The Lovian Civil War, previously recognized as the Northern Lovian riots, was a civilian war in all states of the Kingdom of Lovia that began on the 3rd of October as a small riot to the 6th of November, with an intermediate pause in conflict. It was the first major conflict ever to spread all across Lovia. The conflict started when a drunken brawl on a Seven train sparked off an uprising. Due to Lovia's lack of official armed forces, organizations such as the United Nations Lovian Order Restoration acted as the temporary peacekeeping military. Even though it started from Seven, by the end of the war it had spread across the archipelago and influenced Oceana, which became the last state to host the war. The civil war had been described as 'opportunistic' in the light of the chaotic political scene, and a significant portion of the rioters had no political motivation, though many anti-government groups were of far-right or right-wing orientation, and a significant portion of pro-government groups were left-wing.

The most prominent rebel leaders were Nikolai Koshkov (Missing in action, possibly fled the country to his native Russia), I. G. La Blaca, the leader of the Republic of the Liberated Territories (Killed in action in a gunfight), Kim Dae-su, the leader of HAMR (Prisoner of war after surrendering), Alejandro Ruiz del Cruz, the son of I. G. La Blaca (Killed under mysterious circumstances) and the later joined Il Duce Octavian, dictator of the Empire of Oceana (Missing in action).

Course of the war[]

Build-up to the riots[]

The Civil War is considered to have no definitive single cause. Historians generally agree that the riot (which was considered to be initially apolitical) was tied to the underlying causes of the war. What is now recognized as a fundamental inequality of wealth in the northern states compared to the southern states, widespread dissatisfaction with the political system and the lack of effective peacekeeping measures that led to events like the May Revolution. These issues, particularly the May Revolution, are now considered to be signs of increasing tension that was building in Lovia.

Alongside the issues of inequality, political dissatisfaction and security there was an issue with the increasing radicalism of far-right groups such as the Iron Guard Party and Novosevenskian nationalists. The IGP had existed for some time without radicalizing but it is thought that the inactivity of the both Villanova governments towards the normalizing of political violence led to members of the movement becoming increasingly belligerent towards the government. Political analysts believe that groups like the IGP and UNS managed to use propaganda to convince a significant proportion of the population that strong government was needed to restore order and that only they could provide said government.

The final issue which is considered to be unique to Oceana and areas like Novosevensk is the exacerbation of ethnic conflict in Lovia which played a major role in which areas revolted against the government. In Oceana the unique Oceana culture had developed an increasingly nationalistic element and an increase in desire for independence hailing from the time of the Free Republic of Hurbanova. This was further inflamed by the Christian and conservative nature of Oceana in stark contrast to the atheistic and progressive Villanova Governments. In Seven this was conflict between Russian- and American-Lovians, an aspect of Seven that has its origin in the founding of the state.

There had been attempts to deal with the causes of the Civil War at the time. There had been the creation of welfare programs to support the poor in Lovia. Halfway through 2011 Marcus Villanova invited conservative parties into his government as a measure of compromise after the May Revolution. Further to this there were many calling for unique status to be given to Oceana to counter the demands of separatists. Whether these were implemented too late or simply ineffective at countering the growing anti-government narrative is disputed.

Most who reported on the conflict agree that the main prompt for the civil war to occur when it did was the seemingly insignificant fight between two Lovians on a train in Seven and the October Coup. The fight on the train between a Russian- and American-Lovian led to riots that were not controlled because the Police Commissioner attempted to overthrow the Lovian Congress. It is thought that these two events were completely independent of each other and chance caused the riots to occur on the same morning Scribner decided to try and perform his coup. Ultimately this combined with all the underlying issues created the spark for the disorder spiraling into a major conflict in Lovia and UN intervention.

First stage (3rd to 10th of October)[]

The starting point of the Civil War is usually seen as a violent confrontation between two men of Russian and American origin on the Seven State Railway, ending with the injury of the Russian man. News of the conflict sparked reprisal attacks in Novosevensk from far right-wing groups such as Shaynovna, in which several properties were destroyed. Absence of police support led to opportunistic rioting in the northern states, including the lynching of an Asian-Lovian policeman by fascist groups and the trapping an of an anti-riot force in the Seven Court House. Many properties were looted and burned by the rioters within the next few days, and volunteer groups, supported by Governor of Seven Semyon Breyev and John Amman, began to emerge to counter this due to the lack of police presence. Breyev himself was nearly killed while trapped in the Seven Court House by rioters, but was rescued by a team of police.

A turning point came on the 6th of October when priest Dormidont Petropavlov was murdered while negotiating with Shaynovna, leading to a backlash from the religious Novosevenskians. With the government looking weak, UNS politician La Blaca now emerged on the scene, uniting various sectors of society and crushing dissent, with the help of the private militia known as The Brigade. He attracted support particularly from those who had suffered from the riots and had become disillusioned with waiting for police support, and the Novosevenskians after he retaliates against Shaynovna. The government declared a state of emergency at 11:50 that day. By this date, significant, but peaceful, protests in other regions, particularly Oceana, had begun to emerge.

On the 7th, Congress approved a motion requesting military aid from the UN. By now, the rebels had obtained full control of Novosevensk and Kinley, and Nikolai Koshkov and I.G. La Blaca declared the independence of the rebel Republic of the Liberated Territories (RLT); the next day the UNLOR force was deployed and secured all of the territory not held by the rebels. The situation at this point seemed to be improving. Late on the 7th, a large group of RLT and Brigade members, led by Koshkov, landed on the north shore of Kings, in order to attack Newhaven, where UNLOR had set up command. On the 8th, an UNLOR helicopter carrying refugees, including MOTC Niamh McQuillan, was shot down, killing all ten on board. This was denounced by many leaders in the country.

On the 8th, protests in Sofasi, which had originally been peaceful, began to get violent, and RLT volunteers landed in Lisney and Abington to aid anti-government rioters in overthrowing UNLOR control there. Much of southern Clymene began to experience heavy fighting, as UNLOR forces fought rioters in the streets of Sofasi, resulting in the damage or destruction of several properties. On the 9th, Koshkov was captured following the complete failure of his group's attack on Newhaven. However, forces led by La Blaca captured an UNLOR convoy, leading to both sides having diplomatic leverage. UNLOR also began attempts to block the communications of the rebels.

Negotiations, which had been begun, rapidly came to a stalemate, due to UNLOR's condition for any agreement that all rebels must lay down their arms. On the 10th, however, an agreement was reached for a truce and meetings to be held on Discovery Island. UNLOR withdrew from locations close to rebel strongholds in Seven, but minor skirmishes continued to occur in Clymene, and protests in Oceana, often led by the Parti fo Nesavicelost 'Oshenna, raged on.

Second stage (21st to 24th of October)[]

It later became known that during the truce La Blaca had been engaged in negotiations with a number of groups, including Harvian authorities, Oceana nationalist movements, imprisoned IGP members and radicalised Green Crossers in Southern Kings, in an attempt to gain the support of these groups against the government.

The truce was broken at noon on the 21st of October by the last of these groups, when Kim Dae-su, a noted Korean-Lovian conservative, marshalled an extremist branch of the Green Cross Movement into a revolutionary force, the High Authority of the Movement for Revolution (HAMR); the HAMR program was a radicalization of historic sentiments rooted in the conflict between the inhabitants of southern Kings and the authorities in Newhaven/Noble City. Two hours later, they were joined by La Blaca, and an assassination attempt was made on General McArthur of UNLOR. The organization, at its peak controlling over a third of Kings, installed a Mayor of Portland and achieved backing from several important families of the area. By the next day, however, the movement was forced to surrender, being unable to maintain grassroots support, and struggling due to insufficient weaponry, and Kim surrendered himself to the authorities.

On the 22nd, the Harvian-sponsored Lovian Land Army, supported by Harvian mercenaries, launched an attack from sea on Noble City. Although the well-trained force had initial success, the Harvian government quickly grew concerned about the cost in both lives and money, and due to clumsy organisation the role of the Harvians quickly became apparent. They quickly backtracked and by the 23rd a truce had been drawn up between Harvia and Lovia. Non-mercenary members of the LLA mostly began to work with the RLT and newly released IGP members in attacking Noble City. Strategic air strikes began to occur on rebel held regions.

The 22nd also saw a raid by La Blaca on high security prison around the country which successfully freed a number of high profile IGP members, including Hessel Doorian and Dietrich Honecker, boosting both RLT numerical strength and morale. A number of raids swiftly took place, with an unsuccessful battle in Noble City, supported by the LLA. A local militia made up of Noble City locals, led by Vadim Smith, aided UNLOR in repelling the rebels from the city. After several skirmishes both in and out of the city, the rebels withdrew. Koshkov was released in exchange for the release of captured UNLOR soldiers.

By this point, this coalition of diverse allies was coming under immense strain. In particular, the Novosevenskian faction was infuriated by the freeing of IGP members, and on October 23rd a group, led by Anton Shcherbakov, attempted to secede from the coalition and form the Principality of Novosevensk. The Principality lasted all of six hours, until a large force was sent by the RLT to crush dissent. Faced with destruction, Shcherbakov appealed to UNLOR, who landed troops on Seven soil within a day. RLT troops fought desperately against their former allies and a powerful UNLOR force to maintain possession of one of their core territories, and with the defeat of almost all their allies, it seemed that their cause was doomed. Novosevensk would surrender and come under UNLOR control later that day.

Third stage (25th to 31st of October)[]

By the 25th, Novosevensk was back under government control, and UNLOR had begun to make progress in re-capturing Clymene from rebel forces. Kinley still remained under rebel control, however. A power struggle between La Blaca and others occurred. After a rebel commander, Ricardo Caveles-Ortega, attempted to assassinate La Blaca, he was executed. UNLOR asked for the surrender of the RLT, who refused, stating that they would fight until the last drop of blood was spilt.

Oceana protests organized into a rebel front known as Oslobodenia on the 25th, lead by Il Duce Octavian. They quickly established control over most of the state, facing little resistance from government forces, as the Governor of Oceana, Oos Wes Ilava, was a sympathizer of the movement. The new, powerful rebel group foiled UNLOR's plans to have re-established government control over the country by the end of the 26th. Octavian announced his plan to take control over the entirety of Peace Island, and followed up on this by attacking Noble City and Train Village. In response, the pro-government Southern Cross Alliance emerged, fighting against Oslobodenian takeover of Sylvania and evacuating refugees to Charleston, considered out of reach of the rebels.

Late on the 26th, commanders and soldiers from the RLT landed in Noble City to attempt to take the city with aid from the LLA and Oslobodenia. This was partially successful, as rebels took control of Noble City International Airport and a few neighborhoods of the city. The next day, La Blaca declared himself king of the RLT, and attempted to have Koshkov killed. Koshkov managed to flee the country before this could be completed. That day, rebels completed a tactical surrounding Noble City and began a siege. The government had fled Noble City at this point to set up a government-in-exile in Newhaven.

On the 27th, skirmishes outside Train Village between the Southern Cross Alliance and Oslobodenia occurred. UNLOR began to give weapons to pro-government forces, including a newly established far-left militia led by Milivoy Przwalsky (who allegedly decapitated an Oslobodenia militiaman with a homemade chainsaw) and headquartered in East Hills, where they briefly held control before being forced to withdraw to the highlands. They would later aid in the push by the Southern Cross Alliance to retake Clave Rock the next day. Meanwhile, UNLOR announced that Clymene was completely under government control once more.

On the 28th, UNLOR, the SCA, the Special Forces of Lovia, and locals in Noble City organized an effort to retake the city, which had been more or less under rebel control despite a lack of active presence there, with government forces mostly having fled to Kings. After reports emerged that an RLT officer had executed a civilian, a battle rages on until the morning of the 29th, at the end of which RLT forces withdrew to the Emerald Highlands (with La Blaca residing at Castle Donia, and Oslobodenia to fortify the borders of Oceana (despite a small counterattack that morning), now pushed completely out of Sylvania, with the exception of the airport in Noble City. During the battle, Vadim Smith had switched sides to aid the rebels, but was killed, and many members of the RLT, especially those linked to the IGP, such as Dietrich Honecker and Hessel Doorian (who would later die of blood loss that day), were arrested. A heavily fortified Kinley remained under RLT control; however, the rest of American Island was under UNLOR control by this point.

On the 30th, La Blaca was killed in a firefight by UNLOR forces, and UNLOR established a no-fly zone over rebel control areas, as Oslobodenia had been using captured planes to bomb settlements in Sylvania. UNLOR then prepared for a final assault on Kinley, but met little response upon entering the town, as the most radical members had fled to Oceana. Abdullah DeUn, the provisional successor to La Blaca as consul, signs the surrender for the RLT. With the help of pro-government militias, UNLOR began advancing towards Hurbanova, and by the end of the day controlled about one third of Oceana. Left-wing militias along with the SCA re-established control over East Hills.

By noon of the 31st, a large segment of Oslobodenian had stopped fighting or even defected to the side of the government. The only loyal Oslobodenian forces were located in Hurbanova as UNLOR prepared for a final assault. After fighting in the streets of Hurbanova, Oslobodenian officials and supporters fled that evening to the uninhabited City Archipelago. Aside from continuing unrest in Oceana and Kinley, the entirety of Lovia except for the City Archipelago was under government control again.

Fourth stage (1st to 6th of November)[]

UNLOR invaded the City Archipelago and the new settlement of Oslobodenia 'Oshenna and re-established control. Il Duce Octavian ceased to be heard from.

The flag of Seven is taken down from Kinley Town Hall and the RLT flag raised in its place.
  • 2100, In Kings Koshkov lands with 200 rebels on the northern coast and begins marching south towards Newhaven. Locals from Beaverwick destroy the road and harass the rebel forces from concealed positions forcing them to halt. The rebel forces fall back and begin maneuvering around the defensive positions.

8th of October[]

  • 0400, North of Kings a UN naval force cuts Koshkov and his rebel force off from the RLT supply lines. UNLOR forces arrive across Lovia in Sofasi, Northern Seven, Noble City and Newhaven. Koshkov and his rebel force begins marching through the central highland heading south-west.

It crashes three miles east of Kinley killing everyone on board including two UNLOR pilots and eight civilians (later one of the civilians is identified as Niamh McQuillan who becomes the first MotC to be killed in the conflict).

9th of October[]

  • 00:01: UNLOR troops start an invasion in fought-over regions. Government control is restored in parts of Clymene and Seven. Two UNLOR officers have been badly injured. Death count on the rebel side is estimated at six.
  • 0500: Koshkov, while wandering in the mountains of Kings and attempting to return to Seven, is captured by UNLOR forces and incarcerated in Newhaven.
  • 0700: Fierce fighting outside Sofasi results in the capture of eight UNLOR soldiers and ten civilians by the rioters; they are transferred to base in Novosevensk. Nine rioters, three UNLOR soldiers and eleven citizens are killed, and the whole of Clymene is retaken, apart from a few areas on the Sofasi coast, most notably the Sofasi Lighthouse.
  • 0900: La Blaca sends dozens of his loyal rebels into a daring raid on a heavily armed UNLOR convoy in retaliation of Koshkov's capture. Despite minor losses on the rebel side, luck is with them this time. The UN peacekeepers (about fifteen man strong), completely taken by suprise, are captured by the rebels. Their equipment, guns and ammunition - of better quality then what the rebels are used to - is taken and handed out among them. La Blaca intends to use these captive officers in negotiating with the authorities. To begin with, he offers to free two of the captive officers in exchange of Koshkov's freedom. The situation of the rebels is beginning to improve and they are gaining ground.
  • 1000: In response to the ongoing resistance against a more peaceful solution, the UNLOR commander has officially threatened with the use of strategic air-strikes. He demands an end of all rebel violence by 6:00 PM October 8th and the surrender of the rebel militia.
  • 1100: La Blaca answers on behalf of all rebel forces: "We will never surrender. We will fight till our last drop of blood is spilled and our last breath of air is taken, we live and we die in absolute freedom and with honour". To prevent strategic air-strikes, captured UNLOR officers are strategically placed near would-be targets and thus used as human shields.
  • 1105: UNLOR initiates 'Operation Kenneth' to distort the rebel communication network. Telecommunications providers for the rebel-controlled areas have been shut down and radio-frequencies have been successfully blocked. Operation Kenneth is meant to disintegrate the rebel network.
  • 1130: In response to Operation Kenneth, the rebel government uses its 23 UNLOR prisoners as hostages, threatening to shoot one every hour, starting from noon, until the following demands are met: withdrawal of UNLOR forces from Clymene and Seven; restoration of telecommunication in the two states; release of Consul Koshkov; and negotiations refereed by a neutral party (not the UN, which has shown no consideration for the rebels' grievances).
  • 1200: The UNLOR command launches a counter-proposal that holds the exchange of Nikolai Koshkov and two other protagonist rebels for the 23 UNLOR officers. This agreement comes however with the condition that all civilians from the rebel territory may return to government-controlled land if they wish. In exchange for such a safe conduct, UNLOR is prepared to stop its advancement for the next five hours.
  • 1300: The rebel authorities reject this proposal and request a two-day truce, during which time both UN and rebel forces will stop advancing. All prisoners on both sides will be freed and discussions will take place between the national and rebel authorities, mediated by the UN.
  • 1330: UNLOR commander Levi McArthur stressed he is glad about the recent development of diplomatic initiatives, but that the demand of releasing all apprehended rebels can only be met under the condition of rebel disarmament. He also had a conversation with Jhon Lewis and other Lovian politicians.
  • Rebel disarmament is nonnegotiable as I. G. La Blaca answers on behalf of the rebels: "We are glad that Mr. McArthur is willing to negotiate with us, the True Lovians, the the pure and the righteous. We can, however, not agree with laying down our guns before our goals have been successful and our demands have been met, as it would put us at a disadvantaged position and would make us vulnerable and helpless. We cannot allow that to happen, and hope for your understanding".

The boat is stopped in position, but with haste, the team continues the raid, making their way into the bowels of the ship, where they discover nearly a half-ton in varying explosives. This explains why the ship's armed crew were at first, hesitant to fire, and why they were traveling by sea. Once word of this gets through to UNLOR and the government, it becomes acknowledged that the insurrectionists pose a larger threat at sea, even. Worse, is that the yacht was making its way south along the chain of islands.

Vadim Smith

Quoting from the movie Gladiator (2000): "On my signal, unleash hell!" the brave men advance, against all odds and facing a numerically superior enemy.

Shooting breaks out and one man is killed and several wounded, and the Novosevenskian rebels are split in two: the moderates led by Shcherbakov and the radicals led by Koshkov. Because most of Koshkov's supporters are fighting in Kinley, he is outnumbered and forced to flee to the RLT stronghold in the east. Shcherbakov declares the Principality of Novosevensk, with himself as Prime Minister and Countess Sevensky as Head of State.

A faction of the rebels claim that Il Duce should become chief of the new state. However, Il Duce says to not have organized these protests "which have come too fast". Nonetheless, he uses this opportunity to strengthen the support of nationalist Oceana, and calls for a general uprising. In the rest of Lovia, it becomes clear that the set date of 26 October for a general peace, is not realizable. The Civil War was initially localized to Seven, Clymene and Kings.

Thereafter Il Duce Octavian holds his famous October Speech, calling for co-operation. Ending his speech, screaming out loud "victoria" three times, he becomes emotional and La Blaca gives him a symbolical hug. Then they turn to the crowd, stand together and hold their hands in the air, whereafter the crowd starts to yell and gives them a tremendous ovasion which lasts for several minutes. Hundreds of people are willing to keep on fighting, and now side on side, with the Oceana rebels.
  • 1000: Richard Creed's farm in the interior of Peace Island, which is located in Sylvania and borders Oceana was burnt to the ground, most likely by the hands of the rebel groups lead by L. G. La Blaca and II Duce Octavian. Locals reported that large explosion rang out after the fire began, causing panic throughout the bystanders. Creed's whereabouts are still unknown.
  • 2015: With the new developments, Yuri Medvedev retreats to Newhaven with an extra detachment of UNLOR troops to secure the area against the once again growing rebellion.

They are recruiting men in Noble City and Hurbanova to fight the resistance in Train Village and Stephen Headland which is in risk of being outnumbered.
  • 0630: Oslobodenia fully controls Noble City International Airport, maybe the most important strategic point of Lovia. UNLOR won't be able to make use of the airport in the future.
  • 0800: Due to increased support from Oslobodenia and other rebels, La Blaca succeeds in drawing all RLT power into his own hands.

  • 0915: Several messages coming from Noble City claim that most of the city is in the hands of non-rebelling civilians who formed unofficial defense squads. These messages are hard to trace and have not been confirmed yet. Though without doubt Noble City is no longer fully controlled by the rebel side.

Costello rendezvouses with strayed UNLOR forces stationed in Noble City Bay, and expresses an urgency to visit the supposedly ravaged Noble City Coastal Police Outpost located at the southern-end of Noble Beach. In an unauthorized effort, Costello attempts to integrate Sigma-1 into UNLOR units. While UNLOR units are at first reluctant, Costello assures them that with the added firepower, that they would have the potential to filtrate entire neighborhoods. They agree, and the Sigma-1/UNLOR Joint Task Force is formed. Costello's plan is to force his way through the heavy resistance in the southern-half of the city, leaving an open, secure trail behind him. He hopes for his joint-force resistance to reach as far as New Town.
  • 1300: The two units are successfully merged, and the platoon begins pushing across Noble Beach. No non-violent protesters are not killed. It soon becomes apparent, however, that a number of rebels have been armed with police-grade firearms. It soon becomes apparent that the Coastal Police Outpost on Sebastian street was raided by zealous insurrectionists. The joint task force reaches the beach and claims the territory as their own, establishing a firebase on the grounds of the police station, before heading forward. Two squads are ordered to stay behind and guard the newly-established base while the remainder of the resistance moves onward.
  • 1350: The joint unit moves in to the Old Harbor, using cobblestone walls and trees for cover. Two UNLOR officers are killed in the crossfire.

These three territories are all small areas on the left side of the Beaver River.

Il Duce is still waiting for a Sylvanian response on the General's Compromise.

With Koshkov fled, Honecker captured and Ruiz del Cruz either captured or killed, the situation is looking grim for the Republic of the Liberated Territories. The RLT is rapidly losing ground to UNLOR forces and Lovian Unionists and patriots, armed and supported by UNLOR.
  • 0700: La Blaca sends out a messenger to Donia Castle with he last message. He supports the General's Compromise but he will not flee to the castle. He will hold his ground and die on Lovian soil if necessary. He vows to never surrender and continue fighting until the end.

The alliance agrees not to invade the Donia Castle, Muzan Hills, lands south of Noble City, or other currently Oceanan territories, but does not support a fully independent state of Oceana, instead requesting a highly autonomous state within Lovia. However, the Southern Cross Alliance will aid UNLOR if they deem the acquirement of Sylvanian territory by Oceana is not good.

Our Lovia, our king, everything, except those pesky rebels need help and we can't just let Lovia rot! Who's with me?" He eventually retains a position similar to Vadim Smith, and rounds up a crowd estimated to be at 400 people.
  • 1501: Carrey demoralizes armies across the land, allowing a better Trojan-style assault.

Honecker was captured without injury put into maximum secuirty.
  • 0500: Rumours circle around that La Blaca has fled his stronghold shortly before its discovery, accompanied by a small group of his most trusted advisors and inner circle.

He "may hold valuable information", says Costello, responsible for taking him in. A special unit tries to track down La Blaca.
  • 0700: At La Blaca's abandoned stronghold, a secret trapdoor is found to be by clicking fifteen buttons. The plane was a diversion, but really people found La Blaca inside the stronghold. He is immediately arrested and put in high custody. For safety he is put in a prison airplane of UNLOR's with a hijack-proof doors and walls.
  • 0712: Cunning as ever, La Blaca had placed a body double in his stronghold as yet another scheme to put his enemies on the wrong track. The man UNLOR forces thought to be La Blaca quickly turned out to be a Spanish tourist who shares nothing more with the illustrious rebel commander then an uncanny resemblence. The real La Blaca is possibly in disguise and travelling around a lot, never staying in the same place for long. It is assumed he and his inner circle are staying in the households of friends. The authorities release images of what La Blaca might look like with a beard or moustache, with a hat on or sunglasses or with a different hair colour or clothing. A bounty is put on his head.

The Remembrance Park in the village Kinley is open in December 2011 for victims in the first and second word war and also the civil war. The Civil War Monument is built in the park, only for the victims of the civil war. The park is built on the place where before the war houses and other buildings stands.

Missing Combatants[]

After the war 106 members of the UNLOR and allied forces were classed as missing in action. These combatants have been nicknamed the "Lost Hundred" and many efforts have been taken to discover what happened to them and whether they are still alive. These efforts have largely been carried out privately by relatives and friends. Current intelligence suggests that most of the missing were prisoners that were killed and given quick burials in unmarked graves.
