Inter Coalition War
The Inter Coalition War was a conflict between the Arstotzkan Union and three member states of the Coalition of United Micronations, the Ultra Democratic Republic of Referendums, Taurstan Anarchist Federation and Empire of the Benereich.
The war broke out when the Arstotzkan Union wished to not relinquish powers over the Discord server used by members of the Coalition of United Micronations. Tensions had been rising in the previous days as the Arstotzkan Union announced that it would re-stake its claims of sovereignty over Rat Island, which was given to the Empire of the Benereich in November 2022.
The war saw little physical combat by the nations. Much of the sources of conflict came from discord or online. However this did not change the mindset of the Arstotzkan Union, who issued a mobilization order to the troops of the 2nd Army Infantry Regiment, and the nation also prompted allied nations to do so as well.
Following the change of leadership back to Election Leader Tristen on 22 May, the First President of the Arstotzkan Union, Ethan Brinkman announced that the Arstotzkan Union and other allies would leave the Coalition and concede victory of all conflicts to the Coalition of United Micronations.
