The World War

The World War was a global conflict that started on the 22nd November 2020 and ended on the 2nd December 2020. The war started mainly because the Pact of Iron embargoed the Arabian Union, which led to islamist terrorists getting very angry with the situation in their country, so they started performing terrorist attacks abroad, the most notable ones taking place in Pacifica, with the Javeky Train Station bombings and the arson commited on the Javeky Government Building. This hostility was traced back to the Arabian Union, who denied the government had anything to do with the attacks despite Pacifica finding terrorist attack and jihadist uprising plans in the Arabian Union's government building. In an attempt to stop being blamed for everyting and to actually be listened to, the Arabian Union turned to the Kingdom of Sumatra for support, who promptly invited them into the pH7 Alliance. After the alliance was confirmed, Israel and Pacifica discussed what to do from here, and in the end they sent a list of demands to the Arabian Union, telling them to leave the pH7 Alliance and join the Pact of Iron, and to kill any islamist terrorists that they find. The Arabian Union refused these demands, so the Pact of Iron declared war on the pH7 Alliance on the 22nd November 2020 at 20:00. As there were 2 great powers on each side, it was considered a Great War and was nicknamed *The World War.*

The 22nd November was mainly spent militarising and coming up with battle plans, and as such no actual conflict happened that day.

### **Invasion of the Arabian Union**

On the 23rd November 2020, the Israeli Government launced Operation Focus and began air bombings over the Arabian Union's capital city, Basrah. The air strikes targeted key infrastructure in the city, including Basrah Airport and the parliament building. After a clear victory for Israel in Basrah, the Arabian Union surrendered and agreed to a peace deal where total isolation would be enforced in Arabia along with war reparations. Due to civilian workers inside the government building and along the roads which were bombed, 12 casualties were counted, all of which were Arabian citizens.

### **Arabian Civil War**

On the 24th November 2020, some local islamist and nationalist militias held protests across the country as they felt that the invasion lead by the Israeli government was unfair and a war crime and the Arabian Union was weak with the current government in power, as after the peace deal, the Arabian Union was forrced into isolation and made to pay back a large sum of money for war reparations. This made many rebel groups and terrorist groups stage uprisings in the country, eventually splitting the nation three ways. The civil war consisted of the **Arabian Union**, the **Kingdom of Arabia** and the **Islamic Caliphate**.

At the start of the civil war, the Kingdom of Arabia was just an idea to bring back the monarchy the country had benefitted from ages ago, but after a while it saw an opportunity and declared independence on the *27/11/2020*. Not liking the situation, neighbouring Israel intervened. They launched invasions of the Kingdom and the Caliphate, and eventually capitulated them, returning the occupied land to the Arabian Union on the *28/11/2020*.

However, the Islamic Caliphate really hated the Israeli intervention, so they staged an uprising in Basrah a few hours after the civil war ended and overthrew the Arabian government. Once they had full control, the islamists renamed the country and declared the Islamic Caliphate and began installing a totalitarian sunni islamist regime, where islamic law would play a vital role in the countries running. Soon after taking power, the islamists started rebuilding the war torn nation at a hefty price, which forced the state into a large debt.

### **Invasion of North Australia (Largest Battle of the war)**

On the 27th November 2020 a Pacifican official delcared a fuel emergency and crash landed just south of Darwin, North Australia. The official was detained which caused riots in Pacifica, demanding that they be released. Pacifica had to bribe the NAF to let the official go, and after a large sum of money was given to the NAF, the official was escorted to the border where he was let across into Pacifica without any documentation. Seeing this incident as a show of power, Pacifica promptly closed the border between them and the NAF and cancelled all direct flights between the two countries. The NAF responded by doing the same, and they also began militarising and drawing up battle plans for an invasion of Pacifica.

From this point until the next date announcement, all events occured on the **28th November 2020**. The day began with Israel and Pacifica flying forces, supplies and weaponsinto Port Wilson Air Base in Pacifican-controlled Australia and began preparations for an invasion of the North Australian Federation. The NAF were preparing for their own invasion, and had brought backup from the Republic of Luzon and the Kingdom of Sumatra. However, they ren't ready yet, so Pacifica demanded it's navy be positioned off the coast of Darwin and the Israeli Government planned for a land invasion while Pacifica brought bombers from their various air bases into Port Wilson to prepare for bombing runs. Around 2pm the same day, the invasion began.

Pacifican bombers started attacking Darwin Airport and other key points in an attempt to slow down the NAF's military from equipping and launching a counter-attack. Surveilance planes were sent all over the NAF, and they discovered a military complex just inside the desert south of Darwin where the NAF and Sumatra were geting ready to bomb the Israeli forces and Port Wilson. Pacifican bombers promptly began bombing the base, but due to miscommunications, the NAF had declard that Pacifica had commited war crimes by bombing when not in an aircraft. This claim was proven to be false, but the Kingdom of Sumatra began bombing the Pacifican Home Island anyways in an attempt to fight back. During all of ths, Israeli Forces had captured Darwim Airport and the surrounding cities and they began making their way to the parliament building. Once that had been captured, the NAF were sure to surrender.

Israeli forces attacked and captured the parliament building and had declared a victory in Darwin. Usually this would result in a capitulation and the country surrendering, but no. The NAF had claimed they had moved all operation to Kupang on the island of Timor, despite not having any form of governmental building or any infrastructure to maintain a fully functional army besides a small civilian airport. Pacifica and the NAF entered heated debate over the fact that the NAF refused to admit defeat despite having to retreat to a small island with barely any infrastructure, but the NAF weren't backing down. This left the Israeli and Pacifican armies to perform a show of power, by destroying the electric grid, the Darwin monorail, the main roads around the city and all factories.

### Attempted Sumatran Invasion of Pacifica #1

While this was occuring, Sumatra was planning a naval invasion of the Paifican Home Island, and began attacking Pacifica's navy and launching TNT from cannons into the centre of Javeky, targeting the civilian airport mainly. Pacifica had to redirect bombings and fly back home from Australia to repel the attacks. Pacifican bombers began targeting the Sumatran navy, and after a fair bit of combat and losses from Pacifica, they were able to strike and critically damage the main ship in the Sumatran navy. After a while, the Pacifican navy had been repaired and began attacking Sumatran ships, which promptly lead to many of them being sunk and a succesful repel of the invasion.

### Attempted Peace Negotiations #1

At this point, it became clear that the Pact of Iron was winning, and as such, they offered to begin peace negotiations with North Australia. For some reason, the NAF were certain that the Pact of Iron would just take all their land, so they refused the peace talks, somehow believing that with no capital city and no government, they could launch a reinvasion and try and take back Darwin. The peace negotiations had fallen through with the other nations, so the war continued.

### Australian Re-invasion of Darwin

On the 29th November 2020, the North Australian Federation attempted a reinvasion of the mainland, aiming for taking back the capital city, Darwin. At the time, it was only Pacifica and the NAF online, and while Pacifica was preparing for another day of fighting and attempting peace negotiations after a draining week of war, the NAF began launching a surprise invasion. Pacifica promtly alerted Israel, who got online, and the NAF promptly alerted it's allies of the imminent reinvasion, so they all came online. The NAF was met with little resistance and set up for a landing at Darwin Airport. Pacifica began bombing runs to try and take out the invading army, but these proved hopeless. The landing was successful, and the NAF were able to re-take control over a runway and the terminal building at Darwin Airport. Shortly after, the Israeli army left Pacifican-controlled Australia to meet the NAF army at the airport, at which point the 2nd battle of Darwin Airport commenced, with the NAF and Israeli armies engaging in ground battle and the Sumatran and Pacifican air forces engaging in air battles. After a while of fighting, the NAF couldn't make a breakthrough, so agreed to arrange peace talks with the Pact of Iron.

### Attempted Peace Negotiations #2

The peace talks included war reparations from the NAF to Israel in the form of helping rebuild and money. Pacifica took the islands of Trangen and Yamdena, and with the NAF keeping the rest of the country, this resulted in the annexation of the country of Timor-Leste. The war between the Pact of Iron and the NAF had ended.

On the 30th November 2020, the Israeli Empire formally announced that they had white peaced with the Kingdom of Sumatra, the Tao Empire and the Republic of Luzon. Pacifica then recieved a letter from Sumatra, ourtlining a very one-sided peace deal that the monarch of Sumatra had decided on, and considering the effort that the Pact of Iron had gone through to get to this point, and with all negotiations falling through, they refused to engage in peace talks and the war between Pacifica and Sumatra, Luzon and the Tao Empire continued.

After a few days of the Islamic Caliphate rebuilding, they had racked up a very large debt, which they had been adding to constantly. This left the Israeli Empire intruiged, and after talking to the Islamic Caliphate, realised that they had to pay their debts off very soon, or they face going bankrupt. Being close neighbours, the Israeli Empires offered to buy out all of the Caliphate's debts so long as they agreed to become a dominion. After more discussion, the Islamic Caliphate agreed to the deal, officially becoming a dominion of the Israeli Empire on the 1st December 2020.

### Attempted Sumatran Invasion of Pacifica #2

The Kingdom of Sumatra were determined for a win and an end to this war, so on the 2nd December 2020, while Pacifica was busy focusing on diplomatic issues and formally disbanding the Pact of Iron, the Sumatran navy sailed over to Pacifica and began a bombing run of Javeky. This was followed up with bombing runs from the air and the complete devastation of Javeky city centre. The city had been carpet bombed to oblivion, with heavy targets on the government building, leaving not a single trace that there was ever a building on that plot of land. Javeky Airport was also severely targeted and the surrounding area had become a wasteland of rubble and stone. After hearing of the news Javeky had been bombed, the Pacifican leader returned to his capital city to find the entire place in ruins and catastrophic damage had been caused.

### Ceasefire Agreement and Dismantling of Sumatra

After seeing the devastation caused to Javeky, the Pacifican leader immediately ordered a ceasefire to all current battles and the world fell silent, all world leaders headed to see the utter devastation of Javeky. Pacifica then appealed to the UN for carpet bombing war crimes caused by Sumatra and the subsequent killing of 24 innocent Pacifican civilians, and in the following discussions, after Sumatra realised the devastation that had been caused and the catastrophic effect this had to Pacifica's motivation and willingness to deal with the situation, the monarch of the Kingdom of Sumatra formally stepped down as leader and ordered the shut down and subsequent disbanding of the entire nation. The Kingdom of Sumatra declared that: "**ALL LAND** now belongs to the **Greater Israeli Empire.** **ALL MONEY** goes to **Pacifica** for damages. M**y fucking plane** goes to the **bottom of the fucking ocean** and my **weed** goes to **NOONE BECAUSE ITS NOT UR BUSINESS TO KNOW I HAVE WEED**."

After reading this, Pacifica began criticising this statement, stating that giving away all of Sumatra's land to a single nation will start arguments over unfair land splitting, especially since the Israeli Empire wasn't even Sumatra's ally, and usually a nations land would be given to an ally if it were to be dismantled. As such, Pacifica embargoed the Israeli Empire and the Islamic Caliphate. An argument proceeded to evolve out of all this, which resulted in Israel and Pacifica debating who did the most in the war and what is actually deserved, followed by the Israeli Empire claiming that Sumatra and Luzon were now his allies after the peace deal which left Pacifica feeling betrayed. At the end of the argument, Pacifica logged off the server and talks between all sides ended with no resolution.

### The Aftermath

From that night on, the server became very quiet. Pacifica eventually rebuilt Javeky with the help of Sumatra's funds, and nothing else happened after that. The war technically never ended, as peace talks fell through but the ceasefire agreement remained in place, which left Pacifica still technically at war with the Republic of Luzon and the Tao Empire until the end of Season 5 on the 28th March 2021, when trying to start the server caused it to accidentally update to Minecraft 1.16 Vanilla, causing the world file to corrupt.

Not much happened from the 3rd December 2020 until the 28th March 2021. Everyone had lost motivation to play and the state of world politics had become overwhelming to the point where nobody wanted to resolve the issues. Season 6 officially started on the 5th April 2021 (although nation building had commenced in some nations 2 days earlier), after everyone had a long break from geopolititcs and everyone came back to the server with motivation for the new world. As a result of the actions on Season 5, UN Laws have become harsher to prevent something so catastrophic happening ever again. The World War officially killed Season 5, and hopefully a situation like this never happens again.
