The Grand Theft Auto V affair was an affair between various micronationalists involving Leon Montan owning the game Grand Theft Auto V.

Background

Grand Theft Auto V is a 2013 action-adventure game developed by Rockstar North and published by Rockstar Games. The Entertainment Software Rating Board, also known as the ESRB, rated this game as mature, due to its use of blood, nudity, language, alcohol, etc. On 26 January 2020, Leon Montan complained to TOES in regard to his slow download speed, when downloading the game. This was noticed by Lycon and was later confirmed by Leon Montan on 27 January 2020. As Leon Montan was 13 at the time, and the ESRB having jurisdiction in his area (that being North America), it would have been against the rating to play the game.

Timeline

On 28 January 2020, Jayden Lycon, the commander-in-chief of the Aenderian Coast Guard, issued a sarcastic warrant notice named "delete gta V"' stating that Montan would be arrested for downloading Grand Theft Auto V while being underage, despite having no jurisdiction over Montan.

Zarel Smith of New Eiffel would also criticize Leon shortly after. A day later, the message was received by Leon Montan and he later responded, preparing the National Liberation Army to intervene Jayden Lycon's buttocks. The conversation was later forgotten.

On 4 February 2020, Aidan McGrath from Paloma intervened, criticizing Lycon for threatening to arrest Montan despite having no jurisdiction and that Lycon would just start even more drama. McGrath also challenged Lycon to do the same, as McGrath owned a copy of Grand Theft Auto and was lower than 18 (despite the fact that the game is rated 17 or over). Zarel Smith later threatened war between New Eiffel and Paloma, in which McGrath laughed at. After, Leon and Zarel told Aidan that the whole conflict was purely non-serious and a joke. Zarel would later inform that New Eiffel was mobilizing 200 troops armed with nerf guns, in an attempt to assassinate Leon, despite the fact that the United Armed Forces lacked the resources to fulfill such task. Cole Baird from Wegmat later criticized Montan for downloading the game and was planning to sue Rockstar Games for the bad game.
