{{Main|Infinity War}}
As a provincial state of the Grand Duchy of Varkonia for the entire duration of the infinity war, Gabon would initially enter into a state of conflict with [[Corvus]] alongside Varkonia on the 2nd of July 2019. Gabon would later find itself involved in the [[Entente-Laconia War]] and the [[War of The Coalition|War of the Coalition]] against [[Ransakistan]].
Although Gabon had no adept-pvpers who resided within the country, the leadership of Gabon would find other ways to contribute to these conflicts. Lord High Chancellor, BritishWanderer, would be involved in the attack on Evocator in the Varkonian station by preparing and organising the initial trap which would lead to [https://i.imgur.com/YH0eM32.png Evocator's pearling by Varkanos, BennyZ and Callum.] BritishWanderer would also write the UNC's response to the pearling of Evocator with '[https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/c8gdkq/unc_thwarts_plot/ UNC Thwarts plot]' further explaining the actions taken against Corvus, as well as contributing to other public statements on the behalf of the [https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/aydgwu/unc_restores_peace_to_spqr/ UNC], [https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/dm3y4u/regarding_coruvs_an_explanation_and_a_way_forward/ Varkonia] and the [https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/d1d0dj/the_ententes_statement_regarding_yesterdays/ Entente] regarding these conflicts. Vice Chancellor Gobblin on the other hand, would contribute to the wars economically, funnelling stacks of diamond blocks, emerald blocks and obsidian through Varkonia. Gobblin would also assist in sky bridging and the construction of bunkers during the war of the coalition against Ransakistan and the Entente-Laconian war.
===== Aftermath =====
The actions taken by the leadership of Gabon during this period would be controversial amongst some citizens and Gabonese council members, most notably being GetSkinny, who would push through the [https://gabon.vercel.app/law/neutrality-non-alignment-and-anti-war-solidification-act/ Neutrality Act] on the 29th of February 2020. The Neutrality Act's intention was to prevent the leadership of Gabon from being able to take provocative actions without prior approval in any conflict and to prevent any form of lend-lease or sale of goods to any country in a state of conflict.
==== Independence Movement ====
Independence was not foreign to the minds of Gabonese citizens, with the topic being discussed numerous points throughout the union which only became heightened during election periods. Initial independence discussions between Varkonia and Gabon back in mid 2019 would result in further powers and discretionary abilities being devolved to the provincial government in Gabon by Varkonia. However as the population of Gabon grew and developed a culture that steadily became distant from that of Varkonia City, the prior concessions would not be enough to stem the growing political thought.

This was the first council session following the Gabonese civil war in November 2018, and was responsible for a large swath of reforms which would help shape the future of Gabon. While initially the Executive Council of Gabon, the Council was reformed into the Lord's Council as of the passing of the Chancellery Act 2019. The first session would be instrumental in the creation of the Sovereign Fund, funded by the government's acquisition and nationalisation of all natural minerals within Gabon. The first council session would end up voting on 12 separate propositions over the 11 month period.
Responsible for the mass-funding of the arts, culture and education, the first council session and its councillor's influence has permeated throughout society. Both Cllr Tvman999 and Cllr OstenVonStolz are honoured in the Salisbury cathedral's crypt as a testament to their contributions during this period.

Zyra_Bot would be instrumental in reforming the architectural style of Gabon during this council period, and would push for further protection of city green-spaces.

The third council session would see the passage of 11 propositions in just over two months, making this the most productive council session in regards to legislative activity. This council would establish architectural standards and define the Gabonese style and its enforcement throughout the boroughs of Salisbury, Bakerswood and Highgrove via the [https://gabon.vercel.app/law/architectural-standards-act/ Architectural Standards Act 2020]. The third council session would be an defining era for Gabon, containing the debate and passage of the [https://gabon.vercel.app/law/constitution-of-gabon-act/ first Constitution of Gabon] and the establishment of a Gabon-centric civil service, known as the [https://gabon.vercel.app/law/gabon-public-service-act/ Gabon Public Service (GPS)].
The latter part of the third council session would be mired with the Gabon-wide debate of independence from the political union with Varkonia. The council was apprehensive to make the decision of independence without consulting the citizens of Gabon and as such the issue of independence would be opened up to the citizenry in a national referendum.
This referendum would result in a 62% leave vote, and the Lord High Chancellor would call for another council election the following month.

The 4th session has prioritised the economic outlook of Gabon and its peoples, establishing nation-wide XP infrastructure such as farms, ice roads, rails and grinders. These investments have propelled Gabon into an economic boom, enriching the lives of the government and the Gabonese peoples.
Whilst the XP infrastructure constructed was initially government-owned, the council would later privatise the industry, selling a majority of the assets to the newly founded [[Gabon Corporation]] for an undisclosed amount. The Gabon Corporation has played an important role in the economical development of Gabon from late 2020 into 2021, with the corporation being the largest employer in Gabon and funding multiple leisure projects throughout the capital.
In February 2021, it was decided by the Lord High Chancellor in correspondence with the Vice Chancellor that elections would be suspended for the foreseeable future.
