The Winter Crisis

The Winter Crisis was an ongoing crisis involving the nations of Zuid California, Titanicvilla, and Cheesia on one side, and Asterion on the other side. The main cause of the crisis stems from the October Putsch; When Spooky Zalost, the supreme ruler of Asterion, led a successful autocoup against the democracy of Asterion, and replaced it with a total dictatorship. Zuid California was also particularly concerned with the belligerence of this new state; it had continually been making empty militaristic threats against neighboring nations. The final concern, which nearly lead to nuclear war, was Asterien imperialism. Asterion had subjugated Japan under its rule, supposedly as a research station. This act forcefully hellenized the population.

The crisis ended exactly 3 years later, with the failure of Project Artemis and the consequent destruction of much of Asterion. The colony of Tarteron (former Japan) was liberated and returned to former leaders, and a large scale resettlement of Asterien lands by the nations of USMR is currently taking place.
