The Third RoP Civil War was a multi-sided complex millitary conflict that spanned nearly 3 weeks of consistent fighting and political instability across the lands of the Republic of Polynesia becoming a defining symbol of the period of corruption, rigging and instability of November 2021-January 2022 on Polynesia. The war was enitially started by the Democratic Republic of Polynesia who declared war on the Republic of Polynesia to remove Prime Minister Tom who had rigged the previous election to win a landslide victory. After this the war would gain multiple sides and would escalate to a full international conflict between various radical political groups and localist forces culminating in the second bloodiest war in the history of the server and the defining conflict of 2021.

## History

### Beginning

The fires of the Third Civil War had been burning long previous to the actual outburst of fighting in the fragile republic. The real conflict had began when Fishland declared independence starting a religous split between Christians and minority groups despite Fishland failing it inspired other local rulers to demand further independence which saw the Jazirad-Alijar War of independence and then Jeffrey threataning the independence of New Lexon multiple times. There was also the growing Ukyalti movement in the Republic that wanted further rights and recognition for their people. On top of this split in the republic based off of regionalism there also was the political drama.

Prime Minister Toms first term as Prime Minister had seen his shock victory from an outsider who was predicted to only clinch a single seat with his new big tent social democratic Nationalist Party of Polynesia and then his controversial religious laws at the start of the term that were denied by parliament followed by his misshandling of the Fishland War of Independence, An attempted coup against him and then his struggles in Jazirad-Alijar in which his on the ground commanding was blamed for the reason the conflict was dragged on for long placed him a position in which he seemed poised to lose.

Despite this negative situation Tom was in for his political agree his coalition partners, the previously governing Polynesian Liberals and Democrats forced Tom into agreeing with an early snap election, Tom himself voted no on the motion until a suprise poll put him way ahead. the law passed and Tom even sped up the process making the election occur on that very day. The election was a landslide victory for the party however Tom had rigged the election and the shock poll in his favour. This information would circle around the Republic and would lead to a dramatic rise in tension.

Following the rise in the tension in the Republic due to the allegations, that Tom fiercly denied on a constant basis a terror attack on the capital of the Republic of Polynesias capital at the time of Port Royal saw an arrested flexmaster who was the main culprit confess to doing the attack on the orders of another group. The recently founded Ukyalti terror organisation the Ukyalti Erbet Oruşnur denied responsibility to the attack despite them saying they would perform an attack in public chat, Directly after this, Penguin declared the new Democratic Republic of Polynesia an independent state blaming Tom for the attack on Port Royal due to his rigged elections. Starting the Third Rop Civil War. The Ukyalti Erbet Oruşnur would also follow this up with their own decleration of war siding with the Democratic Republic of Polynesia with a shared aim of defeating Tom, However the war would develop into a conflict much larger than the otherthrow of Prime Minister Tom.

### End

The Third RoP Civil War officialy ended on January 8th 2022 with the surrender of Castlebrugh after over 2 weeks of fighting. The surrender came as Prime Minister of the RoP ColonelKai refused to accept Castlebrughs final demands to be awarded the same treatment who had united with the RoP following the signing of the Polynesia-Wicklow Resolution of 117 2 days prior on January 6th 2022, Exactly 2 years after the start of the Second RoP Civil War. That agreement was meant to have Castlebrugh in as well however the Castlebrugh government did not attend and would ignore attempts to make peace until they were forced into it by demands.

The end of the war had been ongoing since the end of the Democratic Republic of Polynesia. the state that enitially declared war on the Republic to start the war after they signed the Treaty of Fishburg with them on December 27th 2021, A week after they started the war. After that the conflict was dragged on by mulitple independent states controlling small pockets of land.

### Who Won?

The war was a complete and total victory for the UKERO-Green controlled Republic of Polynesia. Their victory was absoloute and conclusive millitarily, However whilst being millitarily defeated in the war the Democratic Republic of Polynesia achieved their goals of deposing Tom however this was more from Tom being forced to resign after the army lost confidence in his leadership once the images that proved he rigged the election were leaked, The Principality of Wicklow also came out of the war better off despite never fighting in a single battle during the war

## Factions Involved

### Republic of Polynesia

The Republic of Polynesia was a fractured divided nation at the start of the war following the landslide victory by Prime Minister Tom after he rigged the election. It was these rigged elections that lead to the Democratic Republic of Polynesia being founded in the first place however the nation also had multiple seperatist issues that had been quelled only recently prior to the outbreak of the war.

### Democratic Republic of Polynesia

The Democratic Republic was a rebel state, formed to rebel against the Republic of Polynesia. Their goal was to re-establish democratic elections in Polynesia. Their first leader was Penguin, and after the election Ukyalti Erbet Oruşnur won, however they refused to form a government, which would eventually lead to Penguin's coup and reunion with the Republic of Polynesia.

### Ukyalti Erbet Oruşnur

The Ukyalti Erbet Orusnur (UKERO) was one of the main forces in the war backing up the Democratic Republic of Polynesia at the start before transitioning into the RoP Army and helping defeat states like the RKP and Kingdom of Castlebrugh. It would also be the only group from the war to continue its existence after its conclusion.

### Green Army

The Green Army of Polynesia was a millitary organisation that were able to take control of a mulititude of towns and cities at their millitary peak, Occupying the RoP Capital of Port Royal and defending it longer than any other side in the war. They were founded as a split from the RoP Army following Phantoms betryal of Tom when Phantom published messages between he and Tom were Tom had told Phantom that he wanted Phantom to hand the position of Prime Minister back to Tom whenever he wanted it. Phantom would also leak messages with other government ministers creating a general dislike to him on both sides of the war.

The Army would first partake in an invasions of Port Royal in which they were succesful in, the Ukyalti Erbet Oruşnur would contest this ownership in the Fifth Battle of Port Royal which ended in a Green Army victory and then a newly formed alliance between the Green Army and the Ukyalti Erbet Oruşnur with the latter ending their ties with the DRoP as it entered a period of crisis. The Army would gain credebility from this which was much needed for the organisation to progress in the war, the areas of Wicklow, Lexon, Kraken Bay and Castlebrugh would all voluntarily come under the occupation of the army following this. However Wicklow and Castlebrugh would later leave and declare independence.

Following this period of success the group would begin to slow as the war would also slow down, the Army would join the Republic following the victory of the Republics Consitution Party in the federal election on the 28th of December 2021 siding with the new army against the independent states helping with the defeat of the Reichskommissariat Polynesian and then helping them against Castlebrugh. Twoards the end of the war they would disband after the signing of the Polynesia-Wicklow Resolution of 117 on January 6th 2021 fully intergrating themselves into the army of the Republic.

### Reichskommissariat Polynesian

The Reichskommissariat Polynesian (RKP) was a fascist state that formed during the war inspired by the success of the Principality of Wicklow, They were denounced by every side in the conflict and their leader Enrique was generally ignored by most other participants in the war except for the United Blocks peace organsiation that wished to protect the nation as they had been the only other group in the war to back the United Blocks movement other than the groups homeland of Castlebrugh.

The state would be able to build minor infastructure in a small area situated across from the town of Circhester, The state not having any infastructure was a major part of why other nations disliked them as they had a historical claim to the land whilst the RKP did not. The Green Army would carry out minor attacks on the group and would also construct a border wall under the command of Spaghettio who had built Circhester and didnt want what he described as "nazis" in his town. the Green Army and other anti fascists would partake in other activities such as burnings of trees and setting cows free from small pens in the state.

Eventually after the reorganisation of the Republic and the collapse of the DRoP the now Ukyalti Erbet Oruşnur and Green Army controlled Republic of Polynesia would invade the RKP and defeat them in open combat with the states leadership escaping.

### Kingdom of Castleburgh

The Kingdom of Castlebrugh were the force responsible for the war being dragged out in its later stage until their final surrender after their capital city had been occupied for multiple days and their only other city, Krakens Bay had been in open revolt against the nation since its birth. Castlebrugh was one of the weakest states millitarily during the war despite this though they played a prominent role in the later stages of the conflict forming the United Blocks alliance and then finally ending the war.

### Principality of Wicklow

The Principality of Wicklow declared its independence from the Democratic Republic of Polynesia because of the war going on. The citizens of the city of Wicklow no longer wanted involvement in the civil war, and Belg declared independence and himself prince of Wicklow, an absolute monarch. The goal of Wicklow was to be neutral in the conflict, which made them the first neutral nation since the start of the civil war. During their time as an independent nation, they had no conflict/war with other groups or nations.

## Treaties and Surrenders

### Treaty of Fishburg between Republic of Polynesia and Democratic Republic of Polynesia (27/12/21)

The Republic of Polynesia and Democratic Republic of Polynesia signed a peace agreement in Fishburg on the 27th of December 2021 exactly a week after the original start of the war when Penguin had declared war on the Republic. Since then the Democratic Republic had lost all its territory due to political infighting in the democratic republic which forced Penguin to lead a millitary coup over his own nation to take back control and establish peace with the RoP, Accepting their defeat at the hands of the RoP.

**Treaty of Fisburg (27/12/2021)**

* DRoP Gives up all territories to the RoP
* RoP Changes its flag to the DRoP Flag
* DRoP officialy surrenders
* DRoP officialy disbands

### Polynesia-Wicklow Resolution of 117 between Republic of Polynesia and the Principality of Wicklow (6/1/22)

The Polynesia-Wicklow Resolution of 117 was the first ever document to use the official Polynesian calender to name itself, There being the 117 in its name as the year in the Polynesian calender when it was signed. The agreement was the last treaty in the war and saw the end of the Principality of Wicklow. The agreement was meant to have imput from Castlebrugh however at the last minute they did not show up. The treaty was critisiced by some in the Republic of Polynesia who belived that the government used it to try and enforce laws to give more local power which was seen by some as a return to the era of Micronesias state system. The resolution was repealed by the RoP Parliament on January 28th 2022 and was replaced by the Polynesia-Wicklow Resolution of 120.

**Polynesia-Wicklow Resolution of 117 (6/1/22)**

* The Principality of Wicklow is to rejoin the Polynesian Republic and accept the parliament of the Polynesian Republic
* The Principality of Wicklow is given special status within the Polynesian Republic that entitiles the local government to the following rights:
	+ Retain its Prince as the figurehead of the city
	+ Be exempt from any millitary action with the borders of Wicklow by the MNSD (Ministry of National Security and Defence) forces
	+ Create their own millitary division - MNSD 3rd "Wicklow" Division that is exempt from the limitation declared in 2.2
* The Republic of Polynesia is to creare a new Parliamentary Law as per their parliamentary process that will give cities of the Republic of Polynesia, Optionally excluding the capital, the following rights:
	+ The Right to have their own consitution and local laws that do not contradict the laws of the Polynesian Republic
	+ The Right to have a local government, Headed by a major and/or city council with powers, procedures and mains of selection as described by their consitutions
	+ The right to manage and distribute its own land, Including Urban Planning and Construction Guidelines.
	+ The right to form their own police departments, enforcing the law of both local governments and the Republic of Polynesia.

### Surrender of Castlebrugh

Castlebrugh did not sign any formal decleration they stated their defeat in an announcement and dissolved the state which ended the Third RoP Civil War. This was after failed negotiation attempts with Prime Minister Kai who refused to give Castlebrugh similar priveleges to what Wicklow had receieved in the Polynesia-Wicklow Resolution of 117 with the main conflict being around how King Tom wanted to keep his title of King after the dissolution of the state.

## Alliances

### UKERO-DRoP Alliance

The UKERO-DRoP Alliance was an alliance between the Democratic Republic of Polynesia and the military faction the Ukyalti Erbet Oruşnur (UKERO). The alliance was started on the second day of the conflict and was mutually beneficial for both states helping each other defeat the Republic at the first battle of Port Royal and then at the Invasion of Fishland and the Battle of Plains Reach. However there relationship would sour as they would work directly with each other less and less as the Democratic Republic saw the RoP as totally defeated in the conflict and began to focus on organising their own internal elections which were actively participated in by UKEROs Vakus party who won the election in a narrow victory. However Kai the UKERO and Vakus leader refused to form a government in the DRoP, the internal crisis caused by this lead to the state bleeding all its territory until a coup ended the Democratic Republic.

### UKERO-Green Alliance

The UKERO-Green Alliance came after the internal struggles of the Democratic Republic had taken hold. UKERO formally ended their partnership with them and began working with the Greens, This alliance came about after the Greens defeated UKEROs forces in a battle at Port Royal as UKERO wished to keep Port Royal under the control of them and the remains of the Democratic Republic however the Green Army, a group of "*Neo-Tomists"* who opposed the new Phantom government were worried UKERO were too supportive of the new Phantom government. Despite this the pair agreed to form an alliance as a means to defeat the new independence movements that had sprung up after the surrender of the Democratic Republic

### United Blocks

United Blocks was a millitary and economic alliance with the idea of protecting the newer independent states from invasion by the RoP. The UB was unable to gain the support of Wicklow or the RoP however Prince Belg of Wicklow and Prime Minister Phantombread of the RoP both held visitor status in the organisation. The only two states involved was the Kingdom of Castlebrugh the alliances home nation and the Reichskommisariat Polynesian. The presence of this state would lead to the Green Army distancing themselves from the alliance quickly and is also one of the reasons why Wicklow and the RoP did not further participate with it. When the RoP now under Prime Minister Kai invaded the RKP, the RKP sent out a request for millitary assistance which was ignored by Castlebrugh leading to the RKPs disastorous collapse and annexation. The Alliance would struggle on after this and would disband with the Kingdom of Castlebrugh when the war ended.
