The Iberian War

The Iberian War (Spanish: La Guerra Ibérica; Portuguese: A Guerra Ibérica) is an ongoing military conflict between Spain and Portugal. It was started when a small town in Galicia joined Portugal, with Portugal refusing to remove it. Spain declared war on the 6th of November, 2019. Since then the conflict hasn't ended yet.

Background and development

Spain and Portugal were both in a defensive alliance called the Iberian Pact to protect Iberia from future enemy threats. The friendship between the 2 countries grew to the point where Portugal decided to support Spain and the Triumvirate during the Second Great War.

Everything seemed fine until a Portuguese citizen decided to make a town in southern Galicia, a Spanish region. This town was past the border between Portugal and Spain. At first, the town joined Spain, but on the 3rd of November, he decided to leave and join Portugal. Spain didn't not tolerate this as Portugal was now holding lands in Galicia, breaking their border treaty.

Portugal refused to remove the town, which led Spain to also plant one. That day ended up with a small battle between the 2 nations at the Spanish planted town, with a Spanish victory. 2 days later Spain sent a final ultimatum demanding the Portuguese to withdraw and restore its former border with Spain. Portugal put out a referendum to its citizens and most of them voted to stay 'strong and not give up'. Spain saw this and officially declared war on Portugal on November 6th, 2019.

The war between Portugal and Spain

After the Spanish declaration of war, the Portuguese chancellor lanorro got banned for fly hacking. The German Empire and the Regional Powers, already enemies of Spain, announced their support for Portugal in the war, but only received some support from the Regional Powers. Throughout the war many battles were fought across the peninsula, one of the first ones being the Battle of Abrantes. Portugal recruited a lot of players which then were given 64 gold to plant a town in Spain and join Portugal. Some of these players were alts. There were also many spy accounts in each others Discord servers to get information.

The banning of Portugal

Due to Portugal planting more and more 1 chunk towns around Spain, the war started to get in their favour. However, expert (the Portuguese leader) sent an IP grabber link to 32Penguns spy account in the Portuguese Discord, giving him, r0das, MrMan2005, and probably more people his IP. Pengun reported this to the mods, and the 3 of them got perm banned with their appealing attempts getting denied. After the fall of Faro it was also found out that Portugal had duped gold. Later on it was even found out they collaborated with a lanorro alt.

Portuguese decline

Since then, the 1 chunk towns planted around Spain from Portugal slowly started falling to the point where they all fell and the war turned to the defensive position against them. Popular opinions about Portugal also went down as it was declared a rebel nation in the anti-rebel pact of Britain, France, Spain, and the GRE. The Portuguese king has since then sued for peace demanding the original borders to be restored.
