Petrograd-Albuqerque War

The Petrograd-Albuqerque War was an armed conflict fought between Petrograd against Albuquerque and Red Star mercenaries. It began as a result of Albuquerquean citizens extracting sand from Petrogradian territory. Petrograd quickly reacted by declaring war, with Albuquerque hiring mercenaries hailing from the Red Star. The war itself saw little fighting, with Petrograd surrendering and choosing to become a protectorate of the quickly growing Occidentalis, which would incorporate the Rashidun, Yahooriak, and Kofinneia soon after the war. Albuquerque itself would join Columbia as a state 3 years later.
