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, the unbanning of BonZZil_, a prominent Anti-Cascadian, 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. It was a purely defensive war for Cascadia, with most of their actions being protecting their claims and towns from upcoming Overclaim operations by Wagner Group. 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 Astoria, and a single chunk of Chaeronea that had been overclaimed by Wagner Group.

The climax to the war was on New Year's Day, or Day Zero, with tensity and escalation occurring throughout the weeks before. Most of the fighting during this period was composed of a smear campaign, poaching[Writer's Note: May not be true, will do research] and minimal pvping, as Overclaim had not been added yet. | The climax to the war was on New Year's Day, or Day Zero, with tensity and escalation occurring throughout the weeks before.

BonZZil_ was unbanned during this time, who would go on to become a major enemy of Cascadia until his eventual reban mid-2024. | ||
On the Cascadian side, most of their actions composed of preparing their territory for Overclaim, now going significantly quicker through the process due to the war declaration. [Writer's Note: The rest of this paragraph is technically classified information despite it all happening a year and a half ago, I will go through the larp bullshit necessary to get it declassified] | On the Cascadian side, most of their actions composed of preparing their territory for Overclaim, now going significantly quicker through the process due to the war declaration.

On the Wagner side, they were primarily focused on preparing for a campaign to overclaim Cascadia, planting Overclaim towns near vulnerable Cascadian towns and preparing existing invader towns such as Bakhmut to overclaim neighboring Cascadian towns. This is where one of the only two territorial successes on the side of Wagner happened, in which 8set sniped the town of Seaside, a section of what is now Astoria, which conveniently bordered the Cascadian capital of [[Olympia]]. Alongside this, they also lashed out with a massive smear campaign, accusing Cascadia, usually falsely. This was through a few fronts, one being accusing Cascadia of being a dictatorship, citing the October 2023 elections, in which they claimed [[SayerQT]] rigged it against Flatvent_One, though this was unfounded. Another was through accusing Cascadia of being a "scam nation" or "nation of scammers", citing primarily the Hanse Library Robbery, which had been committed by Cascadians. However though, the government had not been involved in the operation, and actively went through the efforts of getting as much of the stolen items back as they could. A last one was accusing Cascadia of being a pedophile ring, using the aforementioned false rumors from North_Paso. All three of these was used with mild to moderate success of temporarily damaging Cascadia's reputation. | On the Wagner side, they were primarily focused on preparing for a campaign to overclaim Cascadia, planting Overclaim towns near vulnerable Cascadian towns and preparing existing invader towns such as Bakhmut to overclaim neighboring Cascadian towns.

Some things that could fall under Wagner's smear campaign could include the Anti-Cascadia League and the International Court of Justice. The former was an incident occurring between EmpressCorgo, the Treasurer at the time, and [[CDDragon4784]], the leader of the USSR and of the United Front, an alliance Cascadia was apart of. In it, EmpressCorgo joked in a public Cascadian discord channel about starting an Anti-Cascadia group to get donations from those who opposed the nation, scamming them. CDDragon4784 created a discord server known as the "Anti-Cascadia League", also in a joking matter. In response, North_Paso of Texas acted as if it were serious, and released a statement condemning Cascadia for supposedly conspiring to scam, and even confusingly declaring war on Cascadia a second time in a row. The other incident consisted of Wagner members founding an organization of the same name, purely to attempt to put Cascadia into a presumably rigged trial for supposed pedophilia, founded in those same rumors now proven to be false.[Writer's note: I can't tell if this ICJ is the one they created or one that they took over from the United Front, will confirm this later.] | |||

For the other side, the war was an overall defeat, as their gains against Cascadia were both minimal and temporary. All of the Wagner member nations with the exclusion of Texas went inactive, however some of the leaders of said inactive nations would consolidate in Texas and go on to fight in the [[Great American War]], including Karn4 of Chad and Bon_Kranch of Restored Cascadia. | For the other side, the war was an overall defeat, as their gains against Cascadia were both minimal and temporary.
