Kostromastan: Difference between revisions

Formed in 2006 as a direct result of both the [[Salovian Civil War]] and the [[Treaty of Astravili (2005)|2005 Treaty of Astravili]], the nation had been initially established as an interim government until a more comprehensive solution could be made that would better serve the diverse peoples of the [[Khermali River]] valley. A summit on the status of Kostromastan had been planned as early as 2008. However, in part due to the Kost-Tuva War of 2009-2010, the summit had been postponed until 2011. This summit also never came to pass, as the [[Volovan Conundrum]] resulted in further political stagnation on the question of Kostromastan. The idea of a summit had largely been neglected for years after 2011, until the advent of the 2017 [[Aurora-Pacific War]], in which the politically-decentralized nation took a vote on whether to join the war on the side of the Ethalrian-led Axis. The provinces of the nation's southern region all voted against joining the war, while the northern provinces voted to join. Nolova, the province that cast the deciding vote, also voted against war. However, due to the nature of the political structure of Kostromastan, the northern provinces simply amassed a local militia, and joined the war despite the decision. The northern provinces experienced a heavy defeat after only one military operation to invade [[Nocturne]], and only after holding the city for a few days, were forced to retreat by Allied reinforcements. [[Kuthernburg]] also conducted airstrikes on a number of military targets within northern Kostromastan as an additional response, thus ending Kostromastan's involvement in the war.
