Kaonashian-Hagstonian War

The Kaonashian-Hagstonian War, or the War of the Northern Ocean Alliance, is an ongoing military conflict between Kaonashia and Dogeanea and the Northern Ocean Alliance, which consists of Hagston and Koxor.

First Stage (30 April - 17 May)
The period from the declaration of war by Kaonashia against Hagston to Dogeanea's takeover of Zov 7K on the 17 May is known as the First Stage of the war.

Kaonashian Destruction
Soon after the declaration of war, Kaonashian troops - made up mainly of supernaturals such as fairies, dragons, etc. - began a rampage through southern Hagston and eastern Koxor, killing thousands, threatening over a billion and at one point "turning the sky red". In response to this, on the 12 May, Koxor set up the National Anti-Supernatural Defence System, which involved spikes in the ground to fend off dragons, coating bridges with iron, distributing sunglasses to citizens to combat the Mesmers of fairies, spraying lemon and lime juice in the air to combat fairies, giving the military silver bullets (to combat fairies and demons), distributing lots of cockerels to combat basilisks, and "doing something about the octopuses".

After Kaonashian forces swept through and occupied southern Hagston, President Tim Galek was evacuated to Sichong, where he spent the rest of the war for fear of being captured.

Dogeanea and the Matthuvan Union
On the 14 May, Dogeanea announced that they would join the war on Kaonashia's side "for the price of one election vote", which tipped the war in Kaonashia's favour. The same day, Koxor launched an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile at northern Dogeanea, killing over 375,000 people. On the 16 May, the Matthuvan Union joined the war on the Alliance's side, also threatening to launch an Inter-Planetary Ballistic Missile at Kaonashia or Dogeanea.

Occupation of the Solar System
In the morning of the 17 May, Dogeanea announced their occupation of both Zov 7K and Lleopra. Hagston quickly responded by taking back the planets and positioning Hagstonian and Koxori interplanetary battleships on them.

Phase III
On the 18 May, Koxor initiated Phase III of the Alliance's battle plan, in which the NOA's armed forces would push back at the supernaturals, which by then had been weakened. This push involved both Hagstonian robots and all of Koxor's remaining troops.

'The Incident'
On the same day as Phase III's announcement, an incident occurred in which Koxor, hoping to break down trust between Kaonashia and Dogeanea, announced that the latter had withdrawn from the war. In response to this, Dogeanea accused Kaonashia of fraud and announced their true withdrawal. However, this was false and Dogeanea, in fact, had been building up its interplanetary battle fleet.

Sinkholes
On the 19 May, it was announced that Dogeanea had dug several hundred sinkholes under Koxoriek cities and was willing to open them. However, Koxoriek spies, intercepting Dogeanea's plan, did the same under Dogean cities, leading to a situation reminiscent of a cold war, in which both countries threatened to take action but none was ever taken.

Koxoriek Battleships
Dogeanea's Cheems Express battlecruiser had long been feared in Laraniem, so after Koxor announced it had stolen the plans and recreated the ship, many politicians said that the war was beginning to tip in the Alliance's favour. My loyal citizens, this terrible war may be coming to an end! But please, do not give up fighting, for in due course, we will beat the supernaturals and we will do it bravely!

Nanobots and the Forcefield
On the 20 May, Dogean nanobots infused with nitroglycerine were found inside many Koxoriek troops. The same day, Dogeanea reactivated the forcefield that had been used in the Alien War and used it against Hagston.

Phase IV
On the 22 May, Koxor announced the initiation of Phase IV of the war, in which troops from all four countries in the NOA would surround and defeat the Dogean forces on Koprah, Zov 7K and Laraniem.

The Koxoriek peace offer and the withdrawal of Dogeanea
On the 29 May, Koxor offered Kaonashia and Dogeanea a peace treaty, hoping to end the war and spare thousands more lives. Kaonashia was willing to accept only if Hagston remained in the war. However, Koxor refused, with the head of the Ministry of Defence saying "[Koxor] will refuse to go through with the peace treaty unless Hagston is also considered in said treaty". Thus, the peace offer was withdrawn.

On the 1 June, Dogeanea officially withdrew from the war, saying that "Dogeanea will seal it's [sic] gate to the world until the war passes... we will retreat to the safety of the planets beyond and prepare and fortify our position". It is not known whether this was directly related to the previous failed peace treaty. The same day, Koxor launched an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (similar to the one launched at Dogeanea on the 14 May) at Kaonashia, also saying that "we have plenty more, enough to completely flatten Kaonashia four times if necessary".
