The **Battle of Edinburgh** was a battle that took place in Edinburgh, Lokinskos Occupied Scotland from 13 - 15 February 2023. It resulted in the deaths of at least 60,000 people, including Lokinskos leaders Jeremy Hunter and Nigel Franklin as well as Himalayan Union president Roshan Raval. The battle began when the leaders of Eurono, Incognitoland, the United Middle East, and the Himalayan Union teamed up in an attempt to overthrow the unrecognized Lokinskos government in what was then a *de-jure* part of Mxgentaland. The five leaders of the countries were spotted upon entering, which began the battle. During this, King of Incognitoland/Euronian prime minister Artist Incognito fled to the top of the Edinburgh Bank Tower, with Lokinskos leader/EOB vice president Nigel Franklin following suit. The two battled on its rooftop which ended in Franklin plummeting to his death from the tower. Due to explosives being set off near the Edinburgh Bank Tower, the structure collapsed shortly afterwards, taking Incognito down with it despite his attempts to escape in time. Miraculously, he survived the collapse with no minor injuries.

Incognito, Hawkeye, Uzair, Raval, and Stackerton attempted to flee the scene but were pursued by Lokinskos leader Jeremy Hunter in a car chase that ended up on the railroads, resulting in Uzair being critically wounded from a gunshot fired by Hunter to the head, Incognito being injured from a gunshot wound to the shoulder, and a head on train collision that killed both Hunter and Raval.

Uzair was rushed to the hospital, and was due to go into surgery to remove the bullet from his head. The Euronian and Incognitan officials later went onto live TV to proclaim allied victory, and the return of Scotland to Mxgentaland. Shortly after this, however, the four were captured by French authorities while they tried to flee the country (Uzair was in the hospital at the time of his capture), with their whereabouts remaining unknown for the remainder of that day before French authorities announced the following day that the four were alive in Paris and that they would be released later that day. Later that evening, an aircraft sent from the Communist Party of the Middle East dropped a bomb on the city, killing another 50,000 civilians and soldiers. Following this, allied soldiers retreated to Glasgow.

Despite being the ones responsible for capturing and detaining four world leaders, as well sending army members to prevent the fall of Scotland and recognizing the latter as an independent state, France has repeatedly denied being involved in the battle.
