Karta Crisis

The Karta Crisis was a small battle between the residents of Karta (then Kangaroo Island) and a small EGR colonization fleet whose motives are still not known. The battle resulted in Kangaroo Island declaring its independence from the Weltreich and the establishment of the Australasian Bloc. 
== History ==
On 21st of December, 2948 at around 10:00 AM, a small fleet comprising of 40 EGR troops landed on Emu Bay, Kangaroo Island. The small fleet was supposedly given orders to reach the largest town on the island and capture it for the EGR, though this is not confirmed. They reached Kingscote at around 5 in the afternoon. They marched to the Mayor and then the officer of the feet, Henry Schmidt ordered them to "surrender or face the full might of the Ecological Galactic Republic!". This was just a bluff, as they only had the 40 troops. The Mayor of Kingscote denied surrendering to the fleet. She was then immediately shot dead by Henery. A small police fleet arrived at the scene a few minutes later and shot at Henery, severely injuring Henery in the knee. Henery then ordered the fleet to attack "anyone who isn't us!". He then attempted to retreat back to the ship but was bitten by a pygmy copperhead and died from its venom. Meanwhile, the fleet was gunning down anyone they saw. A single man by the name of Micheal Fryer grabbed a gun off of a dead police officer and killed 6 officers. He then shouted out "DON'T ABANDON HOPE!" before being shot several times. Several people afterward picked up various weapons and charged to the fleet. The fight lasted around 5 minutes before all 33 remaining members of the fleet had either been killed, nearly fatally wounded, or had just run off into the bush, likely to be bitten by a snake or simply die of dehydration. Micheal Fryer, after the battle who was barely clinging on to life, declared "No longer shall we oppressed by the likes of the Weltreich or anyone else or that matter. I hereby declare this glorious island free of all oppression, whether it be from Nazi or Eco." He then succumbed to his wounds and died. His 7-year-old son Jones Fryer was elected emperor of the whole of Kangaroo Island, and the Kangaroo Island Empire was born. The small micronation lasted up until the 31st, where Veergen made a deal with the 7-year-old to grant the KIE the entiraty of Australasia if the new proposed state would be a Weltreich protectorate. Jones agreed, but decided not to become the Australfuhrer of this state, reasoning that "Being emperor is really boring and I don't get to hang out with my friends as much." He then abdicated and the Australasian Bloc was formed.
