Dutch invasion of Granada

There are multiple versions on what happened, both are included.

## Granadian version

### The siege

**(Note: this article is considered anti-Nationalist Party propaganda by the Dutch Nationalist Party)**

In August of 2022, Gerard sieged the town of Granada, being the capital of Central American Union. He claimed (it is unknown whether he knew the truth or not) that Granada was a dead town. However, one of Granada's members, FunnyUsername69, was active (or became active after the siege, there is no exact information on that), and the town wasn't bankrupt.

The invasion faced no external resistance, Granada was occupied and plundered to bankruptcy by the Dutch military.

### The scandal

On the 2nd of September 2022 it was proven using /res that Funnyusername was active in-game, and was last online that very day, September 2nd.

After a later expedition to Granada, it was found that a large area was excavated in preparation for future buildings.

On the 3rd of September Teplapus contacted FunnyUsername69 via Discord. It turned out that that person was the creator of New Vlore. It also turned out that he stored his historical items from New Vlore in Granada. FunnyUsername was clearly unhappy about the situation.

Teplapus made an appeal to the Dutch Parliament to release and compensate Granada, however it was rejected with a 4/7 majority. Gerard said that he will only release Granada if the mayor personally comes up to him and asks to be released. Gerard also said "idc I only care about moneyys", which hopefully was a joke.

### Plans of guerrilla warfare

Teplapus messaged the Granadian resident, saying that the Netherlands is open to discussion. FunnyUsername didn't want to negotiate, since he considered begging for mercy while being in the right to be against his dignity.

Instead Granada started planning guerrilla warfare against the Netherlands, with the goal of annoying them until they release the town. Granada even had plans to assassinate Gerard in the Alps.

### Release

Granada was released during a major economic collapse on the server. Gerard was in a very happy and kind mood, thinking that he will never need sieges anymore anyways, so Teplapus convinced him to release the town.

Teplapus contacted Funnyusername again and offered to personally compensate the money taken during the siege, however Funnyusername said that it was not necessary.

### The siege

Granada was a dead town which had no sights of a developing city, and was only non-bankrupt because of town taxes being enabled. Prime Minister Gerard de Grote of the Netherlands sieged it to get money for subsidies for more building projects.

The siege ended as planned with the Netherlands getting clean money for builds, and everything would have been fine if the DPNP didn't make a scandal out of it.

### The scandal

In early September Teplapus saw the opportunity to gain electoral points by spreading fake propaganda news about Granada being an active town, framing Gerard, while Funnyusername, which he referred to, was only active in discord, and hasn't been online for 4 months.

Teplapus made a Parliament vote to release Granada and pay them money, however it was not approved. The only people voting to release Granada were the corrupt neutralists and the social democrats.

According to the Constitution, a second class mayor can personally ask the PM to be released, and their request will be considered. However Teplapus is against following the law, so he contacted Funnyusername first and asked them to negotiate. Being even more stupid and stubborn, Funnyusername refused negotiations.

### Release

During a period of inflation Gerard was convinced that sieges were no longer necessary. It was then when Teplapus tricked Gerard into making the mistake of illegally releasing Granada.
