## The Revolutionary War

ABR's war of independence, called "The Revolutionary War", started in december 2012 and ended in with the announciation of a new state coined Arctic Barents Republic. The insurrection had started with a minor group of an anarchist, communist, socialist, feminist & environmentalist DIY drug cartel tired with the drug war being waged in the region. Many quickly joined due to their propaganda and liberal, democratic & humanist views. They gained popularity fast due to the oppressive regimes of the regions. The defeat of both Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia came as a surprise on most and the victory of the revolutionary army of Omni Modus in the region brung a lot of social changes critics have coined "an insane marxist social-libertarian experiment on a massive scale".
