## Overview

The Fourth Republican of Polynesian Civil War is a complex multi-sided millitary struggle that is currently ongoing in the Republic of Polynesia. Fought between multiple ideologically opposed sides it ended a golden age of science and technology in the Republic of Polynesia and has become described as a seemingly "untrackable" conflict as multiple sides have dissolved, reappeared and allied with and against each other during the conflicts progression.

## History

### Beginning of the War

The Fourth Republic of Polynesian Civil War began due to a variety of factors that had been developing over the course of the period of science and technology that had proceeded the wars beginnings, One of these was the mass invitation of his personal friends by Woahtents to the server in order to bolster the numbers of his political party, the Conservatives. This new mass migration was compared to the Eurocraft diaspora in terms of the mass huge numbers of new influential players it brought onto the server.

The final tipping point for the war to begin was when Belg told parliament that the small town Ronesia that had been built by the new players invited by Woahtents with help from other newer players such as Ash who had went onto become the Deputy Prime Minister had a major insurgent population, Sealand and Belg were refused permission by Ash acting as Deputy Prime Minister to investigate and so entered anyway without government permission leading to a stand off between Belg and Sealand acting as the RoP Army against Ash, Walter White and the Ronesians. Half way through the stand off Belg and Sealand lost hope with Ash and Walter White and decided to plot against the government, declaring the new Minecrafitist Republic of Polynesia and storming the parliament building.

With this announcement, Woahtents declared Ronesian independence and lead a small force into Wicklow to burn down homes. The attack would be the first open fight in the war and would leave the MROP in a place of power as they were the ones to defeat the Ronesians rather than the RoP, When the RoP Forces did arrive they were overwhelmed by the MROP and Deputy Prime Minister Ash was forced to flee Wicklow via an elytra, After this Sealand would claim the position of Prime Minister as Prime Minister Tom refused to act and would later flee Port Royal allowing for Sealand to take over the RoP. This would officialy start the conflict.

### End

The war concluded in proper with the leaving of the final resistance to Milans domination of the Republic of Polynesia - Jeffrey, Walter and Woahtents with Walter being the final to leave surrendering the last opposition to the new Milan controlled RoP as he fled Castlebrugh his leave would conclude the Great Exodus and begin a new period in Polynesian history known as the Post-Exodus Era. Despite this end of the conflict it would not last for long as Milan after winning the war would be forced out of the RoP Government to be succeeded by a now returned Walter, Despite this Milan would stay on the server itself and would continue to dominate the map without opposition from the RoP Government.

### Who Won?

The Fourth Republic of Polynesian Civil War is generally considered to have no winners, The original start of the war with the Ronesians, MROP and RoP was long forgotten by Day 3 of the war with the Kingdom of Polynesia, Kingdom of Castlebrugh, Housebruv millitants and Peoples Republic of Fishland forces now involved. But even after this period of the war ended to be suceeded by the Pirate Republic, Yellow Pirates, Christian Crusaders and then into the final era of barely recogniseable forces vaguely identified as either pro or anti Milan - Nobody won, Whilst Milan aligned forces were able to defeat an anti Milan coalition in battles in Hudson and Port Royal they not only lost cultural buildings such as the Savvy for the final time but they also lost there already slim public support and also triggered the great Exodus. Alongside this groups such as Ronesia, Castlebrugh and Fishland all never achieved their independence following the wars conclusion and both of the Pirate groups simmered out as the war shifted onto either Pro or Anti Milan lines. As for Competing RoP Factions such as the MRoP and KoP both dissolved days after their foundaiton and neither achieved any success.

## Sides Involved

### **First Phase of the War**

#### Republic of Polynesia

The Republic of Polynesia as a state were changing sides constantly throughout the war as its leadership changed drastically from Tom being otherthrown by the MROP to the MROP being other thrown by the KOP and then being under the control of the neutral Fatas during the wars final stages they were unable to maintain control which allowed for the war to be fought by the Anti and Pro Milan sides.

#### Minecraftist Republic of Polynesia

The MROP were the initial starters of the war, Lead by Sealand and Belg in order to end the power of Walter, Ash and Tom who they saw as supporting the suspected terrorist cell Ronesia which had been reported by parliament as a potential threat they defeated the RoP itself during a major confrontation in Wicklow during which the Ronesians took up arms to fight with the RoP against the MROP and in the process destroyed Wicklow leading to the RoP accepting defeat to the MROP as the Ronesian threat became too large allowing for the MROP to sieze power.

#### Empire of Polynesia

The Empire of Polynesia, which had been previously ran by Fatas and had collapsed only a month prior appeared again as Sealand who had been installed as Prime Minister by Belg when they decided to make the new government began to falter when it came to new policy as Belg wanted to create a brand new two party system focused around real mincecraftist politics whilst Sealand wanted to firstly end the war before and bringing peace and stability before any major policy reform, This lead to Belg reforming the Empire of Polynesia with himself as King and briefly rivaling the RoP for dominance as Sealand was unable to come online and had to rely on guerilla fighters to fight against the Eop. Despite this early support Belg became dissoloutioned with the project after talks with Sealand leading to his abdication to be suceeded by Fatas who then disbanded the state as they lost further territory to the now stronger and reunfied RoP.

#### Kingdom of Castlebrugh

The Kingdom of Castlebrugh at the start of the Fourth Civil War had been seen as an inevitable reformation after Toms removal from power and as such upon its recreation the RoP Government under orders from Prime Minister Sealand had Republican fighters Walter White and Polarr destroy the city of Castlebrugh, In response Tom would flee and would later unofficialy abandon the state when he became leader of the Pirate Republic. After leaving his position as Prime Minister Sealand would lead a coup of Castlebrugh and turn into an anarchist state with plans of using it if anything went wrong in the RoP during the war under Prime Minister Fatas, However as the war began to change into gang violence mainly Sealand would sell the state to Walter White for 2 British Pence, White would make multiple reforms in the state with him becoming its final King and holding the servers first royal wedding since the marriage of King Cosmic and Zee during the Republic of Polynesias consitutional monarchy era, Whites Castlebrugh refusing to surrender to keep his nation alive and Fatas not wanting to bother him as White was a key ally if any conflict between Milan took place with the RoP kept the war officialy going whilst the Pro-Milan and Anti-Milan forces continued fighting each other. Castlebrugh officialy aligned themselves with the Anti-Milan side of the war and Walter fought in some of the wars final battles before he would flee as part of the great exodus.

#### Republic of Ronesia

The Republic of Ronesia were the original issue that started the war, Ronesia was the brainchild of Woahtents and he wished for it to be a new force in the server acting relatively independently from the rest of the RoP for most of its lifespan as a town inside of Polynesia before they would attempt to split off as the Republic of Ronesia. Ronesia had been consistently criticised by many of the servers older players who viewed the new generation of players that Woahtents had brought in with great suspiscion believing they did not understand the server and solely wished to "ruin" it by creating their own nation this was only amplified by the Ronesians making their own flags and refusing to allow the RoP army entrance. When the MROP declared the otherthrow of the Government, Ronesia attacked Wicklow in a pre-planned attack taking advantage of the situation to gain independence, Whilst the attack failed they were able to damage RoP morale straight from the start. Ronesias forces would be defeated in a series of battles taking place across the area of Spawn and Fishland concluding in a final chase outside of Plains Reach in Fishland in which Woahtents was killed, with him being the final Ronesian on the run after Alex3333 had already been defeated it would end their primary role in the conflict over than minor skirmishes that would follow in the coming days. After their defeat Ronesia the town would be bombed repeatedly in revenge attacks by the RoP throughout the war.

#### Peoples Republic of Fishland

The Peoples Republic of Fishland had already existed as a state formed by Cosmic on the Fishland of the Season 8 map and Woahtents had reformed the nation in order to continue a war against the Republic of Polynesia and more specfically his personal fights with the Housebruv commune who at the time were flipflopping between supporting the Republic of Polynesia and fighting all sides on their own, his announcement of its refounding came on the 15th or April and the state would be forced into an agreement with the MROP controlled ROP into rejoining on the same day, However the deal the RoP reached with the state allowed Fishland to continue as a semi independent state with Woahtents ruling as Chairman, replacing Cosmic who had built the city. The following day a group of self declared Pirates would attack Fishland in a large raid destroying the city and following their success declaring the Pirate Republic with Woahtents then persuing the Pirates to their base under his new terrorist group the Christian Crusaders which would be denounced by the RoP leading them to perform a millitary operation in Fishland to stop the Christian Crusaders organisation, In response to the RoP millitary presence in Fishland and the denounciation of the Christian Crusaders, Woahtents would once again declare the refounding of Fishland although after a battle and stand off a treaty would be signed yet again ending Fishlands existence,

#### Pirate Republic

The Pirate Republic were founded out of a leadership position left intentionally vacant by Belg in his pirate crew which he had used as a way of attacking multiple sides of the war as he had viewed them as making uneeded destruction across the server, This vacant leadership position would be filled by Tomoop who had been in and out of various positions during the war and had been wanting a higher position to take control of the war and the RoP by extension after his removal from Prime Minister on the same day. Belg would leave the crew after this and solely work on the base of Tortuga from this point, The Pirate Republic would be denounced by multiple groups under Tomoops leadership and started a conflict with the Christian Crusaders who destroyed tortuga alongside a secondary pirate crew simply called Spags crew lead by Spag. After this the group would disband and this would end up being Tomoops last head of state position on the server, All remaining members of the Pirate Republic would go onto become part of the Anti-Milan forces as the second phase of the war commenced making a noticeable

#### Christian Crusaders

The Christian Crusaders were founded by woahtents in response to the activities of the Pirate Republic and were a small terrorist group that worked from the inside of the RoP, being basically legally protected as it was led by a RoP Government official, Polynesian historians see the formation of the Christian Crusaders as the point in which the war became less about the politics and more about the people who ran the other groups. The Christian Crusaders would participate in two battles over their time, First destroying Tortuga with Spags Pirates and then fighting the RoP Army after they arrived in their base at Fishland leading to Woahtents declaring Fishland independent again, After this the group would disband although would be succeeded in use by the group Anti Trans Action lead by Enrique, a transphobic group meant to be a personal insult to player Milan.

#### Spags Pirates

Spags pirates were a group made lead by Spag to counter the Pirate Republic lead by Tom, they would only participate in the battle of Tortuga alongside the Christian Crusaders although they would oppose the Crusaders and would actually go on to fight against the Christian Crusaders with the RoP when they went to Fishland to defeat them. Spag was not interested in the war however and simply wanted to avenge what he saw as Toms forceful take over of Belgs group.

#### Anti-Trans Action

Anti Trans Action was a inactive terror organisation formed to counter the terror group STHP (Satanist Trans Hegemony of Polynesia) lead by Milan, the ATA were seen as the successor of the Christian Crusaders based around the same demographic on the server, the ATA was formed and lead by Enrique until Enrique left the server, They offiicaly participated in no battles but held influence on the server. There status as a transphobic group was done as a way to personally hurt Milan, The groups lack of actual activity allowed them to go under the radar of the RoP Millitaries crack down on groups like them as they had done with the Crusaders.

#### Satanist Trans Hegemony of Polynesia

The Satanist Trans Hegemony of Polynesia were a terrorist organisation lead by Milan as a split off from the RoP army. Its formation greatly damaged what the RoPs capabilities could be as an armed forces and restricted them to purely a peacekeeping group. The formation of the group is also seen as what would become the start of the Pro-Milan forces on the server. main actions of the group were to destroy Enriques personally owned church, The group would become the first to also be put on trial for an attack like this and Milan would be arrested ending the groups activities as by the time of their escape from prison aided by Sealand who had joined the group as a helper in order to become closer to Milan and to oppose Polynesian christianity the war had become Pro-Milan and Anti-Milan,

### **Second Phase of the War**

#### Pro-Milan Faction

The Pro-Milan faction is the historically given name for those fighting on the side of Milan from what is considered to be the Second Phase of the War, That being from the Election of Prime Minister Fatas on April 18th 2022 to April 24th 2022 when Milan took over the government of the Republic of Polynesia allowing them to re enter the war and capture Castlebrugh concluding the war. The Pro-Milan side was made up of a collection of players on the server who were against players like Woahtents and Enrique and as such stood by Milan creating a divide in the server as people either preferred milan to enrique and woahtents new radical right wing or totally despised Milan for their behaviour. The size of the Pro-Milan faction during the war was often overinflated and can actually be brought down to much lower than originally thought as rather than having lots of regular players like the Anti-Milan side had the Pro-Milan side was mainly made up of the hyperactive Milan often acting alone or with the help of Sealand and Spaghettio who together, Mainly with Sealand as Spaghettio would actually leave the faction prior to Milans victory would comprise almost all of the factions activity.

#### Anti-Milan Faction

The Anti-Milan faction grew out of two distinct groups on the server, The Christian right, in the form of the Fatherland Front political party and military groups like the Christian Crusaders and Anti Trans Action as well as more liberal sides who opposed Milans behaviour on the server, These people were comprised of noteable figures such as Belg and Tom. The Anti-Milan faction was backed by the Kingdom of Castlebrugh as the war progressed which was lead by King Walter White which gave the faction more respect that it previously could of had without it. The faction was much larger than the Pro-Milan faction and had they had continued fighting rather than performing the great exodus they could of defeated the Pro-Milan forces.

In response Sea and Belg would form the Minecraftist Republic of Polynesia and launch an invasion of Port Royal declaring its capture with no reaction even from Deputy Prime Minister Ash who was online at the time, This event would be seen as the first of many major issues that would occur during the war of some of the servers newer players who for them this would be their first war being at times unresponsive to attacks as they werent announced on the discord.
