]], [[Avalon]], and [[MythrilAvalon]] almost immediately. It applied for [[Augustan Federation]] membership, but was denied. [[City of England|England]] later joined the [[NDI]] as an Administrator (IE developed, leading nation) on November 24.
