## How the Conflict Started?

#### The Embassy Conflict

On Spawn Island, a North Korean Embassy was placed and claimed on 12/3/22 by 5x7mm and construction of the Embassy was ready for construction. On 12/4/22, however an unknown Floridian had destroyed the North Korean flag placed, as well as the plot of land and when 5x7mm came to begin construction, the land that was plotted out was destroyed and replaced by a Floridian Embassy, inside read a sign telling the Koreans to "GO BACK TO THE MAINLAND". 5x7mm decided to destroy a bell inside the Embassy and run off with it, until he was caught he threw the Bell on the ground. As 5x7mm began to build the new Embassy, Ozzy (The Leader of Florida) was placing many flags of Florida around the building, resulting in Floridians not being allowed in the Embassy (Sign was placed above door) and thus the resentment between both sides began to build up.

#### North Korean's on Spawn Island and Japanese Underground Base

Pyongyang was only 300 blocks away from spawn at the time, (1000 as of now) so many North Korean travelers went back and forth to grab resources and things of that nature. Although North Korea had not established a permanent facility on Spawn until 12/5/22 (New North Korean Embassy), North Korea still had a presence on Spawn Island. On 12/4/22, Smokey and 5x7mm happened to find a hidden base under a Japanese house (owner unknown), unknown that Japan was apart of the Republic of Florida at the time, Smokey and 5x7mm decided to place 4 flags in the area and a sign reading "Korea Number One". On the way out of the base, they were hit by the resident going up the water elevator and left. It is questioned whether the hit was intentional or accidental.

## How did the Cold-War go from taunts to violence and threats?

#### Conflict of Pyongyang Bridge

After the incident on 12/4/22 with North Korea placing flags, on the streets of Pyongyang, a Floridian Flag was placed on top of a Camp Fire as a joke and symbolism to the North Korean and Florida tensions rising after the Embassy Issue. However, after the flags were placed in the Japanese Underground Base, some people from the Republic of Florida came to Pyongyang and destroyed the campfire, flag, and sign. One of the players who had "God Weapons" was crouched and as 5x7mm ran up on him, 5x7mm was killed resulting in the first death in the conflict.

It is unknown and argued who threw the first hit, North Korea claims to have video evidence that has not been shown to Floridians and the Floridians claim that 5x7mm hit a player who had a god helmet, causing him to instantly die. After 5x7mm was killed, around 3-4 more North Koreans were killed as Florida spammed the chat taunting North Korea and North Koreans insulted the Floridians for coming onto their land and using god weapons. The Floridians then tried to grief the Pyongyang Bridge by placing a large penis made of wood as a taunt to the Koreans. The Koreans chased the Floridians back to spawn and many of the Koreans were attacking Floridians in the street. At one time, the Floridians started to break signs above the Korean Embassy and board in both 5x7mm and Smokey by spamming blocks outside the doors. At the end of the incident, the Floridians decided to move away from spawn island and to an undisclosed location. However, not before placing a final taunt of a "L" inside the Korean Embassy message chest made of Sugar (Cocaine).

At the end of the battle, a North Korean realized a flag was captured, so they decided to put a fake version of the one captured flag inside their Embassy with a sign that showed it was "won in battle". The Sugar (Cocaine) was also renamed and put in the Embassy as a victory trophy for the Koreans, although this was less of a battle and more of a skirmish with no side coming out victorious, the Koreans claimed it as a win as the Floridians had moved far away from Pyongyang.

#### Korean Spies Tracking Floridians

During this time, an age of secrecy arises as Koreans begin forming their intelligence agency. Many Spies began tracking and following and exploring, looking for where the Floridians moved to, a majority of the age of exploration started from the intelligence program and as a result a large area of the world has been mapped out by North Korean explorers, nearing the end of 12/4/22, a North Korean explorer ended up finding a new Floridian territory, causing another conflict.

#### Compromise of Floridian Village

A Newly founded village had been discovered by Smokey and Hallow, 2 Koreans surveying the land, a Church member apart of the Republic of Florida, Jacob was the only member at the base at the time. Smokey and Hallow began to search around the village trying to remain undetected at which point Smokey was found looking through chests and storage units. A conflict arose where Smokey ended up letting off an explosive killing someone. It is unknown exactly who it killed as no evidence was recorded, and it is also unknown whether the explosion was done on purpose by Smokey or if it was a bomb planted by the Floridians, however at the end of this conflict, Florida had moved again this time to another unknown area.

## Korean-Floridian Non-Aggression Pact

#### What is the NAP?

A Korean Leadership member representing Kim Jong Un (5x7mm) and Jacob, a member of the Church and The Republic of Florida's second in Command ended up having peace talks where both sides brought up terms and conditions. They write out as follows:

#### Florida's Terms:

* no intentional harm brought to any member of the floridians
* trespassing will not be allowed
* verbal threats will not be tolerated
* if a need arises to cross boundaries make at least one member aware of it for the record.
* do not claim territory that is within a range of 150 blocks of a Floridian building.
* bi-weekly meetings conducted by elected representatives of each faction in neutral territory without the exclusion of weaponry

(Written exactly as stated)

#### North Korea's Terms:

* No intentional violence to any North Korean same with verbal threats
* As of now, the Military has placed a restriction on "All Floridians" coming to any North Korean city. Passing through territorial claims we have is fine (for cities/colonies only) and we do not need to be notified as we have a large claim for Pyongyang and other places, and only a small part is actually constructed so just as long as you stay away from buildings and be aware that as we expand you only need to stay away from the buildings themselves all is good. Also, just to clarify I'm sure Florida has no intentions in resource mining/collecting in our claims, we only allow them to "Pass through and not snoop, steal or destroy any natural or DPRK placed blocks/entities". As a side note, they (DPRK Military Command) do plan on lifting the restrictions when tensions die down and they no longer feel that Floridians entering our cities is a security risk.
* Any North Korean military base / port or compound is off limits. (They have signs and walls, so just as long as you do not go past those markers)
* And we would like the same 150 block distance rule between claims
* Lastly, I will always attend the meetings as the nations "Leader" and our Appointed Rep will be Smokey, however we ask that we can change our representatives / Have a backup rep if need be.

## End of the Cold War

### Florida Republic collapses

On 12/7/22, Florida Nationalists decided to succeed from the Republic leaving a power void in the Republic to join the religious group known as The New Order. Due to the power void being created, the Republic collapsed leaving Japanese, Texan, and Canadian leaders to form their own union which name is unknown. The Republic of Florida collapsed, leading many to speculate although the conflict was short, that North Korea and the CCW won the Cold War.

### Who won the Cold War?

Although there is no official "winner" of the Cold War, it is safe to assume that because the Republic of Florida has collapsed and the Floridian Nationalists the once leaders of the Nation have declared themselves neutral, North Korea outlasted the Republic, resulting in a conditional bittersweet 'victory' for Korea.
