The Second Zealandian War was a conflict that began on July 23, 2024, following a series of disputes and killings between Zealandians and Havaikians.
History
Beginning
The Second Zealandian War began on July 23, 2024, subsequent to the emergence of rampant killings and disputes between two major Aotearoa nations, Zealandia and Havaiki. Reportedly, these attacks were instigated by the Havaikians The most significant attack in Gylieville by Thattreething14 was the central catalyst that sparked the beginning of the war.
First Atua Offensive
Soon after the war declaration, Zealandia initiated an offensive on Havaiki's capital, Atua. Through overclaim, the Zealandians were able to raid and claim a portion of the city (under the Zealandian town of Silverwood).
July 24 Raid / Atua Advances
The following day, on July 24, 2024, a raid on Atua began, resulting in more land being overclaimed. This led to half of Atua's capital building being taken over, along with the portion of Atua already captured prior.
Presence of Havaikian troops in Zealandian territory
Due to the active war and territory claimed from Atua, Havaikian troops were spotted patrolling around Zealandia frequently. Some camped outside towns, most notably Rakiura and Port Jason, while others simply wandered around the wilderness in pursuit of any Zealandian citizens, trying to lure them out from claims to kill them.
Fort Junta Attack
On July 27, 2024, Zealandian forces advanced to Fort Junta, beginning a brief standoff with the defending Havaikian troops. The confrontation concluded with the Zealandians launching an abrupt assault, which resulted in significant casualties. Five Zealandian troops were killed, whereas not a single Havaikian suffered any casualties.
Springsville's Havaikian Annexation
On August 3, 2024, the previously Zealandian town of Springsville was incorporated into Havaikian territory. This occurred after a group of Havaikians successfully convinced jojjct, the town's leader, to hand Springsville over to Havaiki.
Battle of Havingston
On August 3, 2024, the Battle of Havingston took place, stemming from an unanticipated Zealandian standoff. Of the approximately 7-9 people involved, 4 were Havaikian. The conflict resulted in the deaths of roughly 3-5 Zealandians, while only 1 Havaikian was slain (twice).
Unification Proposal
On August 3, 2024, the Zealandians came forward with a unification proposal. The matter was discussed at the Havaiki City - Port Haman border and on Discord. It was reviewed up until Bacon's departure, where it was ultimately denied by Havaiki in both a supreme vote and a later discussion with mooseguy65. Zealandia had conducted several votes during the review of the proposal, with Thattreething14 expressing a strong desire to lead the new nation. However, due to his controversial history, both Zealandians and Havaikians became increasingly apprehensive. The proposal itself was also rather controversial, as it was believed to have been brought up only to provide Zealandia with an easy way out of the war.
Zealandia's Downfall
Zealandia's downfall began when their king, Baconmayonaise1, resigned from EarthMC and relinquished his title to mooseguy65. Shortly after assuming power, mooseguy65 confessed to providing information-specifically vote results and chat history-to Zealandia's enemy, Havaiki. This discovery infuriated Baconmayonaise1 and ignited a series of disputes between him (and his closest affiliates) and mooseguy65, with him even threatening to return solely to dismantle Zealandia. The central issues brought up in these disputes were the idea that mooseguy65 should have transferred power to another individual and that Baconmayonaise1 himself had also shared information (vote results) with Havaiki. The weight of these claims, coupled with Zealandia's already unstable situation, ultimately led mooseguy65 to dissolve the nation on August 6.
Global Impact
No external powers were involved in the war.
Aftermath
After the war subsided, some Zealandians quit and the majority of Zealandian towns joined Havaiki.
