The UWP Crisis

## Before the crisis

Shortly after the end of the Spawn war Jace had been approached by Dave who had at that time been experiencing exponential growth of his faction from Charlesonian spawn war veterans who were promised an escpae from the politics that had consumed the faction at this point. Dave had requested that he be given his indepenence from the confederacy of Charlesonia since the war was over. Jace initiall declined stating that the faction would eventually join forces with lopad and destroy charlesonia. However he would eventually change his mind and Grant Dave his wish. This one action sparked the flame for the darkest times in the history of Charles.

Towards the closing Days of S7 Jace captured Nain Mata for numerous crimes committed within Charlesonian territory. Nain told Jace that he was a part of a newly formed faction dedicated to destroying Charlesonia and that he would help him get any information he needed on them if he simply let him go. At first Jace thought Nain was lying until he was given direct acess to their main communication network which confirmed everything he had said. To this day Nain is viewed as a hero to Charlesonians from that period.

Jace then leaked this information to the entirety of the world. The united world powers consisted of Lopad and Dankus0 when it was revealed to the public. The response to this group was overall and was especially offensive to Jace and Danny who had uncovered a considerable ammount of lies being spread about them throughout the newly created faction.

The philosophy of the early UWP goes as follows:

1-Charlesonia cannot be beaten in S7

2-A combined effort at the start of a new season would lead to Charlesonia being easily beaten

3-Go into hiding until the start of S8

This belief is most similar to the slooths of S6 who had pushed for the end of the season to allow them to have a greater chance at combating charlesonia.

The United World Powers would abide by this code with exceptions being their election which they held in game and the charlesonia election for its leader going into S8.

Jace,Danny,Coley,and Lukas all understood the threat that the united world powers could pose going in to the 8th season and as such they needed to ensure the help of anyone they could.

They would gather all of their freinds and former enemies together at Fort Nazeemr where they would all agree to the Nazeemr accords ensuring that the rest of the world would be at Chalesonia's side to fight the UWP. With the accords the UWP lost Roma and Jagged's half of Lopad which was Changed to Jagged Empire after the agreement.Charlesonia also gained the assistence of a newly spawned person by the name of Rodrii. The stage was now set for S8 to be the darkest season yet.

S8
--

S8 began the same as the ones before it, however the presense of the United World Powers and their goal was made clear very early on when coley found his base that he had shared with Barrier looted. As it would turn out Barrier had went with the Charlesonians on the first day to get the coordinates of the area they would be living and was a spy for the UWP the entire time. This angered Jace and Danny particularly because despite what they knew was coming they simply wanted to continue to live the way they had for 5 seasons. Due to this the Charlesonian people spent the time that they should have been using to gather resources to fight the enemy they knew was coming to do things such as fishing tournaments and other things of that sort.

Fortunately for Charlesonia, Rodrii was on a 24/7 grind and had created his own set of Netherite armor very early on before giving Jace the ingots to create his own.

Across the ocean the United World Powers had set up their base and began building and gathering resources. They had planned this out for nearly months at this point and the base itself had been modeled and had a set plan ready to go. However to the dismay of the Dankus section of the faction, some of the lopadians had decided to build outside of their sector. Luke had stated the fact that the Lopad sector was not even marked yet so it was unfair to expect them to sit and wait what could be potentially months just to build something. Dave disagreed and announced that he would be running for Luke's position in the upcoming election. Many within the UWP considered Luke to be a fraudulent leader due to the fact that most of his votes came from spawn war veterans who had no intention of ever helping with their effort.

## Danny's Betrayal

Charlesonia was faced with the reality that all of their enemies had joined forces to destroy them. This was made worse by the theory that the ocean at Charlesonia led directly to the UWP. This theory was proven after the Charlesonian parade through the UWP. But that was not the only threat they faced. They constantly had to deal with people coming to their shores and destroying their homes and stealing their items. This was something that the United World Powers would later use to turn people against Charlesonia. Despite the fact that Jace and the rest of Charlesonia were dealing with the issue as best as they could, with most greifs being fixed within a few days, it didnt matter to most who would saw the UWP as the better option.

There is much speculation even today over the cirumstances regarding Blocky's betrayal of Jace and the rest of Charlesonia. The 3 stories go as follows:

Danny is greifed by random from spawn or Jagged: This is the official story from Danny where he states that someone that looked like Jagged greifed his house containing a shrine that was very important to him. he said that he came over and watched the person burn the building before they ran away. This story wasnt accepted as truth leading to the other two speculations.

Danny greifed himself: this was the most widely accepted theory at the time of the crisis and was thought of by a Jace,Coley, and Lukas when they were investigating the situation to try and catch the greifer. They noticed that blocky's house was not actually made out of wood but rather stone meaning that the fire story didnt add up. It also appeared that the place had been broken at random to make it look like it had burned, however the shrine inside that was made from wood was completely untouched. Jace then added that Danny had previously joined the UWP as a "Spy" without any prior warning to anyone and then later said on a visit with dave that he was "not actually spying" before going back on it after Jace asked why he would join the UWP. This made it clear to many that Danny had a desire to join the UWP but wanted a good reason to do so. This theory is one of the most looked into out of the 3.

The UWP Greifed Danny: This theory was only mainstream up until the investigation revealing that it was likely untrue. The theory states that the united world powers had greifed danny's house and then reached out to him saying to join them to prevent it from ever happening again. This was backed up due to the fact that at the parade they encountered a man who looked exactly like jagged at the united world powers. It was thought that this man had been told to go to charles and destroy Blocky's house with the hopes of him thinking it was Jagged who did it. This theory is the least likely of the 3 with every UWP member coming forward after the fact and saying they were not involved in the greifing of Danny's house .

whether theory one or two is correct is besides the point however as Danny joined the UWP that day which saddened many within Charlesonia, particularly Jace. This saddness would be turned to anger when it was made clear only a few days later that Danny was completely cemented into the UWP beleif. He had begun coming to Charlesonia and killing people at the order of Dave. This was a direct violation of the treaty that Dave himself had written earlier in the season forbidding Charlesonia from killing people from the UWP and vise versa. Dave claimed that Lukas had killed Luke during the parade however the evidence for this was left to nothing more than people's word as luke had actually died from fall damage. He then claimed that since it was a bounty it did not violate the agreement which Jace disagreed with. However the UWP refused to listen when asked to abide by the agreement as charlesonia had and so Jace knew that the conflict that they knew was brewing since the end of S7 was finally upon them.

## infighting in the UWP

shortly after Blocky joined the UWP they had their first presidential debate. Danny, Dave, and Luke were the candidates. Luke preached of the injustice that Dave would bring upon the people of the UWP with his plan to demolish everything they had built in order to conform to his original layout of the area. This did not matter though as the UWP had a very partisan government leading to Luke's concerns being completely overlooked by the members of the Dankus party who held the majority of the faction's population.Dave would win the election and was set to take office in febuary.

Jace, who was at the debate, noticed the situation that luke was in and granted him a way out. He offered him the aid of Charlesonia in the event that he decided to fight back against the Partisan government that would soon take hold of the UWP. Luke jumped at the offer and began planning his secession with Jace.

## The Mission

Lukas and Coley were more angered about Danny's actions than anyone else and had come to Jace with resources for him to enact a plan. They knew that and everyone else viewed Danny as invincible which is what led to the UWP having no fear when sending him over to kill people. Jace's plan was to take the nether highway to the UWP and pick up a stranger along the way. Initially they wanted the attack to remain anonymous and only wanted to take Blocky's items and get them back to charles so he could no longer use them. For this they each packed several harming potions and a bucket of lava. They had to get the finishing blow with the lava so that it would be unknown who it was who killed Danny. along with this they brought several potions of invisibility. When going in they would not be able to wear armor making them able to be killed very easily. Initially Jace was not going to come but would go on to change his mind. Jace also wanted to document the event however Lukas and Coley argued that the UWP would use Dark Magic to view his live documentation and know they were coming, ruining the plan entirely. Jace assured them that even though the UWP were their enemies he was sure that they would not utilize Black Magic. as it would turn out Lukas and Coley were right.

Dave would use Dark Magic to view Jace's live documenation and find out about the plan. This meant that Danny would be ready for them when they arrived. Due to this Danny was able to kill lukas and the guy from spawn very easily while Jace, knowing what had happened, decided to rush throught the nether portal to respawn and get to Charles instantly. Coley was furious that they would stoop to such a low level and decided to greif their base despite being told not to before they departed.

Due to this boost in morale the UWP quickly gathered and declared war on charlesonia. They had finally come together for one common goal, the same goal that brought them together in the first place.

Jace was sure that they would counterattack immediatey and so he got everyone together at the nether portal, Trapped it, and told them to hit them until they break through and when they do that use ender pearls to retreat to Jagged's base where they would fight them from atop the hill. This attack never did happen though as the UWP instead elected to begin construction of their base directly on the spawn point.

## The End Race

Rodrii had at this point gathered all of the materials necessary to fight the ender dragon but was initially told to save them for a later date. After intercepting communications that made it seem as if the UWP was going to try and fight the dragon in order to make harming arrows Jace told Rodrii to get the pearls and join them on the hunt for the portal.

As it would turn out the UWP had no intentions of going to the end at this point as they didnt have the pearls necessary to do so.

The search for the portal led them to a stronghold without a portal meaning they would have to travel thousands of blocks out to find what they needed.

they feared that the UWP may have already found the correct stronghold due to the fact that they were so far away.

Eventually however the Charlesonians would find the Portal.

## World Council investigation

All members of the UWP had been kicked out of the World council after their decision to boycott S7 which was one of the major reasons the season ended when it did. because of this Jace had appointed Coley and Lukas as temporary fill ins and they were looking in to Barrier Breaker who was suspected of hacking. Due to the tension within the world at the time they couldnt simply hack check barrier without it stirring up too much controversy for them to handle and as such they needed a plan. They settled on giving Lukas creative on an alt which he would use to give himself invisibility and then he would kill barrier and check it for hacked items.

## The Night They Drove The UWP Down

Jace put the eyes of ender into the Ender portal and a loud boom let out across the whole of the world. Danny has since said that the boom was when he lost hope in the UWP due to the fact that Charlesonia now had as many harming arrows as they could ever need. The Charlesonians gathered up as much loot from the end as they could and returned home.

Before the Boom the UWP had been working on their base at spawn and were having an extremely difficult time dealing with the people there who would break their things and spam dirt all over the place. This made many such as stxrm and dylan, who Danny had turned to the UWP after there house got greifed, realize that the UWP was no better than Charles and was simply using them to acheive their goal leading to them abandoning the cause.

On that same day Jagged got into an arguement with his cousin LegitChamp who decided to make the trip to spawn to join the UWP afterwards. Despite being warned by everyone that the UWP would simply kill him if he went anywhere near their base he still went. He was then tortured by the UWP.

After the dragon fight Jagged told Jace about what happend to Legit Champ and Jace said that they needed to rescue him. They would make their way to Spawn armed with their harming arrows and all where they demanded that LegitChamp be set free. The UWP abliged due to the threat posed by the arrows and LegitChamp returned to Charlesonia with everyone else.

Whatever boost in morale that the failure of the mission gave the UWP, Charlesonia's aquisition of the harming arrows made it entirely pointless. The UWP was now uncertain that they could acheive their goal. This was only made worse when later that night the Council's plan was enacted and it was discovered that barrier was in fact using Dark Magic. In order to avoid a banishment he made a deal to give them the names of everyone he gave Dark Magic items to and what he gave them along with who knew he was using Dark Magic and didnt say anyhting. As it would turn out, most people within the UWP received Items from Barrier and some of them were even aware that he was a dark magician.

This led to a lot of the claims that Danny was hacking during "The Mission" being looked back on as more than just speculation by the majority of the world population and made the UWP, which was quickly gaining more members from charlesonia every day, look like a faction so dedicated to taking Charlesonia's place that they were willing to cheat to do it.

With everything crumbing around them the UWP was disbanded that same night.

## Unification

Now that the one thing that had stood in his way since the end of S7 was finally vanquished Jace was able to enact his plan that he had started plotting before the end of S7 with blocky. This plan was called Unification and was based on his Unification Theory stating that the factions of the world must come together for as long as possible in order to mend the wounds that S7 caused. This was supposed to be the way that S8 started however when bringing it to the UWP they said it was his attempt at a power grab and they refused.

Jace reformed the Republic and welcomed any faction in the world to join it. He was worried that the splinter groups that had popped up as a result of the UWP's fall would resist the change however they did not. Eventually both the 3 musketeers and the Luke Empire would join the Republic of Charles.

With the Unification of the world under the Republic of Charles the UWP Crisis finally came to a close however, its memory and the ideas behind it would cause charlesonia trouble for the remainder of the Cottoni era.
