==ContextPrelude==
Odresh had been founded in September 20192018 by a group of [[Okashima|Okashimans]], and werewas hoping to join their mother country in the [[North_Coast_Alliance|NCA]]. alongWith witha theirrail homeland,connection Okashima.as Toan doinformal thiscondition to join, Odresh began construction of a railway to connect the new settlement of Odresh City (OC) to the [[Great Overland Railway]] (GOR). The planned route of this rail went through the nationisland of Phylon, which Odresh believed to be long inactive. They had little knowledge about who owned the land, andhaving givennot thatseen it was not on any the past fewrecent claims maps, they saw no problem with using it a stopping point for the rail. AfterIn a few months of workDecember, a connection from OCOdresh City to Phylon was completed in December 2019, and plans were put forward to continue to the next inlandisland on the way to the GOR. A little after this, the citizens of Odresh voted 4-2 to annex Phylon, and aannounced publictheir post was putnew upclaim on the subreddit. SeeingOlivay thatresponded there was no rebuttle to this, onlywith a vague, threatening comment, frombut Olivay thatthis was taken as a joke, and Odresh assumed that no one contested their claim.
 
==Timeline==
 
===First Contact===
On December 21st, while checking up on the Phylon end of the rail, [[Lokilog]], FARF.A.R. of Odresh at the time, discovered a snitch had been placed. Upon breaking it, he saw that the snitch had been placed by Olivay, reinforced to to a Tel Aviv group. Crusher6581, Deputy FAR at the timeF.A.R., contacted Olivay about the snitch, who explained that Phylon was, in fact, active and still claimed. He demanded that they not go to the island, under threat of pearling, and announced closed borders on the subreddit.
 
===Odresh Attempts to Assert Control===
Lokilog and Crusher believed that Olivay's claims to Phylon were invalid. Most structures on the island had been broken into, and the whole place seemed abandoned. For Olivay to claim it,Believing they reasoned, would be holding on to land he wasn't actually using. Withhave the unofficial backing of [[Okashima]], they were overconfident, so the FARF.A.R. and his Deputy went to Phylon, as a way of asserting what they believed was their rightful control over the island in defiance of Olivay's announcement of closed borders. ButHowever, this simple stroll around the island quickly turned into a raid, with the two of them breaking into buildings, popping chests, and breaking snitches. ButUpon when they noticednoticing Olivay online, they quickly returned to the surface andwith dropchestedthree theirstolen valuables.health Inpotions theand end,retreated theto onlyOdresh itemsCity, ofdropchesting valuetheir thatvaluables werein takenpreparation fromfor thean island were three healthimminent potsattack.
 
===Phylon Retaliates===
Mere minutesMinutes after the Odreshis returned to OCOdresh City, Olivay and three others were spotted tripping snitches on the rail. Lokilog and Crusher fled, but Crusher was caught and pearled. Lokilog took refuge in the community center and logged out, where the attackers build a logbox was build to trap him inside.
 
===Okashima and Vinland Respond===
By this point, Odresh had alerted their friends in Okashima and [[Vinland]], who began the journey to OCOdresh to free Lokilog and secure the town. However, becauseOdresh ofhad thenot speedinformed attheir whichallies thingsthat they were developing,at thefault resulting panic, andfor the fact that Odresh was desperate for helpraid, the full situation was not properly conveyed. This led the friendlyleading forcesthem to believe that Phylon had attacked unjustly, a miscommunication that would force tough questions after thewithout facereason. After a few hits from both sides, Olivay's force dispersed while Lokilog was freed from the logbox. He then fled by water to the GOR, and took refuge in NYC.
 
==Aftermath==
 
===Public Reaction===
PostsA werepost was made to the subreddit declaring Crusher pearled and Lokilog wanted, while a PR battle was being fought in the comments. Odresh tried to clarify that their friends had acted without all the facts in an attempt to lessen the negative public response. Later, [[NeosaurNeoTide]] made a post clarifying Okashima's involvement, but this too was met with scrutiny.
 
===Trial and Sentencing===
Once things had begun to calm down, Lokilog, Crusher, and Olivay brought in Askedar, a judge from MtA[[Mount Augusta]], to oversee a trial. Lokilog and Crusher were sentenced to 2 weeks in the end, andEnd; they were to return all stolen items, as well asand provide compensation for broken reinforcements.

===Effect on Odresh===
This conflict send Odresh into its first real period of inactivity, and the nation lay more or less dormant for the next few months. It completely halted the nation's rail project, and in general, dealt a major hit to the nation's morale.

==Looking Back==
Soon after the raid, the old community center, now inside a logbox, was torn down, and the logbox itself was turned into a memorial, a reminder of what happens when one is careless and foolish. This memorial still stands today, next to the new, much better built community center. Since almost immediately after Phylon's retaliatory strike, Lokilog and Crusher have expressed deep regret. Lokilog considers it to be the worst mistake of his civ career, and included an apology in his quitting post in January (although he returned within a few months).
However, with the wound growing old after over a year of silence from both sides, Odresh approched Olivay in January 2020, asking for permission to use Phylon's farms with the promise that they would make no modifications or take anything, other than what they collect from the farms other than farms themselves. Much to their surprise, Olivay agreed, allowing them access for two months. However, Odresh has yet to make use of this, due to their attention being focused on the ongoing war against NATO.
