Albian Civil War

The Albian Civil War (Albian: Alpani Sivilekonfel) was conflict between the exiled government of Albia, supported by Jonathia and the separatist region of Lovaria, and an extremist right-wing nation dubbing themselves the Albian League.
The conflict sparked as a result of rioting and police brutality during protests that followed the 2021 Albian political scandal. On November 2nd, 2021, an unknown internet user on the social media website DiarPin posted several doctored documents claiming them to be leaked government documents "proving" Commolacian and Fortlese interference in international affairs. Despite the documents being false, many fell for the hoax, and began demanding the resignation of Albian president Desmond Amenson. A terrorist organization known as the Albian League saw an opportunity with the chaos enveloping and took their chances, overthrowing the government, who briefly escaped to Lyvena. Sometime around the middle of the civil war, Lovaria, a region containing a large German minority, declared independence. Conflict over the validity of the declaration of independence led to the Jonathian army intervening in the war. Following this, the League were quickly pushed back, and were eventually entangled in a siege of the Albian capital, Fienerta. In the early days of 2022, the League evacuated Fienerta via helicopters, and escaped east into an unknown location in Canadia. After the remainder of the third-party groups were stamped out, the Albian government declared the war over.
The Albian Civil War is perhaps the largest conflict to occur in Albia since the Northern Civil War in 1979. Casualties number 2,978, majority of these casualties being third-party groups rising up to fight both sides. During the war, ARTK, the national broadcaster, reported that one of the frequencies they transmit on had been seized by a third-party group and used to transmit encoded messages. This frequency was retaken after the war.
International response to the Albian Civil War was mostly in favour of the Albian government. Both Commolacia and Fortland quickly denied involvement in any form of tampering within the Albian government. Lyvena and Canadia, both a target of the Albian League's criticism for various reasons, did not give official comments on the war, though politicians in both nations called for some form of intervention, whether it be economic sanctions or a full entry into the war.

Most countries either supported the Albian government or remained neutral. Jonathia was the only country to actively participate in the war other than the main belligerents, while Lyvena, Corbaria, and Amberia assisted the Albian government by housing government employees and other citizens attempting to leave the country to escape the war. Jonas Albert, the prime minister of Jonathia, condemned the attacks and announced Jonathia's intentions to ensure Lovaria's independence. Albert subsequently met with Amenson and Vasmer on multiple occasions during the conflict.
The Tapanthian Republic called the conflict an "attack on world peace", and together with the Red Cross, pledged aid for civilians caught in the crossfire of the war. The GUIS condemned the war, with Secretary-General Alencar Gilberto saying "If the war escalates further, the world could risk another Great War". Albia applied for membership in the Commonwealth of Nations on December 30th, 2021, with Lovaria doing the same two days later. Both applications have yet to be acted upon, even after the war, though many member states have indicated they would support Albian and Lovarian membership.
