The Proxy Iron Trade War was a small, but quite impactful preemptive war in the southeast asian Archipelago. The start of the conflict involved a major financial exploit, where a mistake in the extranational economic policies of the Philippines enabled traders from SusTown to extract large sums of money from the Filipino economy into their own, requiring very little iron. 
Upon noticing the exploitation, Filipino representative eeveekeeper reacted with assasination threats and accusing SusTown of systematic theft. This led to a quasi-declaration of war by SusTown, as war couldn´t officially be declared yet and the subsequent attack of the Filipino army. 
The Filipinos were vastly more advanced in military gear and technology. the first attack was repelled, leading to, following a couple of delays, the defeat of the first Philippino attack.
Following these events, SusTown started a full mobilisation northwards, to end the conflict. this however, failed due to logistical issues and attrition at sea.
Within the following hour, there were several attempts by the remaining Filipino forces to launch a suprise attack on SusTown. In the last attempt, a naval invasion on the northern coast of New Guinea, the attacking Filipino forces were caught in a pincer movement, leading to a decisive victory by the Imposters, in which they captured much of the enemy´s military gear.
In a final push to defeat their enemy to the north, SusTown invaded Manila, killing or routing all of the remaining army and pillaging the local resources.
The victory in this war has left SusTown in a very favourable postition, through spoils of war and the profits from their initial financial exploits. They can now trade internationally
