[[File:joms coe dispute.png|thumb|300px|The claims of the [[Jomsviking Confederation]] and the [[City of England]] as of November 19, 2021]]
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 it'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.
==Incident==
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.
In the City of England, which Jomsviking had renamed 'Jorvik', the city bastion was broken and replaced with one under Jomsviking, protected with DRO. Additionally, all English banners and signs were removed from the city, which was now spammed with somewhere inbetween 100-200 reinforced Jomsviking banners and signs, and pig heads. After a couple hours of cleanup the damage was that same day undone by [[tomattan]] and a number of CoE citizens, while the diplomatic crisis was still developing.
<br>Quickly, support for [[City of England|England]] arose. According to [[FE_Flags]], as of 9:30am EST, [[City of England|England]] had the support of "[[Acadia]], [[Imperial Kingdom of Fish|Fish]], [[Eon Empire|Eon]]...Parts of the [[NDI]] and [[NWO]], and [[Dankia]]"; indeed, this was likely an underestimate, as many players from [[Columbia]], [[Sussex]], [[Imperial Federation of Eddie Murphy|Eddie Murphy]], and [[Yoahtl]] all voiced support for, and in many cases intent to fight for, [[City of England|England]] in this time. In the following hours, [https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/qxgn85/tonight/ first LIQUIDSTEREO] and [https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/qxhyj1/england_is_our_city/ then GatorGlitch] would make Reddit posts informing the world of the [[City of England]]'s predicament, both of which were met with strongly positive responses.<br>▼
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]], pearl-on-sight within [[Acadia]] for "treason", for "cho[osing] to give aid and comfort to [[[Acadia]]'s] enemies", and [[LIQUIDSTEREO]] of [[City of England|England]] pursued a campaign to kick the [[Jomsviking Confederation]] from the [[Plus-Minus Concordat]].<br>▼

The conflict was finally put to rest by 3:30pm EST, with the agreement of the [[Jomsviking Confederation]] to pay the [[City of England]] an unspecified amount of reparations.
