## Overview

The Halloween War (*Also known as the Spaghettiest Uprising or War of October 31st*) was a day long conflict on October 31st 2021 caused by the October 2021 Crime Wave and the lack of proper Government response to it. The conflict was started by the Newly founded Polynesian Justice Coalition, a Millitant single issue organisation. The war resulted in a growth of support for the PLD that had recently fallen and hurt the chances of their rivals in the upcoming November 3rd Federal Election,

## History

### **Beginning**

The past few days before the war, The TSC () and The Redstone Foundation had become dominant criminal corporations on the Republic of Polynesia causing havoc in the Capital City of Port Royal, Constructing Weapons and Bizzare unexplained technologies around the Capital City. The government was unable to respond properly other than announcements when fighting or major crime broke lose as Prime Minister Belg and Deputy Prime Minister Sealand both had personal things to deal with. This made some players increasingly frustrated as Slash and Z5H2 were spawning in illegal items with their companies and then using them unfairly against normal players. (*Thorns 10, Knockback sticks, Deathswords, etc*) This would lead to the foundation of the Polynesian Justice Coalition by Player Spaghettio YT. Theyre first actions were destroying signs and banners of the Redstone Foundation. On October 31st Spaghettio talked to Prime Minister Belg and tempoarily made an alliance with Belg with them together leading forces to the TSC HQ were the Redstone Foundation had disbanded and Joined them, destroying cheated in items such as command blocks and stealing countless other items and griefing the base. However the RoP forces there would become increasingly distracted with the operation as ZH52, now the Intern (Deputy Leader) of the TSC would come online and they would joke together and activley agree with the RoP players. Culminating in them leaving the area and abandoning any further destructions. Using this active ignorance of the mission to his example, Spaghettio turned his back on the RoP and declared a coup of the RoP government with himself as the New Prime Minister of the RoP. He was enitially ignored before he Attacked and Killed Prime Minister Belg forcing the start of Negotiations. During these initial Negotiations, He was shot and killed as He pulled around swords in his inventory. This officially began the Halloween War.

### **End of the War**

The war ended at 15:49 GMT on the 31st of October 2021 with the signing of the Treaty of Port Royal by RoP Prime Minister Belg, The Treaty had already been signed 20 Minutes prior by Minister of State Security Sealand and the Leader of the Polynesian Justice Coalition, Spaghettio YT. Spaghettio agreed to peace following his defeat at the Battle of Port Royal, His second defeat in the war. Spaghettio had been able to knock out multiple RoP fighters due to superior armour, an issue that was admitted by the RoP following the Battle of Parliament in an update to civillians. Spaghettio was stumped by Sealand in a duel along the river in Port Royal where he was finally shot by Sealand Whilst attempting to hide behind a tree. Spaghettio travelled back to Port Royal soon after using the sea connections from his home base of Circhester to Port Royal to his advantage. He arrived without armour on and peacefully negotiated his terms. Both his terms were rejected by the RoP with Prime Minister Belg saying *"Treason is not rewarded".* The treaty of Port Royal was then finally agreed too with all 3 signatures needed. Spaghettio was arrested following the battle and stayed for his full sentence.

### **Who Won the war?**

The war was officialy won by the Republic of Polynesia, However they saw massive losses on their side and only won due to possible luck, and Superior tactics alongside better amounts of back up gear and having the advantage of numbers. The war showed how poorly enchanted the RoP Armys armour was compared to private individuals and the war could of spelt disaster for the Republic of Polynesia had the coalition been more popular, Since the Coalition had made themselves unpopular with Slash and Z5H2 for fighting against their organisation and also unpopular against die hard republic supporters for starting the war, Spaghettio had created a very narrow support base for his organisation, Possibly costing him the war.

## Each Faction

### The Polynesian Justice Coalition

The Polynesian Justice Coalition was a millitant Single issue organisation with the single goal of forming a new government with a better Judicial system, Although it has been accused that in reality it was actually there to simply Put Spaghettio into power and to allow his companies to profit from his own millitary Government. The Coalition attracted support from newer players during the war who used the conflict as an opportunity to cause chaos which played into the hands of the Coaliton as the government was forced to fight whilst also dealing with issues of theft and minor griefing especially in the Capital City which became rife with crime during the Battles and in-between them.

### The Republic of Polynesia

The RoP millitary was a sizeable but poorly armed force made up of around 7 Soldiers at most. However these soldiers were unable to be called upon at any given moments notice due to timezone issues and also personal situations that were rife throughout the Polynesian high command during the attacks, Allowing them to be extra hard hitting. Alongside this prior to the outbreak of war, The ruling Polynesian and Liberal Democrats had seen Two splits lower down its membership with the formation of the Monarchist Front and the Liberal Progressive Parties respectivley. This had caused lower support for the party as they were now seen as unstable despite large popularity of the party previously. It also didnt help that campaign season was in full swing in the RoP meaning many were fully focused on that rather than a possible outbreak of War. The Minister of Finance at the time, Jeffrey was inactive completley forcing the DPM and the PM to take on the jobs of the Finance Minister also making planning a war harder than it normally could of been such as during the Circhester War of Independence, Fought under the Same Government.
