KOEL/KOZ, which withdrew from the war, is shown in light green. Former Rhodesian territory which seceded during the war is shown in light orange.]]The war, and its origin as a conflict born out of old pre-launch grudges, was seen with great cynicism by a large part of the community,<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/w87n24/the_current_state_of_civ_mc/ </ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/w88bqd/we_all_saw_it_coming_tbh/ </ref> who would see it as a predictable repeat of similar conflicts on previous servers, mockingly giving it the title of the "Generic War".▼

On 26 July, the nation of [[Kallos]] would publicly declare its neutrality on the conflict,<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/w85183/kallos_declares_neutrality_in_the_riestalia/ </ref> a few days later Kallos would become one of the founding members of the [[Non-Aligned Movement]],<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/wbflz7/announcing_the_nonaligned_movement/ </ref> a movement of nations who sought to distance themselves from the conflict, and which notably included as founding members several other nations that had previously been part of Rhode Island.

On 1 August, Rhode Island would perform an attack on the Estalian trading hub of 0,0, obbybombing and breaking several bunkers, traps, shops and, notably, griefing the [[Gregy165]] statue and three of the signs placed by players at 0,0.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/wdckwm/rhode_island_obby_bomb_break_00_signs/ </ref> The attack and its perceived nature as grief of non-military infrastructure would spark international outrage, including an official condemnation of the attack by [[Pavia]].<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/wderv6/the_principality_of_pavia_condemns_rhode_islands/ </ref> In a statement released the following day,<ref> https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/we1wa9/estalian_lies_and_the_underappreciated_value_of/ </ref> Rhode Island would justify its actions by framing most of the infrastructure targeted as being of a military nature and apologizing for the grief of the Gregy165 statue and signs.
