The '''Estalia-Rhode Island War''', also sometimes known as the '''Generic War''' or the '''Rhodesian War''', is an ongoing war on [[CivMC]] between [[Rhode Island]] and several other countries, primarily [[Estalia]] and other members of the [[Elysian Pact
== Prelude==
The war was largely the result of existing animosity between players of the two nations predating server launch. Despite attempts to remedy the issue, notably through the signing of a Non Aggression Treaty between both sides,<ref>https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ppDNoDLNzJwY0wmtDcqkgDLSJUzwZeRC/edit </ref> tensions would continue to rise and eventually escalate into war.

==History==
===
====Initial Confrontations====
On 25 July Rhode Island would perform an attack on a Estalian Slime farm and bunker,<ref> https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/w7k0s8/the_daily_nut_rhode_island_obby_bombs_and_raids/ </ref> justifying it as a response to the events of the day prior.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/w7rrv7/incoming_transmission/ </ref> Attempts to stop the conflict through diplomatic means failed, and the war would continue through a series of back and forth attacks and raids by both sides on each others farms and infrastructure, with Rhode Island losing a significant amount of pearls while Estalia suffered no losses.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/w8w6jc/civmc_beach_party/ </ref><ref>https://tribune.pavia.institute/2022/july/26/conflict-strikes-close-to-home-with-body-found-in-tunnel/ </ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/w9096r/the_daily_nut_rhode_island_raids_estalian_pot/ </ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/w9dcii/shitting_on_shitters_10_minutes_of_ri_running/ </ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/wdjrbf/the_daily_nut_three_rhode_islanders_pearled_today/ </ref>
Line 70 ⟶ 71:
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.
====Escalation====
[[File:Obbybombatzerozero.png|thumb|The aftermath of Rhode Island [[Jargon#Obbybomb|obbybombing]] Estalia's market at 0,0.]]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.▼

On 4 August, [[Shadno]], a neutral [[Icenia|Icenian]] trader selling stone to Estalia, would be pearled by Rhode Island.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/wfnl4s/stone_trader_nether_adventures/ </ref> This pearling would spark a diplomatic incident between the two nations with Icenia releasing a public statement on the matter,<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/wgjb6n/hostile_intentions_2_rhodesian_boogaloo_official/ </ref> condemning the attack and framing it as a continuation of a series of provocations by Rhode Island players against Icenia. Icenia would receive broad support in its condemnation, with many seeing the incident as an attempt by Rhode Island to drag the neutral nation into the war.
Line 82:
On August 9th, u/6ft5_king{{Who}} stated on a reddit post that the Estalians Ez2Clutch, [[SwiftFizz]], and Carson had been pearled<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/wk4ek0/clutch_swift_carson_pearled_post_claims/</ref>, a fact later confirmed by the Daily Nut<ref name=":0">https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/wmehmh/the_daily_nut_the_war_continues/</ref>, marking a large victory for Rhode Island.
===
On August 8th, GravekeeprsGod, formerly Rhode Island's top diplomat, announced the creation of a new state known as The Enclave made up of disillusioned Rhodesians<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/wjqj0k/announcing_the_enclave/</ref>. The Enclave was to be formed out of the former territory of Utopia (another Rhodesian breakaway state) and the Rhodesian territory of Yggdrasil.
====Thomas' Coup in Rhode Island ====
On the 11th, [[GeneralThomas4]] announced on reddit in an open letter that, after a month of absence, they have re-assumed leadership of Rhode Island.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/wldbqu/dad_is_home_from_getting_cigarettes/</ref> Citing concern over obby bombing, which was described as "fundamentally against [Rhode Island's] ethos", and the "undiplomatic nature" of the "zoomers", mentioning players [[Adderral]] and [[Vanax35|Vanax]], they had re-taken control of Rhode Island thanks to their primary ownership of reinforcement group. They expressed the intention to begin to transfer control of the various Rhodesian groups to The Enclave, while being unffiliated with them themselves. Concerned with the future of Rhode Island and wanting their players to continue playing, GeneralThomas4 stated that they will not surrender to Estalia, and proposed conditions to all parties involved in the war.
Line 94:
While many were hopeful for "peace in our time"<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/wldbqu/comment/ijsuyvs/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/wldbqu/comment/ijsrp4o/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3</ref> and commended the return of Rhode Island's previous leader<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/wldbqu/comment/ijsn3vn/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/wldbqu/comment/ijsnc50/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/wldbqu/comment/ijtrsf8/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3</ref>, hostilities continued at an Estalian cactus farm, which was the recipient of obby damage, and no deaths occurring.<ref name=":0" /> Leader of [[Estalia]], [[Gregy165]], afterwards said: "the unfounded obsidian bombing attack on our cactus farm and allies will not go unpunished", suggesting an Estalian counter-attack, and the continuation of the war, was unavoidable.
▲====Estalian Skybridge Offensives====
On August 13th and 14th, Rhode Island successfully defended against two Estalian [[Jargon#Skybridge|skybridge]] attacks. According to a post by then-Rhode Island leader GeneralThomas4 on the incident, the Estalian force consisted of around 20 players.<ref name=":1">https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/wnd4nc/the_olive_branch_is_still_extended/</ref> [[TrueEnergy]] was pearled by Rhode Island fighter [[auqust]] during the attack.
Line 102 ⟶ 100:
Following the failed sky bridge, Estalia attacked the following day. This sky bridge would manage to start but would fail to actually reach the vault.
During these attacks,
Despite the battle, GeneralThomas4 issued a statement saying peace was still a possibility.<ref name=":1" />
====Rhodesian
On August 15th, Rhode Island would attempt an attack on [[SPQR]]’s vault shortly after scouting in neighboring [[Jorvik]].<ref>https://tribune.pavia.institute/2022/august/15/allied-forces-defend-sqpr-vault-against-rhode-island-attack-attempt/</ref> The attack was repelled by Estalian and Titanian reinforcements, with Rhode Island fighters retreating after one of the attackers, DiorSuit, was pearled.
====Bombing
Sometime between the 15th and 17th of August, a [[Moloka|Molokan]] iceroad was obbybombed. While notable in that Moloka is a non-belligerent, Rhode Island proceeded to temporarily give Moloka access to appropriate reinforcement groups in order for them to clean up the grief.<ref name=":4">[https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/wrbect/the_daily_nut_rhode_island_rebrands_to_the_usa/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/wrbect/the_daily_nut_rhode_island_rebrands_to_the_usa/?]</ref>
===Danirague's Leadership===
====Danirague takes over Rhode Island====
Line 117:
Danirague’s reign shifted Rhode Island’s position in the war to be more aggressive, with an official declaration of war on [[Jorvik]], [[Pavia]], [[SPQR]], and [[Titan Industries|Titan]] coming hours after the re-naming of the nation<ref name=":2">[https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/wqvgbt/the_olive_branch_is_no_longer_extended/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/wqvgbt/the_olive_branch_is_no_longer_extended/?]</ref>, the two former of which were identified as continuations of [[Varkonia]] and [[Gabon]] respectively, with Danirague pushing the narrative that the old [[CivClassic]] WP was still present on CivMC.
====
=====Initial skirmishes with Pavia =====
On the 11th of August, Rhode Island fighters entered Pavian territory, breaking snitches around the Pavian vault.<ref>https://tribune.pavia.institute/2022/august/12/pavia-under-attack-rhode-island-breaks-vault-snitches/</ref>
Line 129:
On the 15th, the National Threat Level was raised to Certain, the highest degree of the scale, following “consultation between the dukes, the coast guard and foreign nations”.<ref>https://tribune.pavia.institute/2022/august/15/pavia-will-be-attacked-government-says/</ref>
=====Attempts at Peace =====
While Pavia was being attacked or threatened by Rhode Island, diplomats still attempted to find a peaceful solution to the conflict twice.
Line 136:
After GeneralThomas4’s coup of Rhode Island, occurring just after the initial snitch-breaking by Rhode Island in Pavia on the 11th, and after which he promised reconciliation with and reparations to wronged parties, Pavian diplomats attempted to ensure peace once again in the 13th<ref name=":3" />, coming to similar terms with the new Rhode Island administration despite GeneralThomas justifying the recent sky-bridging of Pavia’s vault by stating that the vault shared similarities with Estalia’s vault designs, that it had been built quickly and that Estalian fighters had been spotted near Pavia.
However, shortly afterwards,
The takeover of [[Danirague]] destroyed all hope of peace between the two nations.
Line 155:
As it became safe to leave the vault, the extent of the aftermath of the attack was slowly discovered, with significant obby-grief being placed in the residential caves<ref name=":4" /> and around the Townhall.<ref>https://twitter.com/PavianOutpost/status/1560223900474155009</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/PavianOutpost/status/1560224007546454016</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/PavianOutpost/status/1560224121455362051</ref>
