The Second Micronational War on Terror or the Micronational Coalition against Terror was the continuation of the original Micronational War on Terror, which itself was part of the War on Terror. The Second War was declared by the Sprinske Empire, quickly followed by the Principality of Kaetania, and the Great Empire of Gamerland within a few hours. Unlike the previous war, there is no fighting with macronational terrorists, but micronational terrorist groups are the primary focus.
On 24 August 2022, Sprinske declared the war following a coup threat. The early stages of the war saw other micronations join. On 29 August, fighting began when Sprinske launched an offensive towards Yeltsingrad (now Gorbachevgrad). After the battle Slivuna entered the war then declared war on Kaetania and Gamerland, two major battles ensued. After more Micronations joined the war, the BDA surrendered on the 5th. Immediately after Slivuna renewed offensives in Kaetania, Gamerland responded by launching an invasion on all fronts. The Treaty of Khanenro giving them territories. Slivuna nearly won on their front, but due to some Arazanian citizens sabotaging their army, Kaetania and Gamerland were able to defeat them.
On the 21st of September, Aaron I held an economic experiment to the value of Sprinske Delta, but they made the mistake of accidentally giving money to the Mafia Republic, after the Mafia Republic announced that they would crash the Sprinske currency. After an economic depression began, a war followed after Alba Nuadh was informed. At the same time PanterBlue launched a revolt against ValeVRG, then after the Battle of Area 91 occurred, dissolving the group and making it a community.
Oh the 3rd of October, Sprinske held a referendum if to leave the war or not. By the 5th, no one had voted to stay in the war due to it’s cost, so Sprinske withdrew from the war. Later on the 7th, Slivuna would launch an invasion on Gamerland and Keatenia, but after being held off, their entire mainland was carved up, in return for Gamerland and Keatenia to withdraw, ending the war.
Prelude
The roots of the Second Micronational war on Terror can be traced back to the First Micronational War on terror. After the wars end in 2013, many people were against the ideas of a new Micronational war on terror due to the physical fighting. With the introduction of Discord in 2015, people could communicate quicker and the shape of Micronational conflicts shifted from real combat to cyber combat.
In 2018 the Kolniari Sector was created with the establishment of the Republic of Donkrea in 2019, following that the Sprinske Communist Republic was created. But instability plagued the nation by October 2020, leading to the Banana Uprising by Marxtown rebels. But after skirmishes on October 27, King Zachary I took power. But 2 days after, the Prime Minster, Aaron I sold plastic cutlery which was illegal, he lead a Revolution then started the Sprinske Civil War. Finally ending with the Treaty of Rio De Sprinske on 17 August 2022. Dissolving the Sprinske Communist Republic.[2]
In the days following the signing of the Treaty of Rio De Sprinske, the Sprinske Empire entered into a new crisis. The former Prime Minister, Masyn Maher, informed Emperor Aaron I that the Commander of the Army was planning to overthrow the government, and would make it look like the Prime Minister caused it, but when the Emperor asked the Commander who he believed was a traitor, he did not blame the Prime Minister and instead blamed it on the Chief of Secret Police. Führer Zachary of the People's Democratic Republic of Sprinske agreed to side with the Sprinske Empire and fight against the rebels, but on 24 August 2022, the Emperor told both suspects to present their cases in front of each other, and eventually, it was discovered that neither of them was a traitor, and the coup never actually happened.
Instead of a coup, the Emperor received a warning from an unnamed Micronational terrorist group that they were the ones causing trouble and threatening to overthrow the government, and the leader of the terrorists had vandalised the Sprinske Empire’s MicroWiki Page a few days earlier. In response, the Emperor declared the Second Micronational War on Terror.
Timeline
The war began on 24 August 2022 following the terrorist group’s warning, the Emperor of Sprinske also decided to declare war on them, along with macronational terrorists such as the Taliban who had recently taken control of Afghanistan, and the Islamic State, both of them considered to be radical terrorist groups, but there would be no direct fighting with them unlike the first war. The terrorist organisation that had attacked the Sprinske Empire would become known as the BDA (Bomb & Destruction Administration), and they were planning to overthrow the governments of both the Sprinske Empire and the People's Democratic Republic of Sprinske and turn them into communist nations, despite the PDRS already being communist, but the BDA seen them as traitors for allying with the Sprinske Empire[3]
Other nations join the war
A few hours after the war was declared, the Principality of Kaetania decided to join the war on the side of the Sprinske Empire, along with the Great Empire of Gamerland. On 25 August 2022, Emperor Aaron I met with the Führer of the People's Democratic Republic of Sprinske to discuss the war, and after 15 minutes of negotiations, the People's Democratic Republic of Sprinske decided to join the war, as the BDA also threatened them. On 26 August 2022, it was discovered that the BDA had recruited some members of the Sprinske Empire’s government, including the Prime Minister, Matteo Catania. In response, Emperor Aaron I declared an ‘Emergency Dictatorship’ to temporarily dissolve the government until 28 August 2022, and take full control to prevent the Prime Minister and other spies in the government from causing more damage. On 27 August 2022, the InterMicronational Assembly voted that they would join the war, as they where strongly against Islamic Terrorists. The nations being The Lihohian Peoples Republic and the Awhana Islands. On 27 August 2022, Republic of ValeVRG starts to supporting the Sprinske Empire and allies. On 28 August 2022, Intercontinental Republic of the Americas and the First Empire of Ikerlàndia receives a notice from ValeVRG and starts supporting.
Battle of Yeltsingrad
On 29 August 2022, the Sprinske Empire and the People's Democratic Republic of Sprinske began a campaign to get rid of the BDA in North Kolniari, especially in one of the Sprinske Empire’s major cities, Yeltsingrad. They meticulously planned the assault down to the last detail, and even some backups in the event that the main plan failed. The Sprinske Empire brought the new ‘Sting MK1’ to the battlefield, a simple medium-ranged artillery piece made from paper and elastic that fires a small paper projectile that causes a stinging sensation when it hits its target, hence the name. Sting MK1’s seemed like they would bring a lot to the battle, so the PDRS were also supplied with them just before the battle started.
The plan was that the Sprinske Empire would use deception tactics to make the BDA think that they would charge directly up the hill, but in reality, they were going to go through the bushes and hit them from behind. The PDRS would go around the back of the bushes and also hit the BDA from behind. When the battle commenced, it turned out to be nothing like what was originally planned, and turned to chaos as the Sprinske Empire tried to go through the bushes, but they had grown so much that it would be impossible to get through them, so they had to abandon the initial plan and instead were forced to charge directly up the hill.
The People's Democratic Republic of Sprinske had successfully taken most of the BDA’s southern claims, and began heading north to meet with the Sprinske Empire’s army and defeat the terrorists. When they arrived in Yeltsingrad, they expected to see the Sprinske Empire’s army waiting to attack from the bushes, but instead seen them clashing with the BDA in a very disorganised fashion, they had even left most of the Sting MK1’s in Rio De Sprinske, and only a single Sting MK1 was used in the battle, but eventually it got lost in the bushes, leaving Emperor Aaron I and some of the army looking for the weapon, eventually just giving up on it and going back to battle.
About 2 hours later, following a temporary truce for both sides to have lunch, the BDA organised a terrorist attack on the People's Democratic Republic of Sprinske, with their main target being Führer Zachary. There were at least 7 assassination attempts on him during the attack, but all of them failed, and eventually, he was able to rally the rest of his army and defeat the terrorists. Meanwhile, the Sprinske Empire were successfully pushing the BDA back, and began targeting their leader. Eventually, a large amount of the organisation’s members switched sides, including a Former Prime Minister of the Sprinske Empire.
The battle ended in victory for the Sprinske Empire and People's Democratic Republic of Sprinske as most of the BDA had already surrendered, with only their leader still active despite his claims that the organisation still had more members and was planning another attack very soon. The next day, Yeltsingrad was renamed to Gorbachevgrad after Mikhail Gorbachev’s death.
Battle of Khanenro
On 30 August 2022, only a day after the Battle of Yeltsingrad, the Republic of Slivuna joined the war on the side of the terrorists and claimed territory in all of the nations involved. Slivuna then declared war on Kaetania and Gamerland, and the battle took place near the Kaetanian mainland. Slivuna won the battle and managed to take some land from both nations, but they plan to retake these territories and turn the tides of the war on that front.
Battle of Vansad City
A day after the Battle of Khanenro, Kaetania and Gamerland conspired against Slivuna to take back the nations' territories. The battle was about 30 minutes and the victory was given to Kaetania and Gamerland.
The battle started out slowly at first, given the fact that both sides had come up with the idea to hide then attack (they both thought the other side would be charging up one of Kaetania's hills). After about 3 to 4 minutes, Slivuna decided to attack first using the same style smoke bombs[citation needed] Kaetania used against Lazil in the Kaetanian Civil War.
The Gamerian Imperial Army (GIA) made devices similar to the Sting MK1 featured in the Battle of Yeltsingrad. They were named "Sting MK2" since it was the second Sting MK1. The Sting MK2 projectiles had been cut more finely to create the stinging, but to also give the target a papercut that would sting internally.
The battle ended almost 25 minutes later, with almost every soldier participating in the battle having at least 2 papercuts. 6 soldiers (3 from Slivuna, 2 from Kaetania, and 1 from Gamerland) were mildly wounded from smoke bomb detonations and/or up-close Sting MK2 attacks .
The battle ended with Slivuna-occupied Kaetania being restored back to Kaetania, along with Gamerland's territory featured in the battles being returned as well. Gamerland was able to claim territory all around the Slivunan-American Border to the point where Slivuna was completely surrounded. Kaetania also got a somewhat heart-shaped territory in Southwest Slivuna.
On 2 September 2022, Ikerlàndia made a poll too, in Ikerlàndia the majority voted to enter fully in the war, in ValeVRG the majority voted to not enter, but if one of the nations enters the other enters together, the decision to enter or not will be taken by Ikerlandia, the leader of Ikerlàndia. on the 3 September Iker finally decided and ValeVRG and Ikerlàndia entered the war.
Treaty of Gorbachevgrad
On 5 September 2022, the BDA surrendered after a series of minor skirmishes. Their leader signed the Treaty of Gorbachevgrad, which forced the organisation to dissolve all branches of it. Following the signing of the treaty, Führer Zachary announced that the PDRS would withdraw from the war, but the Sprinske Empire decided to stay in the war until all fronts see victory.
Crisis at Lake Mikatu
On 5 September 2022, just hours after the BDA surrendered, Slivuna launched a naval invasion of Kaetania. Lake Mikatu was their target, a manmade lake to the rear of the Kaetanian Palace. Due to the 42 °C heat, multiple civilians were at the lake that day to enjoy the weather, but Slivuna had other ideas. Slivuna sent multiple ships into the lake and started firing a new kind of weapon unique to this front of the war, these were called ‘pickle bombs’ and they were designed for damage to the eyes. These were balloons filled with pickle juice designed to spray pickle juice over their target when they were fired, making it hard for them to see and stinging their eyes.
The Kaetanian Blue Navy responded by sending in two ships to fight the Slivunan ships off, these were the KBN Vansad and KBN Kazfur. Around 10 minutes into the battle, Slivuna changed their strategy and focused their attacks on the KBN Kazfur, which was reportedly hit over 17 times, with 6 hits causing major damage. The Captain was blinded by three pickle bombs fired at her, and after multiple critical hits, KBN Kazfur sank, but both members of the crew evacuated. It became a priority to safely evacuate the civilians at the scene, and when they had all been evacuated from the scene, KBN Vansad continued its attempt to fight off Slivuna’s ships. The battle ended in victory for Kaetania when the Slivunan ships retreated.
Battle of Gamer Valley
At around 15:00 PST, Gamerland had invaded Slivuna on all fronts[citation needed]. One of Kaetania's protectorates, Rioluyin Peoluyin, had contacted the mainland immediately, to which Kaetania responded by sending in all of their ships owned by the navy (KBN Vansad, Malee, Keelo, Lazil, Raquix, Qaui, and Mxia) and sent them to all lakes located in Slivuna. Gamerland had also brought out GIA Gamer ships 1-15. Like Kaetania, Slivuna sent out all their ships as well.
Kaetania and Gamerland brought out Smoke Bombs (via Kaetanian Civil War), Pickle Bombs (via Lake Mikatu), and Sting MK2s (via Battle of Vansad City). Slivuna also introduced SL1 Launchers, slingshots with hammer and sickle engravings, designed to shoot smoke and pickle bombs at targets.
Unlike all Kaetania and Gamerland v. Slivuna battles, this one lasted a total of 2 hours and 43 minutes[citation needed], with many things and places either damaged or destroyed[citation needed] on both sides. The KBN Raquix, KBN Malee, GIA Gamer 4, SLN Khanenro, Gamerian city of Gamer Town, and the Kaetanian city of New Mxia received major damage, but many other vehicles and places received minor to little damage. However, the KBN Lazil, GIA Gamers 2, 6, and 1, SLN Manin, SLN Feroro, SLN Slivgrad, Slivunan cities of Manin and Feroro, Kaetanian city of Qauiville, and the Kaetanian Outpost in Gamerland were completely destroyed.[citation needed]
Both sides suffered major damage and loss, but it ended with Kaetania and Gamerland gaining victory yet again. Kaetania, Gamerland, and Slivuna signed the Treaty of Khanenro, which gave Kaetania and Gamerland and equal share of Slivunan territory on their own fronts.
Kolinaric Scandal
On 21 September 2022, Emperor Aaron I held an economic experiment to determine the value of the Sprinske Delta by offering citizens an item worth £2, giving them some Deltas, and asking them to pay what they thought it was worth. In this experiment, it was discovered that Δ1=£4, but during the experiment, he gave Δ11 to the Mafia Republic to help them start growing their nation. About an hour later, he was informed by an agent of the Sprinske Intelligence Agency that the President of the Mafia Republic was going to create counterfeit currency and crash the Sprinske Delta, which would cause an economic disaster for the Sprinske Empire and the rest of the Kolniaric Union. This claim by the agent was a lie, but it was unknown at the time, so when Emperor Aaron I told King Niall I of Alba Nuadh about the impending crash, Alba Nuadh declared war on the Mafia Republic. Sprinske quickly followed, and the BalCasMed Alliance held an emergency assembly due to the war. They determined that, as the war was declared by Sprinske and its ally, it was not grounds for the alliance to go to war, therefore the nations condemned the Mafia Republic for trying to crash the currency, but did not get involved. Then, the Union of the Northern Alliance also held a meeting to discuss the war, and they voted to stay out of it at first, but eventually changed their minds and decided instead to send aid to Sprinske. The next day, the President of the Mafia Republic was informed of the war by Emperor Aaron I, and immediately began negotiations to end the war. Both nations began investigating the cause of the war, and eventually, they found out that the agent had a personal dislike of the Mafia Republic’s leader and wanted to eradicate that country from existence, with this information, the Sprinske Empire and Mafia Republic decided that the war had to end, and both signed the Treaty of Meli, which ended the war. The Mafia Republic added in a term that the Sprinske Empire would have to remove its military leader immediately, this came after a military protest earlier that day which demanded that the military leader resign, which he refused to do, some speculate that this term was requested by the Emperor in order to regain the support of the military.[4][5]
Battle of Area 91
Main article: Battle of Area 91
On 24 September 2022, Garru former prime minister of ValeVRG left ValeVRG and allied with the PanterBlue's Empire, then garru with the PanterBlue Empire planned an attack on ValeVRG.

Sprinske Referendum and Withdrawal
On 3 October 2022, just after the election of King Cobra of Cadoria as Prime Minister of the Sprinske Empire, a poll was held on Sprinske’s status in the war. Initially, the reactions to the vote were mostly unsure, and it had the worst turnout ever recorded in the nation, but eventually, by 5 October 2022, there were 2 votes to withdraw, 3 votes for unsure, and no votes to remain in the war. Due to the low turnout, Emperor Aaron I allowed the vote to continue until the next day, but the results were still the same, so on 6 October 2022, it was announced that the Sprinske Empire would withdraw from the war the next day as there was no reason for them to continue. On 7 October 2022, the Sprinske Empire officially withdrew from the Second Micronational War on Terror, leaving the Kolniaric Front to Alba Nuadh, the last Kolniaric nation involved in the war.
The Final Great Battle
On 9 October 2022, as the Feebusist year of 202² and regnal year 1 Taama I was coming to an end, Slivuna decided to launch its last invasion of Kaetanian territory after threatening to invade all nations involved in the war. Kaetania nor Gamerland took it well and fought Slivuna off. However, Slivuna's army became stronger since the Battle of Gamer Valley, causing Kaetania and Gamerland's armies to almost admit defeat. Suddenly, during a Slivunan attack, the Slivunan Direct Army began turning on one another. It turned out that Arazanian citizens disguised themselves as Slivunan soldiers to aid Arazania's closest allies.
Thanks to Arazania's help, the Slivunan Mainland was occupied entirely by Kaetania, Gamerland, and even Arazania. President Johanne of Slivuna discussed a peace treaty with Prince Reece I, Emper Mason I and even President Madison. The allies agreed, and the Peace Treaty of Slivuna was signed.
According to that treaty, Slivuna was to regain and relocate its mainland territory, however all three of the defenders could claim any original portion of Slivuna. Kaetania, Gamerland, and Slivuna were also required to withdraw from the war, officially ending the war.

On 29 November 2022, almost two months after the Second Micronational War on Terror ended, some ex-BDA remnants were gaining power within the Kolniari Sector, primarily in the Catanese Republic. Emperor Aaron I of the Sprinske Empire, President Zachary Stewart of the Union of the Free, President Matteo Catania of the Catanese Republic, Prime Minister Callum of Seitnam and Master Olivier of Pekatan met in Gorbachevgrad to discuss the growing power of the ex-BDA, and all of the nations agreed to declare war on the group. Seitnam did so later.
Weaponry and Technology
M 54 Ferzi Tank
Mid into the war The Republic of Feroza would give a suggestion to create the “M 54 Ferzi Tank” which had a metal-gold turret painted in desert yellow with a 70mm gun. Having 67 - 90mm armor with a Wright R-975 Whirlwind as it’s engine. Also having a maximum speed of around 62 mph, for the tank to fire it needs 7 bullets for it to attach to its upper guns.
Sting MK
The Sprinske Empire had created an artillery piece called the ‘Sting MK1‘ made from paper and elastic, from then many other prototypes of the design would be made such as the ‘Sting MK2’. This time giving the enemy soldier a paper cut. In Slivuna, smoke Grenades had been created and been shown in use at Vansad City.
Feroza had also made designs similar to the Sting MK1.
SL1 Launcher
SL1 Launchers were introduced at Gamer Valley. They were made from wishbone-like twigs and rubber bands. They were designed to launch Smoke Bombs (via Vansad City) or Pickle Bombs (via Lake Mikatu) at their target from a distance. The twigs also had engravings on them such as a Hammer and Sickle, "Slivuna!", and "Şıivünan Hödziçəwn!", meaning "Slivunan Supremacy!".
Casualties
The Second Micronational War on Terror in terms of casualties and technology had been a major step up from its predecessor, in terms of aerial technology, minor progress had been made. Casualties vary wildly depending on where your from. But a total of 38 - 93 men were wounded, specifically Feroza which suffered an estimated 30 casualties.
At Vansad City, 6 men were wounded from smoke bombs or the Sting MK2, half of them from Slivuna. At Lake Mikatu, the first naval battle, an estimated 7 ships were sent towards the battlefield. During Gamer Valley, 6 cities were destroyed or damaged.
Intermicronational Reactions
The war was mostly ridiculed by the micronational community and often described as ‘goofy’ by nations not involved. It is not taken very seriously, similarly to how the wider community viewed the first war about a decade prior, but some nations have declared their support for the war, such as the Federal Republic of Early, the Republic of ValeVRG, the Intercontinental Republic of the Americas, and the First Empire of Ikerlàndia. ValeVRG, Ikerlàndia and the Intercontinental Republic of the Americas later joined the war fully.
