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|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 its kings [[DoofWarrior]] and [[GatorGlitch]]. Both were [[Plus-Minus Concordat]] members.<br>

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>

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>
