Zefranian Coalition War

The Zefranian Coalition War or Vanyr-Zefranian War was sparked when, after tensions being on the rise for a long time an ultimatum was delivered by the High Kingdom of Vanyr to the Luxite Kingdom of Zefrania, which then was a vassal of Vanyr. Vanyr was swift to assemble a large coalition, to enforce swift and decisive military action. While the Zefranians almost stood alone against the horde of nations supporting the Vanyrian cause.
== Background ==
=== Aldan Situation ===
From the summer of 2022 up until December, the Kingdom of Alda was being declared war upon by a world-wide coalition, spearheaded by ComradeAstro and GBN. DUTY. DUTY's goals were to destroy the Aldan state, which had been spreading it's influence in southern Syltör and northern Ummarnu through aggressive expansionism, seeing them fighting in two wars. The southern Ummarnu nations, known as Vanyr and Zefrania, the two most legitimate successor states to the Sinatra-Mafia, the latter having fought in it, joined the Kingdom of Alda, due to fears of invasion, caused by the unstable political enviornment in Southern Ummarnu after the fall of the Sinatra-Mafia.
==== Great Zefranian Purges ====
The Federal Kingdom of Zefrania, as it was formally known, joined Alda in an incompetent way, which sparked a major uprising in the towns of Blyth Yanren and Takmandan, this uprising was headed by the mayors of the two rebelling towns, Xoda Vinquist (former Hejetür), and Lordivoldmordi. Zefrania was quick to crush this uprising, fighting a few skirmishes in multiple cities. The rebel demands were that the Zefranian Tenoch Satüs Hejetür and Grand Chancellor Iou Zahir must resign from their positions and become council members, Zefrania had to undo its vassalisation by Alda and Zefrania would become a democratic state. 
These demands were deemed outrageous and unacceptable by the loyalists, lead by the Tenoch and Grand Chancellor. This, in their eyes, would be giving up everything that they had spilled blood for in the Sinatran Civil War. They called upon help from Alda and recieved it, and integrated shortly thereafter to regain a sense of stability and normality after the events which shattered the nations activity rates.
==== Zefranian Integration ====
A few years after this purge, Satüs Hejetür, the Tenoch would pass away. Iou Zahir, was on vacation at this time, on a cruise in the east of Rathnir visiting old friends of his. When the news were delivered to him, he was distraught and felt that he could not return. He resigned his position, and Zefrania was essentially left with nobody left to lead it. The central Aldan authority issued a referendum. Which primary goal was to determain whether Zefrania wanted to remain its own duchy or join the Vanyrian one. 
The vote was reportedly rigged by the Vanyrians. The Zefranians saw this as unjust, and were left bitter as Vanyrian boots now marched through their streets.
=== Return of Zefrania ===
Satüs Hejetür, had been revived through divine intervention and grace. When he heard how his lands had been treated, as soon as he passed, he was angered. As he returned to his capital he saw Vanyrian flags in the streets. Blinded by rage, he went up to the Duke of Vanyr and denounced him, telling him that he would be retaking his lands and avenging those who had fallen to Vanyrian tyranny. 
Iou Zahir had returned, where they rendezvoused with Eight Hejetür, a loyalist and Zefranian nationalist in his town of Karabinia in Kutaiyara. A nation established by the democratic refugees from the purges.
