Horse War

Ian lavacasting Bussy Land

The **Horse War** was a major conflict in the Northwestern United States Area that sees the Empire of Greater Gex and r/home against Bussy Land.

## Background

### Founding of Bussy Land

On February 19, 2022, Alyx left her home in Gex and fled north for a new start. She would create the nation of Gex But Better which would later be known as Bussy Land. Alyx had barred all Gexans from entering her nation, in particular Alice. On February 20, 2022, Alice visited Gex But Better and deployed a Barack Obomber above the home of Alyx and destroyed it, subsequently starting the Bitch War. After the bombing, Alice and Ian attacked Gex But Better, killing Alyx several times.

Later, Luke would announce that Jade's citizenship has been revoked and issued an arrest warrant for her. Jade would flee Gex and seek refuge in Gex But Better. During her time, she aided Alyx in government. Alyx would rename the nation to Bussy Land after this.

### Founding of Enumclaw

On February 21, 2022, Luke decided that having a colony to keep track of Bussy Land was useful. He and Ian decided to settle atop a mountain to the south of Bussy Land which would later be named Mt. Hands. The joint colony was named Enumclaw as a result of the large amount of horses present in the colony.

## The War

### Initial Attack

After the founding of Enumclaw, Alyx destroyed buildings and defenses atop Mt. Hands. As a result of this, both Gex and r/home declared war on Bussy Land. Ian and Luke fought with Alyx and Jade on Bussy Land. During these attacks, Ian would lava cast Bussy Land.

### Wonderful Offensives

On February 22, 2022, Jade would attack Enumclaw once again by killing Alice's mule Wonderful Barn. Ian and Luke retaliated by starting raids against Bussy Land once again, forming an unofficial alliance with Washington State, a group of pillager tribes in the area. After the formation of this alliance, Luke and Ian would raid villages in the nearby tundra, killing its population and taking work blocks back to Enumclaw.

On February 24, 2022, Ian and Psy would travel back to the tundra village and bomb it using a carpet bomber, as well as starting a raid.

On February 25, 2022, Jade would claim to capture villages to the west of Bussy Land and claimed it as the Colony of Gick. Ian, Luke and Alice retaliated by staging raids against these villages, destroying them and capturing the population. After the capture of Gick, Ian and Luke would raid two remaining villages in the tundra.

Alice, in defiance of orders from Luke and Ian, attacked a village in the southwest of Enumclaw, killing several villagers. However, during her raid, she was defeated by an iron golem.

### Violation of Bussy Land's Constitution

After Alyx wrote a constitution of Bussy Land, Ian and Luke proceeded to violate every clause, this included the construction of a statue of Dream, which would be torn down by Alyx the next day. Ian and Alice retaliated to this by building a statue called *Dream Sus!*, which would later be declared a protected site by the United Nations.

### Execution of Green Day

In response to Bussy Land's constitution two months before, Luke and Ian captured the band Green Day. A battle between Bussy Land and the League nations was planned for May 7, 2022, however, both Alyx and Jade refused to show up. In response, Ian captured Guy Head 3, and planned a public execution.

On May 11, Green Day was executed in Enumclaw via firing squad by Luke and Ian while Guy Head was stoned to death.

### Battle of Enumclaw

In response to the Execution of Green Day, Alyx and Jade invaded Enumclaw on May 21, 2022. Ian and Luke would defend Enumclaw using traps and wolves that they had prepared prior to the battle. After Alyx's loss at Fort George, Ian and Luke staged a siege against Bussy Land. League forces would kill Jade several times before she ultimately surrendered.

## Aftermath

The Horse Trials were held in part to hold all parties accountable to the atrocities committed during the Horse War.
