Second Cold War

The Second Cold War was a two part Cold War that preceded World War 4. The first part of the war was between Charkao, Minted Island and China. It was a short war that took place from 2062 to 2064. Threats were made but the war fortunately came to a close with no deaths.

A second part of the Cold War began in 2070, with Joshinstreet and Zaktopia having disputes with Charkao and Yin Bi and his authoritarian regime. A first threat was made in the Zedician Union headquarters, when Yin Bi supposedly threw Dima Smirnov's book in the fire.

* January 2070: Char Ko gave 20 percent of his power to Yin Bi, making them equals in power over Charkao. Yin Bi has increased Charkao's Authoritarianism and is now decreasing relations with other countries for more wealth and power. This began when Charkao started restricting and sinking Joshinstreet's oil imports and greatly taxing Zaktopia's imports. A report even surfaced where a Joshinstreet Navy ship was taken into custody and the Soldiers onboard were arrested. Charkao faced great outlash from other countries due to these restrictions. Char Ko has stopped representing Charkao at meetings and they are instead represented by Yin Bi. Yin Bi has expressed his views about Capitalist Authoritarianism and how Charkao's former path was on its way to Socialism which would in turn destroy the country from the inside. Char Ko hasn't released any statements since the controversy began. Border control has toughened up in Charkao and military funding went up by 150 percent.
