==History==
Isle Arcet was first believed to have been founded by pirates from Finnestesia around 1050 C.E. They referred to it "Arcet", coming from the Old Finnesian word "arcile", meaning frigid. In the 1200s, Anglia sailed to this island and found old stones reading in Old Finnesian, all with the term "Arcet", so the Anglese then named it "Isle Arcet" from their findings and started making claims on this island. The island wasn't found to have much use, until the 1700s, when Anglese expeditions discovered plenty of oil. Soon, Creotia and Espan raced with Anglia to colonize Isle Arcet and established their territories. Habindyenda then sailed further north and set up a claim. By the 1800s, so did Moroku and Menneria. After finding out about Moroku's Arcet claim, Zhoma joined in and established one as well, happening to be right next to Moroku's. They often had minor conflicts over oil on these claims. Menneria then grew to take more claims, getting into fights with Espan and Anglia. 
After these little conflicts, then came the First Arcet War in 1892.Hiuyju suggested all of the Arcet wars. He rather insisted. Espan and Menneria fought over the town of Cabos and the cape that lies upon it, coming to no conclusion, and Menneria attempted to push into Anglia's northeastern and southeastern claims. Moroku and Zhoma also battled over oil, with Moroku even bombing the Dernel Oil Plant in Zhoma's claim, causing the catastrophic Dernel Oil Spill contaminating the oceans around Isle Arcet and the general continent of Toneria. Anglia and Espan complained about this contamination, as it affected the coasts of their claims, preventing them from harvesting fishing goods. Eventually, the war went away from disputed claims, which had no true conclusion, and instead, the war was against Moroku. Anglese Prime Minister, Edward Hopkins, stated "More proof that greed makes poor decisions. The terrible oil spill on Isle Arcet rather recently was a result of a bombing, a bombing motivated by hate for the Zhomese, clearly to shorten their means of producing oil. This backfired, but not just for Moroku, for many more of us. We need this land too." Eventually, in 1896, the war ended and Moroku agreed not to damage any other oil plants, Zhomese or not. 
During the Kelais No-Peace Period, then came the Second Arcet War. Many historians are unsure whether to call this a legitimate conflict or not. In June 1948, Moroku completed a military base on their claim, and Zhoma completed a military base in October 1949. Simultaneously, Mastistan launched "Operation: Morokese Winter"Hiuyju. The bruh... in attempts to disarm Morokese locations on Isle Arcet. Two oil plants were interfered with and disabled, and the Masa attempted to infiltrate the Morokese military base, failing. A few of the battles in this time period were on these claims. Zhoma attempted to start the settlement of Arcet Kustol in 1949, but Morokese armies firebombed workers in the middle of the project, killing 26. In 1951, Zhoma successfully made the settlement of Gern, completing enough housing projects to boast 250 people just after founding. Morokese soldiers shot and killed 87 of these residents during the Battle of Gern on September 8th, 1951. No further actions were taken in this war, except for the Anglese surrounding Morokese workers and scientists in research and resource stations, killing 24. The war was considered concluded as the No-Peace Period came to an end itself. 
In 1956, the Arcet National & Territorial Democratic People's Liberation Army (ANTDPLA or ANTLA) was officially formed by residents of settlements of the island or elsewhere. They attempted to fight for an independent Isle Arcet and established a small piece of land, the same one that still appears today. By 1958, two oil plants and a military base were finished, and by 1966, they sought after more land, tearing through Anglese, Mennerian, Espanido, and Creotian claims. In response, the four countries made the Arcet Usage Claims Coalition (AUCC), a coalition made to stop the ANTLA from going any further and taking more land claims. New military bases were established in these countries, and others were fortified. In 1968, Moroku joined the AUCC as well due to worried of the ANTLA taking their land, despite constant disagreement with the countries involved elsewhere. On February 7th, 1969, enduring terrible temperatures and icy landscapes, the ANTLA pushed through more claims and attempted to establish more land, shooting several other claim owners. Fourteen Anglese, nine Creotians, and six Mennerians were killed during the expedition. This was the start of the Third Arcet War, a term for the series of conflicts involving the rebellion and other forces on Isle Arcet. [More overview of the war]. In 1978, Cynetia established a little claim within Creotian territory, after being given permission to do so. [more overview] Cynetia used two research stations and one oil plant before moving out in 1985, stating that they felt the claim was not only unneeded, but that they didn't want to be involved in such war. In 1985, the ANTLA was growing even further before gaining a large territory in 1986, as the AUCC surrendered for the time being.

==== Disputes====
===Arcet National & Territorial Democratic People's Liberation Army===
====Uses====
The ANTDPLA (often shortened to the ANTLA) has two listed resource stations and one military base. One of these resource stations is now an abandoned oil plant by the name of the Derryman Plant. It was built in 1958 and abandoned in 1987.
====Settlements====
====Disputes====
===Creotia===
====Uses====
Creotia owns thirteen undisputed research stations, 23 undisputed resource stations, and one military base. In addition, it also has the McGrath/Bernard Research Station, the Benson Oil Plant, and the town of Sitere under a dispute with Menneria.
====Settlements====
===== Benier=====
=====Lyer=====
=====Mavu=====
=====Saint Pierre=====
=====Sitere(disputed)=====
====Disputes====
===Espan===
====Uses====
Espan has eight undisputed research stations, thirteen undisputed resource stations, and one military base. Additionally, it has the Cabos Research Station, two oil plants, and the town of Cabos in a dispute with Menneria, as well as the Hader Research Station in a small dispute with Habindyenda.
====Settlements====
=====Cabos(disputed)=====
Cabos is the 2nd largest settlement on Isle Arcet. Built in 1876, it boasts about 3,452 residents within city limits. Mennerian law normally states that residents of Cabos should state their address as part of Menneria, but as the settlement is under a dispute with Espan, it only reads as "Cabos, Isle Arcet".
====Disputes====
===Habindyenda===
====Uses====
Habindyenda owns five research stations, six undisputed resource stations, and one military base all in one claim. Additionally, it has the Hader Oil Refinery in one small dispute with Espan.
====Settlements====
Habindyenda has no official settlements on Isle Arcet, but has been planning to make the "metropolis of Arcet" since 1968. The furthest actions done in this project were plotting the maps in 1968 (redone in 1975, 1992, and 2006), and laying down unfinished dirt paths in the summer of 2021. More work continued in late May 2022 to plan buildings and services, paving the roads and connecting them to other major routes.
====Disputes====
===Menneria===
====Uses====
Menneria has 20 undisputed research stations, 30 undisputed resource stations, and one military base. Additionally, it has several disputes in which more of these locations lie on. Under all of its three disputes, Menneria claims two other research stations, five other resource stations (including one decommissioned), and one other military base. The majority of these locations are under the area that the Arcet National & Territorial Democratic People's Liberation Army claimed, and Menneria is the only country wanting ownership of their designated land.
====Settlements====
===== Belmor=====
=====Cabos(disputed)=====
Cabos is the 2nd largest settlement on Isle Arcet. Built in 1876, it boasts about 3,452 residents within city limits. Mennerian law normally states that residents of Cabos should state their address as part of Menneria, but as the settlement is under a dispute with Espan, it only reads as "Cabos, Isle Arcet".

On his first day in 1982, president Leehor Names states "(Translated) Mastistan will make it to Arcet, Mastistan will get its own oil from Arcet, Mastistan will do its own research in Arcet, Mastistan will capitalize on Arcet!" These actions still weren't dealt with. Names stated "severe controversy and turmoil in both the mainland and Arcet".

File:Isle Arcet-map+labels.png|Many have often claimed the messy nature of these claims as the reason there have been several conflicts in this territory. The Kelais World Association claims to be working on a solution for this, and has been since the mid-1980s.
