The Invasion of Traqueto, also called the Liberation of Traqueto Island, was a invasion that took place on 15 January 2023 in the disputed Traqueto Territory. The territory was disputed between the United States and the Republic of Phillip because even though Phillip claimed the land when the nation was established, no citizen of Phillip had ever set foot on it. So, in order to officially claim full control over the territory, someone from Phillip needed to visit it. This was the first ever operation of the Military of Phillip.
Timeline of events
For the purpose of this operation, the 1st Phillip Fleet was created by the Phillip Navy. It consists of three vessels, which are all one-seater kayaks. At around 7pm, the fleet left a dock near the Lukous District and headed for the island. As they were reaching the island, they stopped at a bridge to allow a Navy soldier to drop two paper copies of the flag of Phillip into their kayaks. One landed into the water, but the other copy was crumbled up and dropped directly into a kayak. Afterward, they continued on a short distance to the island.
The first person to set foot on the island was Minister Cooper Norfolk, followed by President Jaxson Renny and Vice President Luke Fitzgibbins. They discovered multiple pathways and some wooden structures that were estimated to be constructed in the early 2000s. There was also a Walmart shopping cart, a slide, and an old campfire. After a brief period of exploration, they settled on a place to make the capital city of Qeqe and planted a flag into the ground, officially conquering the territory. They also named the area that they landed as "Port Brownlee", which is currently the only official military port in Phillip.[1]
