A period of geopolitical tension between Norograd and Morstaybishlia and their respective allies began immediately following the Auroran Imperial War, and lasted until the dissolution of Norograd in 1996. There was no large-scale fighting directly between the two powers, but they engaged in proxy wars such as the Lyrevale Civil War.

Troubled with a a language and cultural divide for hundreds of years, [[Justelvard]], who seceded from Morstaybishlia upon the closure of the Auroran Imperial War, held a referendum in November 2016 for Morstaybishlian reunification. The Port Makuh Agreement stated that "if at any stage it is clear that a majority of constituencies in Justelvard hold pro-Morstaybishlian seats, then a referendum for Morstaybishlian reunification would be considered" and that, under these terms, "a Morstaybishlian reunification would see Justelvard become a functioning member state of Great Morstaybishlia as opposed to territory of the crown". At the time, Prime Minister Wiley Gordwin controversially ignored this clause in the Port Makuh Agreement which saw his opinion polls drop to 29%, the lowest of any Justelvardic Prime Ministers ever. He resigned on 10 October 2015 after a full day of debate in the Justelvardic House of Representatives. His successor, Arran Samsey, held a referendum on 16 December 2015 which saw a 65% vote for Morstaybishlian reunification. Samsey flew to Sani Bursil on many occasions to discuss with [[Walter Johannes]] on enacting the clause. Exactly one year later, on 16 December 2016, the United Kingdom of Great Morstaybishlia and Justelvard came into being, the result of Acts of Union being passed by the parliaments of Great Morstaybishlia and Justelvard to ratify the earlier 2016 Treaty of Union and so unite the two kingdoms.
