Taukingur Wars

The Taukingur Wars refer to a series of conflicts between the leader of Taukland and numerous other nations. The Taukingur Wars are the single longest and most widely involved connected conflicts in Season 4.
Beginning with his exile from Randalia, the Taukingur Wars eventually ended with the Providence Museum Affair, after which Taukingur was banned from the world, and the nation of Taukland was dissolved.
== First Taukingur War ==
The First Taukingur War was an initially internal conflict within Randalia. The conflict started when Taukingur destroyed part of "the pride of Randalia" RNV Braus airship, unintentionally, according to Tauk. This led the leader of Randalia, Cleb Pleb, to retaliate by discharging and banishing Tauk, and hiring international assassins to hunt him down. Tauk eventually surrendered.
=== Treaty ===
 The Treaty of Rhandhumbhutfuk Mountain
 *Taukinger is KOS within Randalian claims, any items he has in his possession are forfeit
 *Taukinger is forbidden from using any armor at all, and any weapons must be used in self defense
 *The second clause in this treaty is in effect until 07/10/2024
=== Aftermath ===
After signing the peace deal, Taukingur remained stateless for a period of time, having been banished previously from the United Free Shores due to the Old Hardtack Incident, and being denied entry to the Slavenkust upon request. Taukingur eventually moved to a group of islands southeast of Randalia and established Taukland. Due to the hostility of Randalia, and open threats from Randalia to punish those who supported Tauk, little to no nations sought relations with the Taukland state.
== Second Taukingur War ==
The Second Taukingur War was a conflict Taukland fought against Randalia and the United Free Shores. It started when Tauk refused to renounce the claim on Lobsterclaw Island. Additionally, Cleb realized that Tauk had broke the armor clause of the first treaty, leading him to intervene. Taukingur was swiftly defeated. The armor was destroyed, along with pretty much anything Taukingur dropped when defeated. Taukingur was put on trial by the UFS in Skull Island and was sentenced to death by guillotine. In the peace, the original treaty was upheld and Tauk relinquished the claim over Lobsterclaw Island.
=== Aftermath ===
One issue that was not solved in the treaty was the disputed land of Al-Clebaz. Al-Clebaz is a Randalian administered territory where a small peninsula in the north was in an overlapping claim with Taukland. Taukland did not cede this claim after the war.
Following the Second Taukingur War, the status of Taukingur as an international 'outlaw' became widely known, with those such as the leader of Ottofornia declaring him to be "the Antichrist" and proposing a united war against his state.
== Gasbraltar Crisis ==
The Gasbraltar Crisis was a inter-war crisis that had taken place between Randalia and Taukland, and was an important prelude to the Third Taukingur War. In the early morning hours of June 30th, Randalian forces conducting military maneuvers in the Midterranian Sea had encountered a derelict airship, filled to the brim with cobblestone. More worryingly, the ship also had possessed 3 soul sand blocks, a vital instrument in creating The Wither. Randalia went on to collect the ship, and stored it in a remote location. It would turn out to be a ship belonging to Taukland. Later on the same day, ClebPleb, the leader of Randalia, had made a diplomatic demand from Taukland to relinquish their claim on the southernmost peninsula of Taukland. Randalian colonial efforts hinged on the planned construction of a bridge to connect the large island of Taukland and the rest of the continent. War had almost broke out before Taukingur agreed to the terms set by the Treaty of Ramapo.
=== Treaty ===
 The Treaty of Ramapo
 *Taukland cedes the Southern Peninsula of the Military Outpost, hereby dubbed "Gasbraltar"
 *The Randalian Council will return Taukingur's ship and cobblestone
 *The Randalian Council will sign a non-aggression treaty with Taukland. If Taukland takes an offensive action against another nation, this non-aggression pact will be considered void.
== Upland Crisis ==
The Upland Crisis was an international dilemma between Taukland and several other nations late on June 30th, which occurred concurrently with the buildup to the Third Taukingur War. The crisis began when Taukland imposed a claim on the entire territory of the nation of Haugalandet, which it referred to as Upland. Not long after, the Slavenkust declared that they did not recognize Taukland's claims, and supported the sovereignty of Haugalandet. Rather than withdrawing its claim, Taukland attempted to impose control over the territory, and declared war on Haugalandet for "claiming [their] land". This was despite the fact that the nation had claimed ownership of its land before Taukland even existed. After nations including the Slavenkust, Randalia, and the Horvath Tribe pushed support for Haugalandet, Taukland retracted its threats against the nation, however kept its claim over the land.
== Third Taukingur War ==
The Third Taukingur War was fought between Taukland and the Horvath Tribe with the Honorable Boner Society. 
=== Prelude ===
The tension between the two started when Tauk accepted an offer to assassinate the leader of Horvath, Michael M. Shroom, in exchange for netherite armor. This turned Mike Shroom instantly hostile, as Shroom had been one of the only leaders not on hostile terms with Tauk and had helped him in negotiations multiple times. The Honorable Boner Society was also turned hostile to Tauk because of their close relationship with Horvath. The ensuing "battle" that followed was a swift defeat for Tauk as he had no armor or weapons.
After this incident, Tauk requested to tour Horvath, which was denied. Horvath proceeded to outright ban Tauk from entering its territory. Tauk then went right up to the border and took pictures. Horvath responded by extending the ban range by 500 blocks, and warned Tauk that if he continued to stay he would be killed. Tauk countered by implementing a similar ban on Shroom from Taukland's surrounding territory. Shroom laughed this ban off and stated openly he would not obey it, citing the lack of a justification and lack of enforceability of the ban. Tauk responded, although later he would deny, that he considered them to be in a state of war if Shroom wouldn't follow.
=== War ===
Shroom, upon hearing that Tauk considered them to be in a state of war, started chasing Tauk's airship with his runner ship. Tauk fled, and tried to negotiate with Shroom as they were fleeing. Tauk asked for the fighting to stop, but neither of the possible terms he presented were acceptable for Shroom. The first possible term stated that both bans were dropped, to which Shroom didn't want Tauk to enter his nation. The second possible term was that Shroom followed the ban in Taukland, which Shroom denied as he found it completely unenforceable given the weak state of Taukland. Shroom continued to chase Tauk and fired bullets at him from his revolver. Tauk started ascending, to which Shroom followed. They continued ascending, eventually reaching 800 blocks above sea level, before Kucko of HBS would arrive and almost instantly caught up and killed Tauk.
The battle was the first battle to take place entirely within airships (the Old Hardtack Incident was mostly in airships but was also briefly on the ground.) In addition it is so far the only battle fought entirely in the air.
=== Treaty ===
In the treaty, Shroom forced Taukland to rescind the ban, while keeping his own ban on Tauk. In addition to these demands Shroom also claimed Tauk's airship and donated it to the president of Skull Island.
 The Treaty of Tauk's Airship 
 *Taukland will follow the previously mentioned ban from within 500 blocks of Horvath Tribe territory.
 *Taukland will rescind their ban of Michael M. Shroom within 500 blocks of Taukland territory.
 *The Horvath Tribe will confiscate Tauk's Airship and donate it to Scotty for his museum project.
== Providence Museum Affair ==
Following his loss in the Third Taukingur War and the confiscation of his airship, Taukingur sought to erase any possibility for the victors to impose "humiliating" punishments against him, including the creation of a war museum in Providence, Skull Island (then part of the United Free Shores). To prevent this, Taukingur completely destroyed the under-construction museum while the leaders of the UFS were away. Rather than hiding his responsibility for the destruction, Taukingur openly professed to Scotty that he was responsible. For this, he was permanently banished from the world. He would be given the opportunity to return if he agreed to rebuild the museum, which he refused as he found it a humiliating punishment.
