## The Great Civil War

*Full Article: The Zealand Civil War*
The Great Civil War began when the Holy City Of Christchurch was founded. The South Island of what was then called "New Zealand" seceded from the mainland after allegedly making the city of Auckland pay for the construction of the city. the city of Auckland decided to unite North Island under the name The Zee Lands. The city of Auckland was not in any mood for negotiation as in their eyes this was an act of treachery so when the Supreme Leader of The Zealand Mclachlan Mcurdy was supposed to be meeting with The Zee Lands' Prime Minister Jo 'Joe' Mammah, the city of Auckland pressured the army to attempt to arrest Mclachlan despite knowing this would trigger war. The Zee Lands' 11th infantry battalion encircled the platoon of 50 Zealish soldiers and successfully arrested all 50 men including Mclachlan. This made the Zealish extremely angry and they let The Zee Lands know in the battle of wellington where 250 Zealish men swam the cook straight and began to fire upon the walls of Welcatraz. The Zee Lands' armed response unit attempted to flank the soldiers, but unbeknownst to them the Zealish had dug trenches just behind their lines, so when The Zee Lands' ARU began their assault, the Zealish fired upon the men, killing all 153 members of the Armed Response Unit whilst suffering no casualties. The Zee Lands were forced to release the men from Welcatraz but insisted they keep Mclachlan. Outraged by this, some soldiers began to fire at windows in Welcatraz, killing 6 prisoners. after a 5 day standoff the Zealish troops were running low on supplies and in a stroke of graciousness, the residents of wellington accepted the soliders into their own homes. Unfortunately those who did not comply were killed, beaten, or otherwise abused. These events left a sour taste in the Wellingtonians' mouths. The next day there was unrest. Some Wellingtonians had taken soldiers' weapons and either killed them in the night or held them for ransom. In total 60 Zealish troops were captured and 19 were dead. The next day on the 5th Of Febujanumarch The Zee Lands surrendered and The Zealand was recognized as its own state. The captured Zealish troops were sent to Welcatraz and The Zealand never went back for them.

## Secession Of Newer Zealand

The Holy City Of Christchurch was unjustly attacked when troops from Ashburton stole a giant donut from the roof of the finest bakery in The New Zealand Islands. Christchurch police officers shot the men dead before they were able to make off with the donut, despite this, the donut still went missing and Christchurch search parties found it in the nearby town of springfield. This sparked outrage among the christchurch populace and the city seceded from **The Zealand** In 148 AC (Apiochemistry). Later on in the year, several surrounding towns in banks peninsula and around christchurch joined christchurch to form Newer Zealand.
