== The War ==
On the morning of March 3rd, 2019, a dispute in Reichspakt over war with Portugal breaks out, leading Doge Enrico to chose Peace with the Franco-British Union over war. Some members of the Reichspakt continued to campaign for war despite Doge Enrico's decision. The result was Morocco getting kicked from the Reichspakt, along with Neu_Koningsberg (Santiago or Quillota) leaving with them. After this, the mayor of the Balearic_Islands chose to leave Reichspakt in favor of joining NATO along with the previously mentioned towns. This was done to protest Doge Enrico's leadership of the nation. 
After these events, Garrett announced at 1:30PM on March 3rd, 2019 that NATO would be going to war with Franco-British Union the next day due to Portugal's claimblocking of Morocco; However, instead of honoring their declaration, members of NATO attacked straight away. Portugal and France were both prepared for the conflict, and heavy fighting broke out on Portugal's southern border. FBU forces pushed into Morocco taking the town's chests. Eventually a ceasefire was called. 
After the ceasefire, a resolution was attempted on the server discord. Due to the sheer number of people present for the resolution admins had to make the negations for town officials only so a resolution could be reached. A resolution was eventually reached, but many players were not aware so the attacks continued for a time.
== The Resolution ==
Though the Franco-British Union achieved a military victory, it was agreed that Portugal would give Morocco a portion of land on the Iberian peninsula. In return Portugal could keep all resources claimed and a a peace was to be held between the two towns. Tensions continued to stay high between some players from Morocco and Portugal.
