Iceland-Jihad War

The Iceland-Jihad War was a brief yet major conflict between the Jihad State and joint Icelandic-Diablan forces. It began and ended on SD79 (July 3rd). Iceland begun the war for unclear motives. Theories include supposed breaking of treaties by the Jihad State and attempts at revenge for the Events of SD78. 
== Initial Condemnation of Iceland ==
The conflict drew immediate international condemnation from across the globe due to the unclear motivation for Iceland's attack. Some of the nations vocally against Iceland's aggression were the Augustine Republic, the Federal League, Rosenbucht, Siberia, and Bengal.
== Jihad State's actions ==
=== Colosseum Incident ===
Shortly after the war begun, Iceland had several chests blown up, as well as the Colosseum, which had been in the works for over 40 server days. Following reports from Arabia, it became known that members of the Jihad State used invisibility potions to enter unseen and destroy the structures. This caused further international outcry, as it not only was deemed an unnecessary destruction, but also potentially went against the server rules.
=== Attack on Non-Combatant ===
One of the members of the Jihad State attacked a non-combatant who was spectating a battle with Iceland. 
== Iceland Gains International Support ==
The attack on the spectator caused further outrage, and, along with the Colosseum incident, caused several nations previously condemning Iceland to withdraw said condemnation, and even begin to endorse Iceland's efforts. This included the Augustine Republic, Rosaria, and Diabla. The Federal League announced that it would support neither side, claiming absolute neutrality.
Diabla began militarily supporting Iceland, and captured the city of Harar from the Jihad State.
== Banning and End of the War ==
Following griefing in Arabian territory by the Jihad State, who were presumably angry about the shift in favor towards Iceland, several members of the Jihad State were banned from the server. Several nations declared war on the Jihad State at this time ("peak funny", one could say), these being Rome and Rosaria. At this point, the Jihad State was unable to continue the war, and it concluded.
== Aftermath ==
Several members of the Jihad State who had not contributed to the griefing (and thus not been banned) left the nation, forming new, more peaceful states.
Arabia, Siberia, and Rosaria demanded territory from the Jihad State. Diabla ceased its occupation of Harar.
Some of the banned users began spamming racial slurs and pro-nazi messages through the dynmap website, which the mods were unable to ban people from. This was quickly resolved.
