## Casualties

Unknown: Commander A (April 8th, 2023)

The 2023 Invasion of Minedonia was an invasion of Minedonia by an unidentified group beginning on April 4th, 2023. The invasion was most likely the result of several recent events happening in Minedonia. A majority of Minedonians originally believed Mr. Mills instigated the invasion, but he has denied all involvement. The invading force have caused several minor to noticeable property damage to several buildings and roads throughout Minedonia. The invading team retreated from Minedonia on April 8th after Commander A was killed. On April 13th, it was announced that the Invasion has ended since the invading forces haven’t returned to Minedonia; resulting in a victory for Minedonia.

## Pre-Invasion

The invasion is believed to have been a culmination of several events in Minedonia, rather than just one specific reason. On March 4th, 2023, President Henry seized the Mills Co-Operative Company’s refinery, which was used to drill up Overlord Virus for the planned DiLaurentis Tower, over concerns of environmental terrorism. This would spark an ongoing feud over control of the refinery which would cause the initial tension between the Minedonian Government, and Mr. Mills.

On March 17th, 2023, Carnium and Dragomir began a skirmish near the Minedonian Civil Defense building mostly in an attempt to scare the other side off from being in public areas of Minedonia. This event would cause two major companies to be occupied which would hypothetically be a prime opportunity for another company or person to easily gain dominance within the private sector; something Mr. Mills knew all too well.

On April 4th, Mr. Mills broke into the Minedonian Museum and stole Mitchell Foulkes’ shovel, and an amethyst clump from Fish Island thought to reverse the effects of the Overlord Virus. He most likely planned on using these stolen items as a bargaining chip to gain back control of the refinery. Mitch, Nols, Zane, and former President Henry caught up with Mills at the abandoned refinery and attempted to reason with him. Mills however did not listen and wanted to injury Henry for seizing the refinery by using a bulldozer. As Mills attempted to catch him, he was forced to change his plans and escape as Mitch and Nols were able to get Henry to safety. Mills later ran off, dropping the stolen shovel and amethyst in the process, exclaiming “…you took my refinery…this is war!”. This altercation would establish a potential motive for Mr. Mills to order or otherwise be associated with the planning of an invasion or other major event.

## Beginning of Invasion

The invasion began several moments later with several helicopters and trucks from the Mills Co-Operative Company marked with a red letter “A” speeding across Minedonia. Mitch and Nols initially thought it was the work of Mr. Mills after the recent confrontation. Mr. Mills would later admit that he financed the group in order to seize control of the refinery again, but the group later turned on him for unknown reasons. He denied any involvement in the current invasion. The enemy forces began bombing the Minedonian Court House and Main Street on April 4th, 2023, thus marking the beginning of the invasion.

Mitch Foulkes, and Nols began taking out several of the helicopters, while Zane, and former President Henry began tackling the troops on the ground. The pilots in the helicopters began to nosedive straight into the Courthouse and other buildings, causing considerable damage. As the people began fighting back, the invading troops began to retreat towards the Minedonian Courthouse which mostly held it. They temporarily installed a large “A” sign on top of the courthouse which would later be toppled by Nols. Several bombs were dropped on Main Street and other minor roads; temporarily causing delays and minor injuries. The invading troops also began looting Leblanc, a pizzeria, and a private residence causing property loss. Mills would begin repairing some of the damaged roads with temporary bridges as everyone else was encouraged to hide and make sure of the underground sewers.

On April 8th, the invading forces attacked the beach, the industrial area, and Main Street some more. Several helicopters, tanks, artillery, jeeps, and other equipment were sent for this attack unlike the previous event. The Commodore Hotel, and the Court House suffered minor damage during this attack. The Civil Defense Headquarters and the Minedonian Theater suffered some very serious damage. Mitch, Nols, and Zane continued to attack the forces and destroy their tanks, while Perry joined in and shot down many of their helicopters and missiles. One of their tanks was preserved somewhat intact, which is planned to be kept as an historical artifact. The invading forces were losing morale rather quickly as Perry captured Commander A and killed him for starting the invasion. The rest of the invading forces continued to attack until they eventually retreated towards the beach and assumingely retreated from all of Minedonia.

## War Committee Board

Mr. Mills, Mitch, Henry, Zane, and Nols eventually met up at Mills’ house and established the “War Committee Board”, a board which planned to tackle the problem of the invasion, as Minedonia currently has no standing military. The War Committee Board initially planned to send a letter to President Harpitron and hold the Minedonian Civil Defense accountable post-invasion for their alleged “lack of support”. The War Committee Board has not met since its creation on April 4th, 2023 and is believed to have been silently dissolved.

## Response

On April 5th, 2023, Carnium pledged they would use their resources to defend Minedonia from the invading forces to the “…last dying breath!”.

Mr. Mills announced he would send all resources from the Mills Co-Operative Company and from the DiLaurentis Tower to help end the invasion.

On April 8th, former President Henry announced the Steele Company would send several large tractors and other heavy vehicles to assist in stopping the Invasion.

## Reconstruction

On April 13th, 2023, Mr. Mills and several other Minedonians began discussing Reconstruction, a planned process of fixing the damage from the Invasion and holding those who initiated it accountable. On April 17th, the Minedonian Civil Defense sent out a message announcing its support for Reconstruction. They opened up a temporary emergency shelter in their training room for people who were displaced because of the Invasion.

Alexander Murray reached out to President Harpitron requesting the Minedonian Government open an official investigation to the cause of the Invasion. He believes that Mr. Mills should be held responsible for initiating the attack. Several Minedonians agreed with Murray’s statement and began reaching out to President Harpitron regarding the selection of a judge or jury for the trial. Mr. Mills still proclaims that he is innocent and the invasion was a “clean invasion”. On April 18th, a poll was launched by Mr. Mills asking if Minedonia should investigate and hold a court trial for the 2023 Invasion of Minedonia; the poll votes were 12-0, making it the largest voted poll in Minedonian history.

On May 15th, President Harpitron formally established the Minedonian Security Agency under its former name “Minedonian National Security Defense”. The goal of this organization is to protect Minedonia from threats both man-made and natural; and to prevent another invasion from happening on Minedonian soil.
