Loxenian Civil War

The **Loxenian Civil War**, also known as the **Loxenian Revolution** and the **Uprising**, and in Loxenian as the **ментрега**, was a prolonged civil war in the European nation of Loxenia between Rebellion Forces and the Loxenian Government, with the Loxenian Armed Forces forming a splinter fraction in 2023 under Generalissimo Jax Esposita. Taking place between 2011 and 2023, the 12 year long war played a role in several of the major conflicts of the 21st century, being a partial catalyst for the 2019 Coup d'état against Libirachi President Nathan Jackson, which in part led to the Has Wars and then in turn to the Libirachi Civil War.

Following a decade of stagnation and increasing inequality, a band of freedom fighters sponsored by the Libirachi Empire began an insurgency campaign in mid 2011, working swiftly to destabilise the nation and seize power along the Libirachi boarder as the Libirachi Imperial Army rolled over the boarder to invade. With the crisis beginning to spiral out of control, President Dune Salov ordered the LAF to conduct an immediate counter offensive to re-take the land stolen by the insurgent and Libirachi coalition. Fighting the Libirachi Empire back to the existing boarder, the LAF came under aerial bombardment from Libirachi Imperial Forces, allowing the insurgent forces to surround the Loxenian forces hiding from the bombardment in a secure bunker and executing them, taking control of the bunker in the process. As the Black Eagles began to spread across the nation, they found themselves a new financial benefactor in the multinational EuroCorp corporation, led by militant capitalist Ian Quinby, who provided discounted weaponry and much needed supply chains to the group. Setting up his headquarters in the liberated bunker on July 27, Black Eagle commander Lor San-Teccia, nicknamed the "Sheikh" by his forces, began growing his operation into the major Loxenian cities in August of 2011, using teams of Libirachi commandos to storm warehouses and farms for equipment and food stocks.

Beginning a campaign of insurrection with Libirachi backing, the Black Eagles would go on to foster rebellious incidents across the nation and were responsible for numerous bombings and public executions, going on to take a stronghold within the country as a result of backing from the EuroCorp corporation, with the militant capitalist Ian Quinby taking over leadership of the organisation following the death of the Sheikh in January 2014, effectively making it the terrorist wing of the company. With both Libirachi and EuroCorp backing, the Black Eagles began to wreak havoc across the beleaguered nation and take control of numerous provinces across the nation, although it's leadership would change numerous times as a result of attacks from Libirachi, Loxenian and the Confederacy of Independent Nations armies, albeit independently of each other.

## Loxenian Civil War

Following decades of unrest and distality, a coalition of military, corporate and vigilante forces united together to form a pact for the invasion of Loxenia in the summer of 2010, just as the national elections were taking place. Winning the 2010 election in a landslide, Dune Salov and the National Coalition swept to power on the back of the carnage created by the Meciar and Capentov governments, winning over huge swathes of the population with the promise to bring order and stability back to the nation. As a group of terrorists known as the Black Eagles began to emerge in mid 2010 as a serious threat to the security of the nation, President Salov began to ramp up military funding, ordering a rapid re-militarization of the country, before an attack on a Loxenia-Libirachi boarder outpost started the Loxenian Civil War in 2011, with the Libirachi Empire rolling its army across the boarder to help the Black Eagles, whilst President Salov struggled to secure any international help from any of the N20 members.

## Uprising (2011 - 2018)

### Year One

Aggravated with the lack of central control and strong leadership, a faction of terrorists under the banner of the Black Eagles began to emerge in the eastern regions of Loxenia in 2011, just a year after Dune Salov and the National Coalition of Loxenia swept to power in the 2010 Presidential Election, beginning their reign of terror with a bombing attack on the Libirachi Embassy in the capital city of Kiev, leaving hundreds dead and aggravating the Libirachi Empire, who unbeknownst to the Loxenian regime had sponsored the terror attacks as a front for an invasion of Loxenia under the premise of protection and stability. Led by recently promoted General Cassio Tagge of the Imperial Occupation Army, the Libirachi Imperial Army rolled over the boarder to invade as an act of retaliation for the bombing, which the blame was placed upon the Loxenian government; within days, the superior LIA had overwhelmed the boarder forces of the LAF, securing a large part of the eastern boarder under it's control. With the crisis beginning to spiral out of control, President Dune Salov ordered the Loxenian Armed Forces to conduct an immediate counter offensive to re-take the land stolen by the insurgent and Libirachi coalition.

Fighting the Libirachi Empire back to the existing boarder, the LAF came under aerial bombardment from Libirachi Imperial Forces, allowing the insurgent forces to surround the Loxenian forces hiding from the bombardment in a secure bunker and executing them, taking control of the bunker in the process. As the Black Eagles began to spread across the nation, they found themselves a new financial benefactor in the multinational EuroCorp corporation, led by militant capitalist Ian Quinby, who provided discounted weaponry and much needed supply chains to the group as part of an agreement brokered through the Libirachi Empire, which allowed EuroCorp to use the Black Eagles as a front for their nefarious underhand dealings. Setting up his headquarters in the liberated bunker on July 27, Black Eagle commander Lor San-Teccia, nicknamed the "Sheikh" by his forces, began growing his operation into the major Loxenian cities in August of 2011, using teams of Libirachi commandos to storm warehouses and farms for equipment and food stocks across the eastern countryside whilst planting terrorist cells into cities to begin making the Black Eagle name known across the nation with a series of terror attacks, including assassinations of key cabinet members under the Salov regime.

### Year Two

With the terror attacks from the Black Eagles still ongoing and the Loxenian boarder still under gradual assault from the Libirachi Imperial Army, President Dune Salov proclaimed the conflict as a civil war for the identity of Loxenia in a speech to the Loxenian congress in February 2012, ramping up attacks on the Libirachi Imperial Army at the eastern boarder, whilst putting up the death penalty for any citizen found to be assisting the Black Eagles, who had begun to ramp up their efforts into suicide bombings and assassinations, killing off the first Salov cabinet by June 2012 before beginning a campaign of insurrectionist action in which different states within the nation were targeted for uprising campaigns in which citizens were encouraged to rise up against their governors. Likewise in the east, the Libirachi Empire annexed the peninsula of Crimea using brute force, starving the state of water for months before the regime capitulated to Libirachi rule and became part of the empire.

### Year Three

Following the loss of the Crimean peninsula to the Libirachi Empire, President Dune Salov began to try to secure a United Nations resolution to condemn the actions of Libirachi President Nathan Jackson and his programme of domination in Asia, although movements behind the scenes from the Libirachi Imperial Security Bureau worked to torpedo the move and instead Loxenia found itself mostly friendless and Vice President Ryan Jones became increasingly deployed across the world in an attempt to gain new allies. At the same time, the Black Eagles had once again stepped up their attacks on Loxenian provinces and district after district continued to fall to the terrorists, with the Loxenian Armed Forces unable to counter the forces of Lor San-Teccia and his EuroCorp benefactors, leading to a collapse of government authority in the eastern reaches of the nation, whilst the Libirachi Empire continued to roll its forces over the Loxenian boarder to poach land from the ethnically Libirachi portions of the nation.

### Year Four

Acting upon new intelligence, the Loxenian Armed Forces managed to intercept Black Eagles leader Lor San-Teccia as he attempted to flee from the Loxenian government and struck down his armoured convoy with a missile strike from an automated drone, throwing the Eagles into turmoil as they were left leaderless, whilst the LAF began to make a forward assault into their territory. As the major benefactor to the cause, multi-millionaire EuroCorp CEO Ian Quinby took over effective control over the terrorist forces, making the Black Eagles into his personal fighting forces in order to secure control over the flailing eastern European nation. With control over much of the eastern part of Loxenia split between the Libirachi Empire and the Black Eagles, President Dune Salov enacted martial law in March 2014 and banned all other political parties from standing against the governing National Coalition for the 2014 Loxenian Presidential Election, subsequently winning in a landslide in an election that many Western nations and opposition groups denounced as unfair and illegal, branding President Salov as a "tin-pot dictator", in the words of UK Prime Minister David Cameron.

### Year Five

Having secured a (contested) mandate for a new term in office, President Dune Salov began to further consolidate power to his office in order to fight off the coalition of allies fighting for control over his nation, although a bill dismissing parliament was revoked by the courts and failed to pass a majority in session, leading to the creation of a new parliament, the Парламент штату or State Parliament, which was made up of candidates selected by the National Coalition rather than the general electorate, leading to further claims of Salov ruling by decree as a dictator. Meanwhile, Black Eagle forces managed to secure the Blokada Line within their control, effectively constructing a nearly impenetrable boarder between the rebel states and the central government, as EuroCorp clamped down on all forms of dissent in their controlled provinces through the use of emerging technology to quell voices of protesters and using new forms of weaponry to attack rioters in the streets if they rebelled against the Black Eagles rule.

### Year Six

As war began to enter it's sixth year, the United Nations passed a proclamation denouncing the Loxenian civil war, citing the vast plethora of war crimes committed by all sides as justification for a joint task-force entry into Loxenia, although said task-force failed to materialise as the N20 with Libirachi President Nathan Jackson at the head of calls to prevent an intervention, whilst Loxenian President Dune Salov numerous times sent out requests to receive aid from international players, with US President George Zander sending military trainers to help prop up the failing Loxenian government. With the two sides settling into stalemate, Loxenia became divided between government and rebel states although no new government had been created in the rebel provinces to act as a replacement to the old regime.
