Hêvîstani-Riddenheim War

The Hêvîstani-Riddenheim War is a conflict involving various state-sponsored and non-state actors. On January 31st, 2025, in response to the growing isolationism and aggressionism in Riddenheim, Vi Lyssara posted a call-to-action for the international community to no longer recognize the Riddenheim government as the legitimate government of Riddenheim. Vi viewed the leader of Riddenheim, JZCars, as an incompetent, isolationist, aggressive, an destabilizing force in the world. Before she made the call to action, however, she posted a denouncement of JZCars' foreign policy for withdrawing from the Hildryn Treaty Organization (HTO) as well as the Golden Belt Initiative (GBI). In her denouncement, she had warned JZCars that if he continues with isolationist policies, which she viewed as a policy that would bring Riddenheim down a path of destruction, that she would call on the world to no longer recognize his government as legitimate and sever all diplomatic ties with Riddenheim. She said:"The people of the world shouldn't have to put up with the government of Riddenheim, but work with and collaborate with them for the betterment of both parties. We want to work with Riddenheim on many things, including trade and other diplomatic efforts, but the leadership of Jzcars acts against this goal."https://discord.com/channels/1280863861175484457/1333798132760186880/1335002879177785354Vi Lyssara would later write the JZ Report, a detailed document investigating the reason why JZCars had left. She had concluded that Riddenheim withdrew from the alliance out of nationalist zeal, and that this continued policy would lead to negative consequences for Riddenheim.
Following negotiations between Hêvîstan and Riddenheim's deterioration, the war has continued. Vi cited a violation of the treaty as well as the refusal to denounce a transphobe warmongerer has lead to the war's continuation. Vi has stated that this time, Hêvîstan will not show mercy on Riddenheim.
==Background==
After Vi Lyssara wrote the JZ Report, the international community vehemently opposed the Riddenheim government. After many denouncements after the JZ Report was written, JZCars backtracked on the "Riddenheim First Policy" and tried opening diplomatic talks again, until JZCars stepped down from Riddenheim leadership. However, before JZCars left his position, he had declared war on Hêvîstan. Any hope regarding Riddenheim changing their ways was stopped when he had declared war on him.
The Communes of Hêvîstan was originally willing to accept the new regime change in Riddenheim as a positive for the world. However, the war changed their position. Vi mobilized the Tora Parastina Civakê (TPC) and starting preparing for a war not only against JZCars, whom had just left his position, but the entirety of Riddenheim. With a call-to-arms, the TPC International Brigade was formed as a means to bring together an international coalition against Riddenheim. At the same time, the TPC was being accused of plotting genocide, but it was after the discovery of several spies with the intent to spread false information about the TPC and ruin their image on the world stage that proved that Riddenheim had more support than just JZCars. The TPC denied all genocide claims and worked to kick out any member which contributed to the narrative of genocide against Riddenheim.
Riddenheim had gotten into contact with The Black Dawn PMC as well as the Summer Company to work with him. The Black Dawn is a mercenary service, and was originally hired by Riddenheim to fight in the war. However, with the Summer Company turning more towards being openly based on the Nazis, the Black Dawn started to work with the Communes of Hêvîstan instead - sharing information and joining their side in the war. The Summer Company is now openly allied with Riddenheim despite being inspired by the Nazis.
== Peace Talks ==
On February 4th, 2025, JZCars got into contact with Vi and stated his intentions to make a peace deal. Originally, he was wanting a white peace deal, but she was concerned about Riddenheim's foreign policy attitude would cause another war with other nations. She cited that because of the poor foreign affairs, which was the root of the war, she wanted JZCars to not deal in foreign policy. However, he was concerned about Hêvîstan's influence in Riddenheim's politics. He said that Riddenheim and Hêvîstan's politics were separate, and he wanted to keep it that way. Vi and JZCars came up with an agreement that Riddenheim's foreign policy affairs would go through an international council to review their foreign policy before implementation, allowing criticism and can teach JZCars better foreign policy skills. After their agreement, on the 5th of February, Vi announced that the war between Riddenheim and Hêvîstan has ended.
== Continuation ==
Negotiations betwen Hêvîstan and Riddenheim had restarted following a diplomatic breakdown between the two during a deliberation over the first Riddenheim foreign policy decision. Debates were heated over the peace treaty that they had both signed over concerns of national sovereignty. Vi tried to reconcile professionally, but negotiations were heated. When Sean, a now banned member of the server, joined the Riddenheim foreign policy groupchat, he immediately began making threats to Hêvîstan, threatening Vi and making transphobic comments (Vi, outside of roleplay, is a transgender woman.)
Negotiations immediately broke down. Following the closing of negotiations, Vi had declared war on Riddenheim.
Before the war started, Riddenheim made threats towards the Summer Company for alleged threats made between the two leaders. They demanded:
# Kick out Malicio and kill him
# Convert to Christsquidan 
# Pay them back 16 diamond blocks 
# Become a Riddenheim vassal
Obviously, these demands are impossible to meet. It's likely just to be used as justification for a war instead of actual demands.
