**The Great War** is an ongoing war that began on the 23rd of Augustus, 1853 (Day 7970). It involves 6 out of the 7 countries of the world, the 7th non-particpating being the Kingdom of Kanbina.

As a result, two opposing forces were formed; the Virtuous Army and the Steadfast Army.

## Prelude

### Annexation of Mirage

Soukeski Hayes, leader of the Union of Choralex, deliberately wandered to the Federation of Mirage to forcefully annex it. He was tired of Choralex being the underdog of nations and being often left out of council meetings. Was it finally time for his ultimate comeback as an imperialist leader? Well, this question would be answered merely a few days after.

### Solague Threatens Choralex

After Hayes had annexed Mirage and made it Choralexian land, the then Solagist president, Monty Quartz, was unhappy with his decision. Immediately informed about the news, he began setting sanctions on Choralex and pressuring it. He made these decisions out of fear; because Choralexian influence so close to his homeland seemed disturbing. Thus, Quartz threatened nuclear action. For the first time ever since the Solague Civil War back in 1851, warfare could potentially be imminent.

### International Quarrel

A few hours after the Republic of Solague had threatened nuclear- and military action to the Union of Choralex, the isolationist State of Minsnox began commenting on how imperialist Solague's Government has acted when they felt threatened by the smallest issues. Taking land from peaceful parts of the world, funding death camps and so much more as an example.

### Capture of Vinland

The next day, the intelligance agency of Solague was alerted of Minsnoxian spies and allies secretly entering Solagist borders and observing the nation very closely, as if they were planning something. Some rumors and speculation began to surface that Minsnox was planning an assassination of the president of Solague, Monty Quartz.

After Quartz was alerted of these potiential plans, he began to pressure Minsnox as a way to silence it. Many threats were made as a result of Minsnox's general hostility towards Solague. Though, only a few threats worked. Minsnox initially did nothing, but later sent a few troops down to Solague's brand new Vinland colony in order to overtake it for provocative reasons. Due to Vinland not being very crowded that day, the overtaking was more than easy for them. It would take several hours before the news got to the president.

## Alliances

After the Vinland Colony had been formally taken over by Minsnox, the Union of Choralex reached out to the Republic of Solague and offered a sacred alliance that would connect the two nations like never before. The king of Choralex and president of Solague met up in the latter leader's office to discuss plans and what was currently going on in the world. They recognised both Mirage and Minsnox to be a great threat.

The international and political scenes were heating up. The Republic of Solague had formed an alliance with the Union of Choralex one day prior. It was time for the other two countries - Mirage and Minsnox - to do the same.

## Declaration of War

The week of stress had finally reached its peak. It was time. Every person, animal or inanimate object that had ever existed on planet Earth could not have fathomed the outcome of such a chaotic week. On Friday afternoon, on the twenty-third of Augustus, 1853, the President of Solague officially had declared war against Minsnox and Mirage. As Monty S. Quartz hit his gavel against the wooden lectern inside of their Continental Congress meeting, the whole world would suddenly change its fate and spiral down a path of uncertainty. The Republic of Solague and Union of Choralex would become the *Virtuous Army*, whilst the Federation of Mirage and State of Minsnox would ultimately become known as the *Steadfast Army.* This was the beginning of The Great War.
