Slavic-Egyptian War

The Slavic-Egyptian War was a conflict that took place on the 29th of November 2020. It was one of the consequential wars in the servers history. The conflict arose from disputes over Owning's leadership of the Balkans, the treatment of smaller, less powerful nations, and the Egyptians goals to install democracy to the empire. Although the number of combatants was relatively low (only 5 at its peak) the massive size of the nations involved turned this war into one of the most destructive the server has ever seen, as multiple cities were completely razed to the ground in fighting that took place as far north as Nevingrad and as far south as Cairo, along with every settlement that existed in-between. The actual fighting mirrored that seen in the Indonesian-Northern European War (However unlike the UTNE, the Slavic leader never got on during the war). The Slavic Empire had overwhelming numbers compared to the Egyptians, being potentially able to muster a force several times their number. It would have taken them time to muster all of these players, however, and against the advice of other players on the server at the time, the small group of Slavic players online did not log off and regroup, choosing to fight the Egyptians head on. This turned a war where they outnumbered their enemy into a battle where their enemy outnumbered them, and just as with the Northern Europeans before them, it was to be their fatal flaw. Egyptians employed offensive tactics such as Operation: Sunroof, which helped them win so quickly. The Egyptians destroyed every city they came across. As the defenders were unable to put up a fight against the attackers, Bulgaria and Neva seceded from the empire, with Bulgaria becoming an Egyptian vassal state. It seemed the empire was destined to collapse. Minor damage was dealt to Egypt, but overall the war still remained a decisive victory. Following the utter destruction of almost every Slavic city, the Slavic Empire collapsed, and the refugees fled to all corners of the globe. The highest ranking members of the Empire fled to Holland, perhaps the only nation which would be able to defend them from possible Egyptian aggression. However, most would not stay in Holland due to the country's staunch anti-toxicity rules.

Controversies
However, the Egyptian victory would be bittersweet, as less than a week later it was discovered that Egyptian Generals Vegatable and Nicksey had abused their staff powers (not in a way pertaining to the war). This would lead to the almost immediate decline of Egypt, as Vegatable was temporarily banned, Nicksey lost his staff permissions, and MintyMichael left the nation in disgust.

Despite the abuse, staff would decide that the war was still valid, and the Slavic Empire remained in the grave. (However, this would result in high-ranking Slavic officials leave Holland for the Gator Federation)
