History
From 18 December to 30 December 2019, there was a civil war in Altavia. After the Kingdom of Altavia declared independence from the US, The Altavian National Front, or the ANF, then declared independence from them, and the Altavian Monarchist Party, or the AMP, invaded their territory, seeing it as a threat to the nation. The ANF had been pushing the AMP back towards the capital, at the battles of Ebony Hill and Mount Cornerstone, but lost at the battle of St. Sonia. The ANF then invaded Maple Grove National Park, but were defeated at the battle of Maple Grove. After the ANF loss at Bottleneck, the AMP were in striking distance of their capital. The AMP sieged the capital during the First Battle of Alexandria, but were pushed behind the Bottleneck. The AMP then crossed the Bottleneck at the battle of Camp Dhalada, which was an AMP victory. Then, at the Second Battle of Alexandria, the ANF surrendered, and the New Year's Convention in Alexandria, the AMP formed the Commonwealth of Altavia, and the ANF formed the National Republic of Alexandria.
On 5 January 2019, at 13:32 PST, the Commonwealth Armed Forces invaded the National Republic of Alexandria, terminating the sovereignty of the nation.
