Timeline

Following the formation of the United Steves of America on August 7th, 2026, President  Bawhoppen began a campaign of expansion by exerting diplomatic pressure on unaligned towns.

8 August: Prelude and Incident

 Bawhoppen met with owner of FishTown,  crazyfish292929 on Aug 8th, and discussed the possibility of FishTown joining the United Steves. FishTown's leader did not offer a definite decision, opting to maintain independence for the time being instead. However, Fishtown did state that it was strongly considering its position regarding its national affiliation. Later on Aug 8th, Fishtown declared its allegiance to the NorthernEmpires.

This decision provoked considerable consternation among the United Steves government. On Aug 8th, President  Bawhoppen, personally led a group of U.S. representatives to Fishtown, including  Viric, as well as a U.S.-hired independent contractor,  Graviola_98. Accounts of the following incident are disputed. U.S. sources claim that the party was a peace delegation, which was illegitimately rejected, thus violating U.S. diplomatic sovereignty. Opposing sources cite the incident as a brazen raid. According to this account, for several hours, Fishtown leader  crazyfish292929 was hunted by U.S. officials, being forced to hide in various building throughout the city. All sources agree that at some point in the late hours of Aug 8th, a melee conflict broke out in FishTown between individuals from both sides. The official positions of both sides maintain that they acted in self-defense respectively, and that the other was the aggressor.

9 August: Ceasefire

The conflict escalated, until in the early hours of Aug 9th, a ceasefire was called, where peace terms were discussed. The United Steves offered a peace proposal, suggesting that FishTown abandon all national allegiances for a period of 2 weeks, after which it will reconsider its affiliation. FishTown offered a 1-day pause to consider this offer, which was accepted by the U.S.

10 August: Terms rejected

The following day, Fishtown declined the peace terms and negotiations broke down, leading to a renewal in hostilities.

11 August: The 1st Fishtown War

 SFRricraz63, owner of the NorthernEmpires nation, saw himself obligated to defend FishTown and thus declared war on the United Steves in the early hours of 11 August 2026.

Early in this conflict,  SFRricraz63 and a small army of soldiers loyal to the Northern Empires led an ambush on  Bawhoppen at WoolStreet. This force successfully occupied WoolStreet, and captured  Bawhoppen, who was released under diplomatic protocol.
