The Second Packilvanian Civil War (Packilvanian: luJaheed luDusht luMawan meShabil aBakhilfaniya) was a military conflict between the Carriers of Mercy and the Packilvanian Communist Party that lasted from 1975 to 1985. The war began with the Declaration of Lehasa in Shakar whereby the Carriers formally seceded from the PCP. Aided by defections from the paramilitary forces of the Population Control Commissariate under Amhoud Bedon and People's Liberation Army (the PCP's military wing and the country's armed forces at the time), the Carriers launched a ten-year campaign that saw them gradually take over most of the country, with its leader being crowned the Amhoud I, Sultan of Packilvania by Supreme Magister Tawak VII at the Temple of the Restoration in Adrien. Due to the first and only documented combat use of strategic nuclear weapons on a domestic target (the city of Ashmayira in Iganar) against the advice of the Political Bureau of the PCP which failed to kill Amhoud I and defeat the Carriers, the PCP arrested and executed Paramount Leader Thawal Yaladir and prepared for peace talks with the Carriers. The war ended with the Peace of Bingol that resulted in the dissolution of the PCP and the Carriers of Mercy and the formation of the Constitutional Assembly of Packilvania which drafted and passed the Constitution of Packilvania (which is today the highest law of Packilvania) which reformed the country into a theocratic absolute monarchy under the rule of the Bedonite dynasty and the Magisterium of Paxism.
Background
The Packilvanian Communist Party had dethroned the Demirite dynasty in 1917 following the First Packilvanian Civil War. From then, Packilvania was ruled as a one-party autocratic dictatorship. The PCP administered policies that severely restricted Packilvania's trade with the outside world. The PCP adopted policies aimed at curtailing the influence and proliferation of Paxism, the religion of Packilvania for 6,000 years and the influence of its central institution, the Magisterium of Paxism, and religion in Packilvania more broadly. In the mid-20th century, the party pursued a policy of ethnic cleansing that resulted in a genocide against minority species especially humans, that was described as the largest genocide in history. The party repressed culture and destroyed historic monuments and artefacts. In the 1960s, the collapse of commodity prices and the cumulative effects of economic mismanagement over many decades led to high levels of inflation, corruption, poverty, famine, and political instability. The party suffered from internal disunity
