Afierosia dispute

The Afierosia dispute was a minor dispute over the island of Afierosia between the Kingdom of Czervoslavia and Afierosian settlers. After support from the United Nations of Plagos, a minor coalition was formed to support a planned invasion of Afierosia, called Operation Blackwater. The dispute was resolved when the Afierosians left due to the military preparations.
== Background ==
The Kingdom of Czervoslavia had existed for some time now, however was still only a one man nation. It was however part of the United Commonwealth, which had a substantial population. Afierosia was populated with settlers, said to be from Nova Regna. The settlers claimed to not have known that they settled within Czervoslavia, because nearby islands had structures and that island in particular did not.

=== Intitial talks ===
Upon the discovery of the settlers, it seemed that a peaceful resolution could take place. Annexation into Czervoslavia or sale of the island for a price of $50,000 was discussed, however the settlers were not able to purchase and opposed annexation.
=== Ultimatum ===
As the talks slowly broke down, Ignati Korol sent an ultimatum to the settlers. The ultimatum demanded that the Afierosians join Czervoslavia, pay a fee of $50,000 for the island, leave, or face military invasion. Whilst the Afierosians attempted to pay, they were denied the rights to do so and left instead.

=== Impact on the UNP ===
The Afierosian dispute could be seen as one of the few unifying events in Plagos. Most of the UNP supported Czervoslavia in the matter, and the coalition formed, if out into effect, could have shown the might of the continent to Rathnir. The Afierosian dispute was one of few events that went well for Plagos, however the lack of military action in the final act meant that it was not as important of a show of force.
=== Naming of the island ===
Prior to the settlers, the island had no name. The name Afierosia was brought into Czervoslav vocabulary from the settlers. The Iremithian city of New Afierosia inherits its name and flag.
