The Villager Civil war was a civil war fought between the Villager Empire (supported by the Pig Region until late 1962) and the Villager Republic of the Comintern for control over the country. The war was caused after the Imperial Regime became very unpopular after a series of damaging reforms and the Independence of the Pig Region in 1957. After gaining popularity, the Villager Communist Party set out to remove the government by force and impose a 'Communist' regime instead.

#### **Outbreak and initial communist success**

On January 3rd, 1961, armed communists took key buildings and locations across the west of the Empire. By January 24th, large swaths of the west had been captured including Villager City. Voman Charles then declared the creation of the 'Villager Republic of the Comintern.' The Pig Region, afraid that the communists may invade them next if the Empire fell, joined the war on the side of the Empire on February 4th. After this occurred, the imperial forces began to think of a way to strike back at the communists and win the war.

#### **Imperial Resurgence**

On March 12th, an imperial attack in the north successfully repelled communists from the area. Another attack in the south pushed communist forces back to Villager City - putting it under siege. A joint Pig-Imperial defence near Ironville also prevented communists from moving any further. Voman temporarily went into hiding and made Henry Baclin minister of defence.

#### **Communist Resurgence**

Due to recent Imperial successes, Henry Baclin began to devise a plan to remove a large junk of Empire forces located near the Pig-Villager border which were cut-off from most other imperial forces. It involved communist forces taking the border and surrounding imperial forces before moving for the kill. The plan was initiated on the 3rd of September and ended on October 5th with the capture of over 200,000 Imperial soldiers. With newly freed up forces, the communists were able to push the Empire forces away from Villager City. They also managed to launch an attack on the capital Renave - successfully capturing it.

#### **Imperial Retreat**

After failing to retake Renave in a miscoordinated attack, Empire forces were slowly pushed further and further east, starting on the 20th of October. During this time, the Pig Region negotiated a treaty with the communists on the 3rd of May and fully pulled out on the 15th of June. In the Lao Region, a communist revolt broke out and, in the Tewa Region, rebels declared the Tewa Republic and began fighting both communist militias and the Villager Empire. By December, a large amount of the Imperial army had been destroyed. On the 1st of February, William I fled to the Pig Region with a provisional government being set up in his place and Joseph Carrington being made prime minister.

#### **Communist Victory**

On the 19th of July, communist forces pushed Empire forces back to the Chisuan Peninsula and made landings near the south of the peninsula. They then managed to take control of the Tewa Republic and moved in to finally win the civil war. On the 15th of November, the provisional government surrendered - meaning the communists won the war.
