The Zealandia-Havaiki Secession also known as the Zealandia Independence War, is an ongoing conflict which began on May 29th, 2024. The conflict is oriented around Zealandia, a seceding nation based in Port Jason, a town previously governed by the Republic of Havaiki. Tensions continue to rise as external influences such as the OFN and affiliated nations like the Pilbaran Empire intervene.
History
Beginning
The conflict began on the 29th of May when the mayor of Port Jason (Baconmayonaise1) held an independence vote. When the results returned in favor of independence, Zealandia, a sovereign entity separate from the Republic of Havaiki was established. The split provoked the Havaikians, as deducible via their denunciation.
Battle of Atua
The Battle of Atua took place on the 2nd of June and was an attack by the Zealandians on Havaiki. An estimated peak of 15 players were involved in the clash, with an undocumented number of fatalities. The motivation behind the attack allegedly stemmed from a Havaikian who entered Zealandian territory and threw out insults.
Ceasefire
Following the Battle of Atua, a ceasefire was called, although it was later allegedly disregarded.
June 7th Pilbara Attack
The June 7th Pilbara Attack was an on-foot invasion of Zealandia by the Pilbarans. It began with 4 Pilbaran troops who likely ventured from the southern tip of Te Ika-a-Māui to New Plymouth, where a standoff between defending Zealandians and attacking Pilbarans began. The standoff eventually escalated into a short battle, ending with a reported 4 or 3 casualties for Pilbara and 1 for Zealandia.
Global Impact
Following the beginning of the war, nations such as Cascadia, Pilbara, The Himalayas and Laurentia expressed support for Havaiki, whereas Dian expressed it's support for Zealandia.
