Pultria Crisis

The Pultria Crisis was a major geopolitical crisis caused by the expansionist policies of Pultria. It began when Pultria declared war on Synbio, and ended with the Battle of Petroselinum.

The Pultria-Lost Wood Incident and Synbio's Dissolution
On June 28 at 12:55 AM CST, Gwen127 from the town of Lost Wind in Synbio posted a photo of graves created for the "victims of slavery" of Pultria that died under King chickenprism's rule. However, because neither Gwen nor chickenprism clarified that the "slaves" were actually chickens, the other leaders of Alathra believed that the slaves were other players, causing a public outrage against chickenprism. As the day wore on, accusations flew with chickenprism charging Gwen127 with intentionally slandering Pultria and even sending death threats, though none of these claims were substantiated.

Nonetheless, these tensions came to a head when chickenprism declared war on Lost Wind at 1:15 AM CST. However, in order to deny Pultria of a war, at 4:23 PM CST, Gwen127 decided to disband Lost Wind, and with ConacoGaming and NaaMannnn's help, disbanded the nation of Synbio altogether to join the FCA. Furious, King chickenprism traveled to Lost Wind At 9:15 PM CST to demand that the FCA hand over the town. There, he was met by Prime Minister spiceymonkey1349 and Sir 0utFoxxed of Uhovia, fully prepared to drive him out by force. Eventually, Chancellor Cody29797 was forced to intervene, entering a private conference with King chickenprism.

There, the two parties reached a compromise: King chickenprism would give up his claim of Lost Wind in exchange for being allowed to build an outpost on a nearby hill to the south. While neither side was truly satisfied with the compromise, it was enough to avoid open conflict.
