Malagasy War

The Malagasy War was a war fought on the 14th and 15th of March between the Dajiang-led coalition and the nation of Madagascar.

Prelude
Recently unbanned from the server, the nation of Madagascar was set up by the previous leaders of Indonesia and Antarctica, and they immediately started harassing multiple nations, by threatening anyone if they had a gunpowder farm. This aggressive attempt at monopolization of the gunpowder industry on the server saw multiple nations at war with Madagascar over the gunpowder trade, such as Parana, Mauri, and Maracaibo. Other nations were simply declared war upon by Madagascar or it's close ally Isis for "disrespecting" them, such as Nevingrad or Sagal.

On the days leading up to the war, Dajiang started to gather up as many allies as it could after the Battle of the Antarctic raised the alarm of Malagasy aggression across all of China, from Shanqu to Suirenzhen. The Battle of the Antarctic occurred on March 7th, when a mob farm being constructed by Shanqu leaders Tomad and skaltronx in unclaimed southeastern Antarctica was suddenly assaulted by the full Malagasy army. Quickly reinforcements from Dajiang Zhongguo and nations in its sphere like Mingren and Joseon arrived to backup the Shanqu. The Malagasy were repelled, but the farm was heavily damaged and the battle set off an alarm across all of Asia causing many to take an aggressive stance towards Madagascar, and began plotting war.

Zhongguo and Shanqu began amassing large reserves of tnt and weaponry to fight off Madagascar. Already Jae of Vinland had established a coalition against Madagascar four days before the war with other small nations and New Athens, until Dajiang, Shanqu, and Mingren joined on the 14th. War became inevitable after the Emperor of Zhongguo Sikorskiii promised to declare war on the next country Madagascar invaded.

Conflict
Vinland had been subject to verbal harassment and threats from Madagascar for many days leading up to the war. Madagascar had planned a full invasion of the North American country, envisioning it as swift and thorough like the war with Dubai the day before. Before the war however, as they were amassing their forces, 3BrosInc, a merchant in Dajiang Zhongguo, was killed by Shamski while he afk'd outside Suirenzhen. After it appeared in chat, quickly most Asian countries began to mobilize, assuming that they were the ones under attack. SoAss himself was spotted in the streets of Suirenzhen, and when attacked in retaliation for the killing of 3BrosInc, combat logged.

Despite now only having some of their forces in Vinland and the others pinned down in China, Madagascar declared war on Vinland. Soon after, Tomad, Sikorskiii, origami146, and Leldy of Shanqu, Dajiang, New Athens, and Joseon respectively declared war on Madagascar. All Malagasy almost immediately logged off once war was declared on them by the coalition members. Only some damage was inflicted on Vinland by the Malagasy and on Madagascar by Coalition forces, led by Tomad in Madagascar and Sikorskiii in East Africa.

The Malagasy would not log on for hours, instead option to use the discord to taunt and insult their opponents. When all coalition forces were off except for some Athenians, SoAss and Shamski got on. Tomad immediately got on to help the Athenians, but the two Malagasy logged off instantly in reaction.

During the middle of the night (3AM EST) the Malagasy assaulted Athens, as by then the only players awake were Athenian. Moderate damage was inflicted on the city, while an Athenian force bombed much of Fort Kiran in Madagascar. Shamski admitted that they had stayed up all night to get the drop on them.

Result
On the morning of March 15th, all of Madagascar was permanently banned due to repeated harassment and loopholing, abruptly ending the war. Dajiang then claimed the island of Madagascar and let people grief the fort if they wanted to.
