The '''Wagner War''' was a conflict from December 13th, 2023 to March 2024 between [[Aurora:Cascadia|Cascadia]] and multiple groups and nations under the coalition of [[Wagner Group]]. The war came about through the Osoyoos secession just a couple months before, rising tensions between Cascadia and Texas, and most of all, the upcoming update of [[Overclaim]] to be released on the advent of the new year. Most of the fighting happened through fighting over territory mainly through the new Overclaim update, and through PR, with Wagner Group in particular attempting to sway international opinion against Cascadia. The war was almost purely defensive for Cascadia, with the only offensive action taken on their side being the [[San Francisco Offensive of 2024]] at the very end of the conflict. By the time Overclaim had been added on New Year's Day, Cascadian leaders had already prepared the vast majority of their vulnerable towns for the upcoming update. As a result, the only territorial losses Cascadia received were the territorial atrophy of some towns, a section of what is now [[Aurora:Astoria|Astoria]], and a single chunk of [[Chaeronea]] that had been overclaimed by Wagner Group. The conflict is widely considered to be the predecessor to or even the start of the [[Great American War]], of which was fought by many of the same nations and people that fought in this war.

=== Operation LNCLAIM ===

~~''Main Article: [[Operation LNCLAIM]]''~~

Operation LNCLAIM was Cascadia's main defensive response to the Wagner War. It originally was simply Cascadia's response to Overclaim itself when it was first announced in April of 2023, without any particular threat in mind. However, very little progress was made in actually responding to it, though plans were made. Swamped with other duties, nobody actually picked up the operation, and the entire nation effectively procrastinated until the war's start, which acted as a wake up call. Immediately, many of the active and trusted members of Cascadia assembled to respond to Wagner's threat.

Most of the planning and coordination took place in a Discord group chat originally used for coordinating a defunct attempt at developing the town of Vancouver, which would later be known as the "Girlboss GC" within Cascadia after the war. Ironically, the group chat included Osoyans such as Flatvent_One prior to the war, who were now Wagner leaders. Major contributors to Operation LNCLAIM were [[Setrus]], EmpressCorgo, [[Akeboun]], [[EstiQT]], [[Raptormm4]], and [[Milgorn123]], among others. EstiQT was a major contributor to LNCLAIM, as she coordinated the splitting of all of Vancouver Island, alongside Setrus.

At the beginning of the war, most of Cascadia's core towns, including their capital [[Olympia]], were still very vulnerable to Overclaim, some by hundreds of chunks. Some non-core towns such as Chaeronea were also vulnerable to Overclaim, and they would also be covered in the operation. Towns of concern to Operation LNCLAIM include~~, but were not limited to~~:

At the beginning of the war, most of Cascadia's core towns, including their capital [[Olympia]], were still very vulnerable to Overclaim, some by hundreds of chunks. Some non-core towns such as Chaeronea were also vulnerable to Overclaim, and they would also be covered in the operation. Two main methods of reducing vulnerability were used, that being unclaiming and splitting, which involved unclaiming land and placing a town with a holder over said unclaimed land. This was possible because of EarthMC's grace period, where unclaiming land gave you a full refund. Towns of concern to Operation LNCLAIM include:

===Judgement Day===

Line 101:

Line 143:

North_Paso founded an organization of the name "International Court of Justice" on December 30th, likely to be a competitor to the United Front's organization of the same name, an alliance that Cascadia was a part of and close with. North_Paso's ICJ never took off, no record can be found on it outside of the announcement of it's establishment. Wagner members decided to instead infiltrate the existing United Front ICJ, leading to 8set becoming a judge. Then, on Judgement Day itself, Wagner members opened a trial against Cascadia for supposed sexual grooming, likely citing the aforementioned false rumors provided by Paso. Cascadia, not being a signatory of the United Front ICJ, refused to take up the trial for obvious reasons. Not long after and because of this incident, the United Front pulled out of the ICJ on January 4th, which made the entire organization effectively defunct.

Afterwards, not much action occurred between Cascadia and Wagner, with most events simply just being a continuation of Wagner's smear campaign and poaching attempts. Although this too would fade for the most part by the end of January, as Wagner's members gradually became less active and bystanders from neutral nations found the smearing to become increasingly more annoying and obsessive. The last action of the war occurred in March through the [[San Francisco Offensive of 2024]], where towns surrounding the town of San Francisco, part of the Restored Republic of Cascadia, partially overclaimed the town. This caused it's mayor, [[UnbatedAura|Unbated]], to go inactive on the server and leave the town to [[NFISH2021]], who would join the [[Aurora:North Sea Republic|North Sea Republic]] through San Francisco's ingame nation of ~~Norcal~~. The NSR would collapse several months later, and to this day San Francisco and Norcal remains in the hands of NFISH, under the nation of Illinois, which is now part of current-day Texas.

Throughout January, Paso would quarrel with [[TBI|The Blockbuster Insider]] over perceived bias against Wagner, Texas in particular. As a result, he created a thread dedicated to posting his own announcements in [[EarthMC Live|EMCL]], another news organization where he was a journalist. During the January 2024 elections in Cascadia, Wagner attempted to influence the elections by leaking the Google Form link used for voting, sending in their own votes through the form. While this was perceived as a victory on their end, none of the non-cascadian votes were actually counted due to the Cascadian verification system, requiring all voters to say they voted in a specified channel only citizens had access to.

Although this too would fade for the most part by the end of January, as Wagner's members gradually became less active and bystanders from neutral nations found the smearing to become increasingly more annoying and obsessive. On January 28, 2024, Paso announced that the Restored Republic of Cascadia would be renamed to the Grand Republic of Cascadia.
