The '''Pultria Crisis''' was a major geopolitical crisis caused by the expansionist policies of Pultria and the First Icesteel Empire. It began when Pultria declared war on [[Synbio]] on June 28th, and ended with the Battle of Petroselinum, now known as [[Kaer Nevura]].
 
==Background==
Line 76:
Inevitably, Pultria and Icesteel's advances on the continent of Koganon drew the ire of the anti-colonialist leader of Kogongu, Vasya. On June 30th, the normally pacifistic leader threatened to declare war on the expansionist nations, stating: "The Kogongi people are not violent, it is true. But we have been moved to violence."
 
Emperor AlphaSpade countered Vasya by pointing out herKogongu's recent annexation of Bal Duran, a sacred mountain to the northwest of Kais Kogong. Vasya responded by rationalizing that the annexationreclaiming of a nearbyholy areasite was vastly different from Pultria "crossing the world in order to expand their borders." Beyond that, Vasya was living in exile at the time of said annexation. After this searing indictment, even Grandpa_Boob, an outspoken supporter of Pultria and Icesteel, admitted, "Vasya_ out here spitting bars."
 
Soon, the mesa city-state of New Reno followed suit and declared war on Pultria, pledging to support Kogongu as well as Brittania Bay.

===Battle Plans===

For the upcoming battle, Chancellor Cody29797 was placed in charge of organizing the defense of Petroselinum. He decided to place the majority of the 11 FCA troops under his command along with the rest of the alliance at the southern side of the island, where a large ice floe would enable an easy crossing for chickenprism's forces. Covered by the thick spruce trees dotting the coastline, the alliance archers could pepper the attackers with arrows while facing little retaliation. The reserve troops would remain in the center of the island, ready to respond in case chickenprism decided to launch a surprise attack from another angle. Cody's overall strategy going in to the fight was to end the war as quickly as possible by driving off chickenprism's forces and then laying siege on Savage Crow until chickenprism surrendered.

===The Battle Begins===

Chancellor Cody's forces lined up on the northern side of the ford, while chickenprism attacked from the south.]]On July 1 at around 1:50 PM CST, the two armies met at the ford between Petroselinum and Koganon. Before the battle began, there were reports of FCA troops firing at Pultria, violating the strict deadline agreed upon by both sides. Nonetheless, the battle still began as planned at 2:00 PM CST.
 
On the north side of the ford, the alliance forces were able to take cover behind the thick spruce trees which dotted the coastline and fire on the attackers without much retaliation. On the other hand, the attacking Pultria troops were forced to advance across an open snowy plain as well as the large ice floe in the river, leaving them exposed to enemy fire.

== The Treaty of Anchridge and Aftermath ==

After the battle, chickenprism stepped down as leader of Pultria, disgraced by his overwhelming defeat, and appointed Devox_Runehart as his successor, moving to Lothridge after Grandpa_Boob offered him asylum. Chancellor Cody, Devox_Runehart, and several others from the alliance and Pultria met first in Kais Kogong, then in the Kongongi town of Anchridge, founded by the former leader of Lost Wood, Gwen127. There, the two sides discussed the terms of the treaty ending the Pultria War.
 
The terms of the Treaty were as follows:
Line 121 ⟶ 125:
 
=== The FCA's Reorganization ===
Despite the aliiancealiance's overwhelming victory, both sides, especially Hargreevs of Konganon, criticized the FCA's preemptive attacking and excessive use of force during the Battle of Petroselinum, especially when it sieged Savage Crow despite the battle being over. This was partly caused by a lack of communication between the higher and lower levels of the FCA military due to Cody29797 being the sole commander of the FCA's forces. Without generals and officers to assist with communicating to the troops, the FCA was unable to reignrein in its soldiers before they attacked Savage Crow. Thus, after the battle, the FCA began the process of reorganizing its government, eventually ratifying a new constitution on July 3.
