FishTown War

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.

 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 with regards to a national affiliation. Later on Aug 8th, Fishtown declared its allegiance to the NorthernEmpires.

Viewed as an insult by the United Steves government, this decision provoked a diplomatic crisis. In the late hours of Aug 8th, President  Bawhoppen, alongside several U.S. representatives, such as  Viric, and a U.S.-hired independent contractor,  Graviola_98, personally led a raid on Fishtown. For a period of several hours, Fishtown leader  crazyfish292929 hid from attacks in various buildings through the town, alongside several allies. Despite being a staunch member of the United Steves,  everminingkid aided  crazyfish292929's personal protection, though returned to his U.S. allegiance following the incident.

The crisis culminated in a ceasefire in the early hours of Aug 9th, where peace terms were discussed. The United Steves offered a peace proposal, suggesting that FishTown abandon all national allegiances for the 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. The final outcome has yet to be decided.
