**The Orange Civil War of 2021** (Also known as the **Orange Civil War**, **Orange Battlefront,** or **Rosalian Coup**) was the war between the Dictatorial Regime (members of which were comprised of both the Terrorista Citri and various foreign allies and groups) and the Tribal Council Military Force, led by the Tribal Council. The Civil War was fought from February 2021 to March 2021, and ended with the official declaration of the People's Republic of Orange as the legitimate force over the previously-owned territory by the Eternal Orange Confederacy. Notable events that transpired during and after the Orange Civil War of 2021 were the Dissolution of the Terrorista Citri, the Citrus Offensive Campaign, the first marriage between a Moderator and a Non-Moderator, and the brief PRO Trade Crisis of March 2021.

## History of the War

### Pre-War Preparation/Conditions

#### **Eternal Orange Confederacy**

The Eternal Orange Confederacy had suffered immensely by an increasing report of stagnation within the economic sectors of the various regions. While the initial appeal to a confederacy led by the primary "tribes" (the regions of Citrus, Salamandar, Tangerine, Clementine, and Fenhong) allowed for far more developments as individual actors, the resulting economic sphere had left much of the other regions financially neglected. Governors of the areas would be particularly difficult, especially in the Clementine and Tangerine regions, leading to much more hostile ideological opponents. However, the Confederacy had strong ties to trade networks overseas, and had successfully mounted campaigns to enlist members into a unified military force to keep things peaceful. A few years prior to the incidents, the development of the United Front of Clementine and Tangerine (commonly known as the Terrorista Citri) had become a large controversy due to its success and eventual global prominence. Much of its propaganda would target this group.

The Eternal Orange Confederacy would then go on to form the Tribal Council Military Force, an official organization dedicated to the maintenance of the unification between regions. This would be in response to the rising tensions between a growing revolutionary desire in the Clementine and Tangerine regions and would oftentimes scout areas for the sake of locating and quelling rebellious behaviour. The efficacy of this effort varied from region to region, with the forces that arrive in Central City oftentimes failing to properly defend against its opponents.

#### **The Dictatorial Regime**

The primary forces of the Dictatorial Regime had been developed largely from the United Front of Clementine and Tangerine. Likewise, its leader, Rosalia Nazek II, would become the face and eventual leader that aimed to install a dictatorship and unify the entirety of the regions under said rule. Much of its infamy would come from its successful coup of Central City and the development of stronger militant forces across the Clementine and Tangerine regions. Likewise, the organization would see beneficiaries from Halovin due to the Terrorista Citri's resources and recruitment strategies.

During this time, the Omaoma Fightclub, an organization which Rosalia Nazek II would participate in, would ultimately disband and act as an arm of the Citri and their attempt to lay claim to the territory over the Confederacy. Concurrent with this development, the far-weakened Tangerine Freedom Army, an organization dedicated to fighting off the existing governance over the Tangerine region, would assimilate into the Citri as well.

### Catalysts of War

#### **Disappearance of the Monarchy**

The reigning Monarchy would be eventually captured by the Citri's Elite Guards and later taken hostage for a brief period. Starting in Citrus, the Elite Guards would sweep the area and obtain as many living royal family members as they could in one night. This would allow for the Citri to take advantage of the chaos to rally their forces within the government. While much of the information regarding the specifics of the kidnapping were scarce, by in large the kidnapping was successful. The monarchy would be later executed.

The reaction from the Tribal Council had been far more hostile than initially expected. While much of the matters had been kept secret from the general populace, word had spread among the military and much of the local areas began to try to either take the opportunity to double down on loyalty to the Tribal Council, in the case of many Citrus regions as well as the Crownlands, or look to alternative support, such as the Citri in the Clementine and Tangerine regions.
