## History

### Background

Around four months prior to the civil war, Lardyland-supported raiders commenced a raid on Warzone Airspace, resulting in Domais seizing the delegacy once Lyrasan had ceased-to-exist.
An informal agreement was made between Domais and the federation president allowing Lardyland forces to remain in AirState as they were helping the survival of the warzone, though the validity of this agreement was later disputed.

At this time, it was noted by later essays that several cracks were preexisting within the federation, with one criticising the complicated system of government that proved easy to abuse, and further criticised the federation with the statement "No system of government is perfect, but this one was considerably further from the mark". This was demonstrated at the time by a controversial election where the Federation president was appointed by a single senator, and several legal inconsistencies within the codex.

### Prelude

Four months following the Lardyland agreement, a highly controversial election finally ignited the powder keg within the Federation.

-The Confederacy's point of view :

Numerous Federation citizens were surprised to find that Alnorud had been "reelected" in an incredibly short span, with senators, ministers, end even an entire state being completely unaware of the election. Merely a day following, Alnorud was reappointed as president merely a day after decided to stand for election, incurring anger and claims of being "horribly corrupt".

-The Federation's point of view :

On the other side, this election was considered to have been the most properly organized of all. Last Velneria, the Secretary of State at the time that was in charge of this election, refused to allow it to last longer than the allotted time because he considered that it greatly hampered activity. It is also the lack of responsiveness on the part of the voters that is blamed by the Federation and not the hypothesis of a corrupted government. Many of the future rebels were inactive at the time of this election, leading to protests and general miscommunication.

Both points of view recognize however, that the federal system was weak, unstable and subject to many problems that slowed its activity and allowed some to abuse it.

This followed by the Federation deciding to revoke the Lardyland agreement to depose the government of Warzone Airspace, who by now were fully fledged Federation citizens and government officials.
After Domais refused to leave AirState, their citizenship was stripped, and and the AirState delegate was deposed later that day by the Warzone Federation.

### The War

On the 21st of September 2019, a few hours before the start of military conflict, Domais removed Border Control from Crisisies and Lyrasan in Warzone Airspace, who were considered as the regional leaders by the Warzone Federation. President Alnorud then contacted privately Domais on Discord and offered a last chance to step down peacefully and be replaced by Sky Lord Crisisies, Domais' refusal then led the Federation to officially consider Domais as a rebel. At the following update, the Federal Army alongside the Legio Pacifica took over the Delegacy of Warzone Airspace and ejected Domais, while other AirStaters, including those who were Meat citizens, were not ejected from the region. Domais was however able to take back the Delegacy back at next update as the endorsements from unejected AirStaters were still applied to their nation. At the time, numerous individuals were becoming angry, either because of the rebellion or the accusations against Alnorud, and the Federation President was accusing Domais of open rebellion and supported the restoration of the Sky Realm in Warzone Airspace.

Following this incident, the governments of Warzone Africa and Warzone Airspace seceded from the federation in order to unite into the Warzone Confederacy, with the provisional cabinet quickly writing a new constitution for this pact.

The Warzone Confederacy issued a list of demands to the Federation, including calling for the removal of the president, new elections, restoration of stripped citizenships, the restoration of Warzone Africa's autonomy.
