Declaration of war
On August 1st, a holiday in Excelsior which marks the first day of the monthslong independence celebrations culminating on August 28th, independence day, President Silas W. was on a diplomatic mission to Connecticut when he was able to chat with a micronationalist, known only by his first name, “Anders”. Anders is the presumed leader of the nation of “Duckland”, a small and, according to military intelligence collected by the Army and Air Corps, incredibly secretive micronation located in connecticut. After a short discussion, Anders declared that a state of war was to exist between Excelsior and Duckland, and formally declared war.
Battle of the Forest
In the first battle of the war, a small skirmish occurred in the woods near the home President Silas was staying in for his diplomatic mission when Ducklandian forces crossed paths with a few Excelsioran officers. Commander-General Silas led Excelsioran troops to a self-declared victory, in a battle later to be known as the battle of the forest. After a teleconference with the chancellor, Nicolas W., Excelsior formally declared war.
Response
The chancellor released this statement following the announcement:
"Dear Citizens, while I am against war of all kind, I have been persuaded by the president that this is a low level threat and that our victory will be quick and decisive. I will support this war, but if it continues into September of 2021, my party will pull support. This war should also not drift our attention from matters at home – I am still intent on passing more legislation to benefit all citizens. Thank you."
The war has been described by top military officials as “and incredibly low-level threat”, and most analysts believe Excelsior will achieve a quick and decisive victory. Excelsior will be strengthening its cybersecurity defense in preparation for the war, but besides that so far has not taken any action in terms of defense.
Surrender
After just 6 days of combat, Excelsior won a quick and decisive victory over Duckland in the Forest War. Duckland surrendered at 11:23 AM today, on August 6th, 2021. The surrender marked the second victory in a war for Excelsior in a row, leaving Excelsior undefeated in any conflict. After tense negotiation, Anders, the presumed leader of the state of Duckland, accepted an offer from the government for compensation in turn for a formal surrender. 11 cents USD was provided from the Excelsioran government for compensation in return for the surrender. The surrender was negotiated by the president, Silas W., and chancellor, Nicolas W., who have both been awarded the victory medal. Duckland became a subjugated territory of Excelsior.
